I have had the pleasure of knowing Dan since his first phone call to Upper Deck. At first I looked at his application and photos, saw a small shop and wondered how Fox Sports would survive. Dan was quick to reassure me that he had the collectors in mind and wanted to do everything in his power to grow the hobby amongst collectors. Fox Sports Cards quickly became the top shop in Southern Illinois. Video box breaks became popular and his pack wars and trade nights grew. Dan has never been afraid to try new things and be innovative in his ideas.

Congratulations to Fox Sports and this honor!!

I am the person holding the Derek Jeter auto in the first picture. I have to admit at that time I was not a sports card collect and my knowledge of anything other than football was beyond horrid. My boyfriend brought me to the store that day to open a tin of origins. We both picked a side and I happened to get the Jeter auto, and my boyfriend starts jumping around all excited and what do I say, “is he any good?” Thats right! Because of Dan and Gina, some of the most wonderful people I know I now am a huge collector of everything, and yes my knowledge of baseball has improved vastly! No other store in the county deserves this anymore than Fox Sports Cards!!!

It is the hard work of Fox family and the great customers that make Fox Sports Cards so fun. It is a great community of sports fans and card addicts!

Dan and Gina rock! Fox Sports Cards Trade Nights are my favorite. Getting together with other collectors, trading, talking, playing pack wars, winning cool stuff, it’s a great time! Upper Deck has sure shown the love at this store! I’ve never been to a place where Cubs fans (which I am) and Cardinals fans can get together and talk sports peacefully. By the way, Corey, that photo of you scares me. Go Cubs!

I am the crazed collector, demonstrating hardcore love for Upper Deck, in the above photo. Allow me to begin by saying; I can’t say enough about how wonderful Fox Sports Cards is! From day one, they have made me feel like family. How many stores make that kind of effort in today’s market, unless you are slinging hundred dollar bills (and yes that was a Goonies reference)? I tell you, little or none! So those of you, who eat, sleep and drink Upper Deck, come and partake of the goblet that is Fox Sports Cards!

I am fortunate enough to have Fox Sports Cards as my local card store. You will not meet two nicer individuals than Dan and Gina Fox. The shop is the nicest one I have ever been in. You have plenty of room to look around the shop and Dan prides himself on having all of the best products available to his collector’s. They are most definitely deserving of this.
