Since the age of 9 Steve Hart has been involved with sportscards in one way or another. His early passion as a collector led him to local card shows and in 1985 he set up at a convention for the first time. Five years later at the age of 20 he opened his retail sportscards store Baseball Card Exchange. Steve's integrity and focus on service helped earn him the status as one of Chicago's premier sportscard dealers. Over the next 15 years his expanding business moved to newer locations each one bigger than the last. In July of this year the Baseball Card Exchange moved to its current location containing more than 8 000 square feet of office and warehouse. Steve's fascination with unopened material started early and he later became one of the foremost authorities on the subject after years of study. Over the last 20 years Steve has examined thousands upon thousands of unopened items. This experience has given him the reputation as one of its top unopened specialists in the hobby. Steve became a father this past summer to his beautiful daughter Maggie! |
