Battlegrounds Games & Comics

by Michael Gunter

The trading card industry is booming!

Trading cards have been fetching millions at auction. This January, a 1952 Mickey Mantle Rookie Card PSA 9 sold for a record 5.4 MILLION dollars! After the baseball card market crash of the ’90s, it is surprising that, during a global pandemic, collecting cards would become so popular again, but collecting cards is back and as popular as ever.

Nearly 10 years ago, the owners of the Battlegrounds Games & Comics, Michael Gunter and Jason Mathis, had visions of providing Northwest Georgia with an incredible collectibles store. From cards and comics to video games, the Battlegrounds is the place to go in order to go to satisfy your inner geek.
