House of (Many) Cards: New Hobby Card Shop Shares Sports Passion
9 Dec 2021
News, Eau Claire
You could say that a new venture by industrious Eau Claire native Jordan Hagedorn, NFL player agent and marketing professional, is just a house of cards.
Hagedorn would be OK with that. In fact, that’s how he would like people to think of For the Hobby Sports Cards, the new sports card shop that he and his wife, Miki, opened recently at 1721 Birch St., formerly the location of Buroker’s Taxidermy, Bait, and Tackle.
For the Hobby is all about cards and only cards, thousands of 2½-inch by 3½ -inch laminated pieces of cardboard that — for those who follow pro football, baseball, basketball (and soon hockey) and love to collect — create a tangible and visceral connection to the athletes and games they love.
