Hawkeye Baseball Cards (4.2 ⭐)

💬 Collector Notes

Independent editorial assessment

This is a true “Brick and Mortar” experience with several critical logistical quirks. Payment Note: As of late 2025/early 2026, the shop remains a cash-only establishment; they do not typically accept credit or debit cards, so visit the ATM on Jefferson St before you arrive. Inventory Highlight: If you are a fan of the Burlington Bees (or local history like the 1890s Burlington Hawkeyes), Pat often has rare local minor league pieces that you won’t find anywhere else in the state. Customer Experience: While Pat is widely praised for his expertise, he is a “purist”—one reviewer noted he can be very discerning about what he buys or even looks at if it doesn’t fit his niche of vintage quality. Pro Tip for 2026: If you can’t make it to the physical store, Pat is highly active in the Midwest trade show circuit and maintains a strong presence on Facebook where he posts daily new arrivals of high-end vintage finds. Condition Warning: This is a “don’t touch without asking” shop; many items are authentic antiques and are treated with the care of a gallery.
