Champion Sportscards & Collectibles — Local services in Marietta

The best shop in the south much less Atlanta...I see some reviews that bring up the shop's higher prices than online stores; that is because it is a retail environment and one in which every case and box and pack of cards has not been gone through previously!!!....most online stores, and even retail stores, get the "best card hits" by using a scale or x-ray device and weighing cases, boxes, & even packs, to single out which of them have the best cards inside...with higher end product brands they have countered that ability to commit this kind of long standing fraud...although with 60-70% of card products the technique mentioned above can still used.....Champion Sports Cards MOST CERTAINLY do NOT as I have pulled more 1/1 printing plates/White Whales/buybacks & other amazing cards from their store than from any other retailer, online store, and even with cherry picked product review boxes sent by manufacturers like Topps & Panini. I have been going to the store since 2007 and have never had a problem....and if the $ is still a problem for you then take cash as that will reduce the tax costs and save ya more money. But there is overhead operational costs associated with retail locations as well as the fact that the owner has stayed legit and true to the hobby by not ruining it like most online retailers do by going through your products before they ship it out for "free" and $50 less....gee I wonder why they do that? lololol.....Go to this store it is great!!!! - U-Porium...

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. I met the owner Ross and he took his time showing us around. My boys asked a lot of questions and wanted to look at different cards inside the counter. Ross, Joe and Craig had no problem accommodating their request. The store was very well organized and that was greatly appreciated. Most of the shops we visit are not even close in comparison.

I’ve been collecting and dealing cards for over thirty years so, I asked prices on some of the higher end cards/boxes. I found that their prices are at current market values. Due to the fluctuations of the card market many cards inside the counter are checked and compared to recent sales online to get a price. My boys and I found some great deals. We had a wonderful time and will now be making this shop a regular place to visit for us!

Thanks Ross and team for making this a great experience for me and my boys! You all brought back some fond memories and helped to add another generation...

I collected cards as a kid and just now getting back into as an adult. 1ST i asked a value on a autographed card I had and i was told "no clue" from the guy working the counter.Then the same guy snatched a pack of cards out of my hand and told me to have a good day. I was Simply trying to figure out how many cards came per pack , get some info off the packs and trying to figure out why 1 pack was $5.00 while the other pack was $50.00.he said I was comparing the "thickness" snatched them out my hand and began shuffling the packs. i was baffled and simply left. Ive found that DUCKS DUGOUT is right down the street and has a far nicer and MUCH LARGER store with a friendly staff that's willing to share knowledge and teach newbies like me. Also the same pack of cards was far cheaper at DUCKS. I'll never step foot in 'champions" again If I could leave zero...
