THE BOERNE BUZZ

NBA Player George Hill Pulls 6-Figure Card in New Local Card Shop*

Remember Prime Time Sports Cardz, the new sports cards & memorabilia shop we told y’all about? They were just visited by pro basketball player, George Hill (who started out as a Spur, btw) where he cashed out a $15,000 box of Flawless Basketball cards and hit a massive 6-figure Flawless Champions Tags Stephen Curry card. In a generous gesture, he gave away his leftover cards to local kids that were lucky to be in the shop today.

Big things are happening in the new shop. So make sure to visit them at 27650 I-10 W and tell them The Boerne Life set you! Follow them on Facebook here.
