The owner of Tons of Toys in Madison says he is seeing a higher demand for sports trading cards, and that he's having trouble keeping them in stock.

Owner Chris Brinkofski says when the pandemic began and everyone was stuck inside, people began collecting cards again.

"We keep them in stock all year, we've always kept them in stock, just right now it's a craze," he says.

Because of the sport's popularity, football cards, and specific basketball player cards are harder to get.

Brinkofski says specialty cards cost even more than baseball cards which are more readily available.
