Arizona Trading Cards & Collectibles — Local services in Phoenix

I've collected cards for 34 years and have visited countless card shops. This place can't be compared to any others - a league of it's own. Their selection is awesome, prices reasonable. The owner is super knowledgable. But even better than knowing his stuff, he knows what he doesn't know and is happy to learn new angles and aspects. I can't stand how many card shops will just make up stuff when they dont know a lot about an obscure or niche product, often condescendingly. This place is different. Doing business here feels like doing business in a trusted friends hobby room. Friendly, honest, trustworthy...

I was in showing off a few rare cards I had and when I was driving home I realized I didnt have them with me. I had left them at the store and had a panic moment. I called the store and he had had them set aside for me already. The shop is so trustworthy that I didnt even feel the need to return immediately. He held them for me until I could return later in the week.

A+ for the card business fundamentals A+ for integrity, honesty, attitude & service A+ overall.

Best card shop in...

They have some cool collectibles and a wide selection of older cards, whether it's sports or game cards like Magic and Pokémon. Their actuall football card collection was extremely limited. The young man who helped me wasn't very informative or helpful, just kinda stood there and made me look at boxes from a distance without telling me what was even available in their wall of stacked old boxes. My daughter also got some sort of crazy allergic reaction to something she came in contact with on her arms. It cleared up a few hours after we left, but we were worried at first. My wife also said it smelled like mildew in there. I couldn't tell cause I was drinking some strong coffee and that's all I could smell. But she actually turned around and left almost immediately. I hate to sound like I'm dumping on the place cause I found a few cool items there to come home with. But hopefully they take the feedback well and get a little bit more organized cause the place is a decent spot, depending on what you're...

I've sold pokemon cards 3 times now at this business. The first 2 times I went in were legit. I handed over the cards while the employees looked them up as I browsed the store. I got the money I wanted and went about my business. But today was different. For starters the employee who looked at my cards didn't even look up the prices of the cards this time. He threw them in a big pile and proceeded to tell me there wasn't much value in any of the cards. And that's when I corrected him telling him there was an alt art sylveon v in the stack currently valued at $70 bucks upgraded on tcg. He then decided to look up the value of the card. But didn't look up the value of the few other cards I knew were being sold for over ten bucks. Overall my 3rd visit was a bit weird compared to the first 2. I feel like I was being rushed and feel as though they weren't taking me very serious when it came to...
