Hub Scheduling Irregularities
======================
Good afternoon everybody!

A couple deviations from our regularly-scheduled Hub retail hours:

Tuesday 6/9
==========
OPEN 4:00 - 8:00 pm - NO TRADES until 6:00

Thursday 6/11
===========
CLOSED

Saturday 6/13
===========
CLOSED

Sunday 6/14
==========
OPEN 10:00 - 3:00

Because of these irregularities, we've decided to bump the next Energy Break stream. Watch for more details on that later in the week, or in Suday's post.

Also, as we get into summer, we're considering tweaking our hours a little bit. Leave a comment on what you'd like to see for Hub-open hours. We'll see what we can put together!

See you later tonight, or Sunday when I'm back from my adventure.

Top Pull Giveaway UPDATE (Sun 6/7 @ noon)
==================================
The harvest is in!!! Freshly sourced Ascended packs are here, and ready to rip! There HAS to be a Gengar or Tree-kachu in there, right??

Josiah has thrown down the gauntlet again by pulling the Ascended Dragonite SIR in-store yesterday (out of a different batch of packs, so don’t worry - still bangers in these! 😏) Come on in to The Hub this afternoon, and throw your pack-ripping hat in the ring to win:

Chaos Rising ETB
$50 Hub gift card

You know the drill - Come in and rip some packs at the Hub, and make a play for the top pull! All Hub-bought products are eligible for the contest, and the most valuable pull by the end of the day on Sunday will be the winner. Good Luck!

The Collectors’ Hub is located at W208N16908 N Center St in Jackson, WI
(We’re happy to ship most items if you’re not local.)

** WE’RE ALWAYS BUYING COLLECTIONS **

Send us some pics, or bring in your duplicates, big pulls you’d like to cash out on, sealed product, or your whole collection(!) and we’ll be happy to give you an offer for Hub Store Credit, or a cash buyout offer.

We survived our first-ever live stream event Thursday! Thanks to every one who participated in the Energy Break, and to those of you who popped in on-stream to check it out (or to listen to how horrid my voice sounds on video! 🙂 ) Stay tuned for details about our next Break!

Top Pull Giveaway
=============
Come on in to The Hub this weekend, and throw your pack-ripping hat in the ring to win. No pressure to "everybody else", but I believe Josiah has won the LAST THREE WEEKENDS of Top Pull Giveaways (not that he's gloating, but...) Time for all y'all to up your game!

I believe I’ve fixed the “forced to buy shipping” issue with the payment links. If you tried checking out the links or the QR codes for the Energy Breaks, and it was forcing you to enter your shipping address, try again.

Setting up shipping has been one of the frustrsting parts of getting the Hub online store fully up and running. But only so many kinks can be ironed out at a time!

Thanks!

Collectors' Hub Energy Breaks (6/4/26)
==============================
Here we go!!! Let's have some fun ripping some Pokemon packs on stream!

Since launching the Collectors' Hub, I've been looking for ways to create a fun and participatory community at The Hub, not just a specialty retail store. Activities like our weekly Top Pull Giveaways, our Open Trade and Play nights, and our Mystery Envelope games, provide a way to enjoy some games of chance, and embrace some friendly competition and camaraderie at the same time.

Enter the Energy Break...
===================
Many of you are familiar with, or have even participated in on-stream pack openings and "breaks". For those of you who have not, I recorded a brief video explaining what an Energy Break is, and how they'll work at The Hub. Be sure to check out that video to learn more!

On-Stream Breaks for Thursday 6/4, starting at 6:00 pm
==========================================

Break A - 36 packs of Chaos Rising
- 8 spots available, $55 per spot

https://square.link/u/tKu1vqhz



Break B - 40 packs of Destined Rivals & 20 packs of Journey Together
- 8 spots available, $70 per spot

https://square.link/u/KDW0dLkm



Break C - 36 packs of Ascended Heroes
8 spots available, $95 per spot
