Hobby Shops in Victoria, TX

“This is one of the best hobby lobby stores I've been in, in Texas. They always have items I need or want in stock. The employees are nice. However, If the ladies bathroom was kept stocked with TP and cleaned, I'd give this 5 stars.”

“Two weeks ago I made my first purchase/investment into American Silver Eagles. I'm terrible at saving money and this is my strategy for turning my CASH into an investment I can physically hold and in a TRUE EMERGENCY could use as collateral for a loan OR sell outright within 24 hours. No more impulse shopping at Best Buy. They don't take silver coins if ya wanna buy a new flat-screen TV! LOL My initial visit to the coin shop was not the best. It was clear I was a novice. Even openly admitted that this was my first time BUT I was ready to pull the trigger. After about 10 minutes into chatting with the shop owner, he pulled back the inventory he had out on the table (about 5 rolls of ASEs and some individual GOLD Eagles) and said, "You are not ready." I WAS SHOCKED! He told me I needed to do more research and he wasn't comfortable selling to me. "TAKE MY MONEY!" Man, am I glad that he did that! That night I was all over the Internet clicking, reading and learning all about ASEs. Downloaded several apps to my phone as well. The next day, I revisited his shop and he sold me my first mint roll of 20 ASEs for $420 CASH! Not only was I a more informed buyer/investor, BUT after shopping online and calling a shop in Dallas & Austin, I got the best deal I could find ANYWHERE. Every other broker/seller of mint rolls of ASEs was quoting $450 - $460 + tax + shipping for the roll of 20 ASEs in the U.S. mint tube. My mint tube of twenty 2011 American Silver Eagles was $420 CASH! I was ready to invest AND saved between $50 - $100. SCORE! MORAL OF THE STORY... Learn as much as you can before taking the plunge. Read as many of the guides like the one above. You will feel confident, buy at he right price from the right seller and maybe even prevent some buyer's remorse. HAPPY INVESTING! I'm going to visit Numistrama next week for more American Silver Eagles! :)”
