1,000,000 Baseball Cards

12/19/2025

This past November marked our 36th year in business. We are one of the oldest brick and mortar baseball card shops in the country. After much thought I’ve decided that we will not renew our lease and close the store the end of February. I’m getting up there in age and would like to do some other things as I grow older. I’ve met a lot of great people over the years and thank you for all your support.

So come on in if your in the neighborhood and say goodbye. I’d love seeing you all again. We have already started marking things down. Right now we still have a pretty good selection of Autograhed items, bobble heads, pictures and of course cards. We especially need to move a lot of our bulk inventory geared for set builders and player collectors so when you stop in let us know what interests you and we’ll try to work something out. We also will be selling our display cases but you won’t be able to pick them up until we close which will be the end of February.

We’re here 11:00 -4:00 week days and 10:00- 4:00 on Saturday . See you soon.

Greetings! Currently, the easiest way to find out if we have a specific card is to visit us on Beckett Marketplace. Our website inventory hasn't been updated recently, but Beckett Marketplace is updated on a weekly basis. Please note that there is a slight lag time in removing a card from Beckett Marketplace if it sells in our store front. We'd also love to show you our collection at our store front on Manchester Road! Thank you for your business!

Welcome to our Store!

Are you looking to get rid of some baseball cards? Here are our guidelines:

We buy individual cards on star players from the Lou Brock, Stan Musial, Bob Gibson generation [1960's]. We also will buy star players from the 1970's if they are in really good condition and we don't already have a bunch of them. Players like Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Thurman Munson, Willie Stargell, etc...Depending on our existing inventory we sometimes buy complete Topps sets issued before 1984 and newer ones issued from 2002 to date. The only newer cards we buy are Rookie Cards and autographed cards on today's hot upcoming stars like Kris Bryant, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge etc. We only by baseball cards, not the other three sports. We don't know anyone that buys 80's or 90's cards. We also buy single signed baseballs and autographed memorabilia on All-Star and Hall of Fame type players. We might be a buyer on unopened wax boxes [junk wax] at $3.00-$7.00 a box. Obviously if you have something good in unopened wax you'll get more. If you have something we need call first to make sure we still need it than you would need to bring it in to sell it. We don't buy cards until we see them first, that means you can't mail or ship them to us and in all likelihood means if you live out of state you won't be able to sell us anything. If you don't know what you have you would need to bring it in for us to evaluate, but be advised 9 out of 10 people who come in without calling first don't end up selling us anything because their cards don't fit our needs. If you don't have anything we need you can always try other shops, take them to card shows, or list them on eBay or Craigslist.

Feel free to gives us a call at 636-527-4424 with any questions!
