Hobby Card Shop

Hobby Card Shop is a trading card store at 1209 Main St, Suite 112, in Jupiter, Florida, built mostly around sports cards and Pokémon. It runs as a retail shop with a strong buying side: the store takes in single cards every day and also sells online. It suits collectors who want to pick through boxes and singles in person, and anyone with a stack of cards to have looked over.

What's on the shelves

Sports cards are the core of the stock, with Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Soccer, Racing and UFC, MMA and Wrestling all carried, plus multi-sport and other sports products. Within each major sport the store separates hobby boxes from retail boxes, and it also carries hangers and blasters, raw and graded singles, and supplies. Pokémon is stocked alongside, and the store carries a smaller range of other trading cards, including Garbage Pail Kids, Star Wars, and Marvel and DC.

The difference between the two box types is worth knowing before you shop. Retail boxes are the kind found at big-box retailers, priced lower and with no assured hits. Hobby boxes are more expensive, exclusive products that typically include hits such as numbered, relic or autograph cards in every box.

Supplies include card sleeves, top loaders and magnetic one-touch holders. The store is partnered with Zion Cases and sells its card storage and travel cases, which are aimed at trade nights, shows and flying to events. Memorabilia is not a growth area, since the store is not expanding that inventory at this time.

Selling your cards

Buying is a daily operation. The store buys single cards, graded and ungraded, at up to 80% of comps. Condition matters, and the cards have to be items the store's customers want. For sports cards the store prefers numbered, relic and autograph cards and other unique pieces. For other trading cards the same logic applies, with a preference for unique cards. Sellers bring their cards into the shop to have them evaluated in person.
