Sawyer's Sports Cards — Local services in West Boylston

New to the area, brought in a tin full of hockey inserts and asked whoever was working behind the counter to give them away to young kids or local sports teams who showed interest. Maybe two minutes later he proceeds to sell the entire tin to someone for $10. Your shop, your rules, fair enough. The employee then headed to the back of the shop and played what sounded like Call of Duty while I stood in the store alone for approximately forty minutes or so sorting through cards, no conversation, nothing.

Eventually an older gentleman entered the store, which has an audible bell, and stood around for a few moments before asking me if I worked there. I said I didn't and after a moment the employee came out from the back and very kindly answered his questions. Only to go right back to playing video games in a back room.

When he did come back out to ring me out, I asked if much hockey product came through the store, and he said no, and nobody brings any in. I don't think he could've been more disinterested. Each shop has it's specialties, which is understandable.

I never leave reviews on places, positive or negative, but that experience was bad enough that I actually had to...

I walked into the store today and saw that they had vintage Pokemon. I was thrilled because I'm trying to collect my favorites. I proceeded to pick up a lot of psyduck cards as he is my favorite Pokemon. I also grabbed a lot of cubone because I wanted to make a full page of him in my binder. I asked the store owner how much is each vintage card and he said I don't know. How about 25 cents each. I grabbed the rest of the cards I wanted it was 30 cards in total he then looked up every single card at the register and told me 20 dollars for the whole lot I was expecting 7 or 8 dollars. Overall a terrible and sketchy business strategy to tell someone a price only to change it at the register. I proceded to look up the card online myself and most of them are going for less than 25 cents each. I would not recommend going to this...

So i wanna start off by saying the pokemon guy was super cool and helpful so thats a plus i guess…and i also am a collector and i know the game…i know its a chase..a game of chance…and nothing is guaranteed…i know im probably gonna get bashed for this review but im ready…i went there a few weeks ago and spent a decent amount on pokemon but mostly sports cards, mainly the mystery packs…i dont know who packs those, but they gotta go…i bought the whole box of nfl mystery packs and about 4-5 NBA packs…nothing…not one hit of any relevance…..the main reason why i bought them because they were reasonably priced…just super super disappointed and let down…you know its bad when even my 6 year old knew we got jack squat and says u got beat….womp womp….atleast throw in a few cheap autos if your not gonna put good...
