I recently visited this shop with my child after discovering them on Instagram, and we were excited to check it out. Overall, the experience was good, but there were a few things that kept it from being great. We browsed for nearly 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us (not even a welcome when we walked in), which was a little disappointing. As newer collectors, a simple greeting or a bit of guidance would have really helped, especially in a shop with so many boxes of cards to go through. That said, there are a lot of positives. The store is clean, well organized, and offers an impressive selection across sports, Pokémon, and several other categories. Their prices were very fair (definitely more reasonable than some other shops we've visited) which we really appreciated. While the lack of customer engagement made the visit feel a bit underwhelming, the quality of the shop itself is strong enough that I can see myself returning. I'm hopeful that next time we're greeted a bit more warmly, because this place truly has great potential. read more

Best spot for cards in Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa! The shop is small in stature but big in product! I have now been twice. They have all the big brands, sports and TGC cards, and everything they get on release day. Best of all, unlike a lot of shops or online breaks, they don't jack up the prices. I love that you can break there and they offer anything you need, sleeves, top loaders ETC. I havent done a live break with them yet, but I have watched a few. They break on Loupe for now, but would be nice to see them on some other platforms. Around Christmas, I got my sons the Topps Christmas box and it was a huge hit. I recently spent big on a $250+ box of Topps Finest and hit some absolute monsters, Including a /99 Corbin Carroll refractor auto! There were 2 boxes left and another customer suggested which box to pick, the guys working there said trust her she seems to have a 6th sense... SHE WAS NOT WRONG! read more

Papajay Cards - Pulling some bangers at PapaJays! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

When I walked in, there was way too many people inside for the small room that they had. They had a gigantic selection of cards on the wall, though. The service on the other hand, could have improved, as I didn't receive any help until I was checking out. As for the value, I have seen much better, from a store in Belmont was selling each individual pack for $4 less than this store. read more

Great local card shop. They have the best selection of sports cards in town. His prices are also very inline with the market. I've sold him stuff as well and he pays fair prices. He obviously isn't going to pay full eBay comps as he has to make money but very fair. Offers free sleeves and top loaders if you rip product in store. read more

I dropped in to see about selling my dad's baseball cards from the 50s. I never got the name of the guy who helped me, but he was very professional, fair and forthcoming with information. He looked up every single card in that collection to make sure that I was getting the correct price instead of offering a blanket amount for all of the cards. We're talking hundreds of cards. I feel like I got a fair deal and highly recommend them to anybody looking to sell or buy. They were quite busy the whole time that I was in there with people looking through Pokémon collections. read more

Pulled a DOUBLE rare banger in (1) booster pack and pideot is ranked 5th in obsidian flame set (special illustration rare). I've only seen this in videos and never thought I'd experience it myself. The gentlemen that helped me was super knowledgeable and patient by answering all my questions. He allowed me to pick my boosters and no one has ever let me pick my packs before. I recommend this place to everyone. Super RAD joint, small mom and pops store feel. Thank yall so much! I will be returning. read more

Fantastic selection of sports cards in a nice location ! Was here a few weeks ago and bought a few packs and box as well. The owner was nice enough to include some freebies for me including some free sleeves. Jay was very knowledgeable and friendly as well! If you need some of your nice cards to get graded - apparently they can do that as well with PSA. read more

Took my 6 year old in today for some new Pokémon cards. As we were walking out to the car the owner ran out to give us a free little package with some more pokemon and Baseball cards. He had no idea but my son was having a tough day and had just gotten some of his cards stolen at summer camp. When we got home he said his bad day turned into one of the best ever. Highly recommend Papajay's! Amazing service and great selection! read more

Cool little shop. Really close to the house. My son and I like coming here for Pokémon booster packs. Super friendly. Sometimes they even throw in an extra pack or two for free when we've purchased a good amount of packs. read more

Every box is a huge markup! Definitely not worth it to cover some small shop's overhead. Shop on Ebay if you want more of a deal! Whatever you do don't try to sell them cards. They will lowball you beyond what a comp is on ebay! read more

I'm a new and now frequent customer. What a great selection of sports cards as well as Pokémon and others. The owner is a stand up guy! My son and I will continue to return to this Hobby Shop! read more
