Collectors filled the Hartford ballpark Sunday to buy, sell and trade everything from sports cards to Pokémon cards while sharing a hobby that spans generations.

The Yard Goats may have been on the road Sunday but there were still plenty of sports fans at Dunkin’ Park.

The ballpark hosted the GOAT Card Show for a second year, bringing collectors together over binders and boxes filled with baseball, football, basketball, Pokémon and other trading cards.

For organizer Scott Greene, collecting is a hobby that goes back to his childhood and his relationship with his father.

“Growing up, I started collecting baseball cards when I was a seven-year-old kid, and it was because my dad loved baseball,” Greene said. “We’d get a pack every week and I’ve been collecting for over 45 years since then.”

Decades later, Greene is helping other families make some of those same memories.

“You will see a lot of families, dads with their sons, moms bring their daughters, grandparents walking around with younger families,” Greene said.

Throughout the event, collectors searched through everything from holographic cards to rare one-of-one cards and superfractors.

Sports cards, however, were only part of the show.

Pokémon collectors Victor Juarez and Jon Gentino were among those set up at Dunkin’ Park, and despite the different corners of the collecting world represented Sunday, they said there is no serious rivalry between them.

People outside the hobby might ask what the difference is between collecting Pokémon cards and sports cards.

“Sports cards. There’s a lot of volatility because players can do good or bad week to week, and they can get in trouble outside of their sports,” Juarez and Gentino said. “You know the Pokemon, but what do they say? Charizard will never break his ACL.”

While many of Sunday’s attendees were adults, Juarez and Gentino said younger collectors are an important part of keeping the hobby going for another generation.

“It’s to our benefit to help the kids because of their fascination with this hobby,” they said. “It’s going to affect our investments when they are older.”

ANDOVER, Conn. (WFSB) – Isolated storms across Connecticut Saturday night are causing damage, including a downed tree and wires in Andover.
