Holy wow this place is PACKED. My fiancé and I stopped in not too long ago and were completely unprepared for the sheer amount of cards and merch in store. Sports, Pokémon, One Piece, and more, it was overwhelming. The guys at the shop were stationed at convenient points through the store so you wouldn't have to look too far for assistance and were cool enough help my fiancé look through things to see if they could find cards of his pro-hockey player uncle. 10/10 recommend this card shop. You could easily spend an afternoon here looking through all the cool stuff. read more

I can literally show you receipts totaling over 32k in your store over the last 12 months. It goes to show how you know your customers. I spent over 12k in just one weekend. I literally showed you comp prices on eBay. Which also shows on card ladder for this box selling for 199 the same week of your $599 BEST OFFER price. This is not a $600 box. Period. Again, no reason for me to lie here. I back my statements up with proof. This wasn't a pricing error on one box. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. 6 boxes were the front table with a big blue sign that said $199. In addition, all of the boxes on the table and remaining boxes on the shelf were all individually priced as $199. The big blue sign was indeed as INDOOR ADVERTISEMENT. All you want to concentrate on is me raising my voice and not the real issue here. read more

Great selection but definitely not the best prices in town. Staff is fairly nice, especially the guy who runs the basketball card area. The owner is really nice and you can sometimes ask for better pricing on certain higher-priced items. Solid place for sports cards for sure. read more

Pretty expensive stuff and that's all I need to stay. However it does have alot to offer just pretty much everything is expensive there.

Great setup of store and friendly associates. Their selection is amazing. I was a previous sports card collector and coming into the store made me ready to get back into it. read more

I have never been in a card shop with such a big selection. Wow! If you collect cards of any kind or any sport memorabilia this is the place to visit. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. There is also something for every price range and level of collector. read more

I dont even have to write a long review here. Charlie and his staff are legends. Make the drive, and see this shop with the largest selection I have EVER seen in side a card shop. Great prices, fun atmosphere, I will be back time and time again. 100% recommend read more

I stumbled across this hidden gem in San Antonio. Thank goodness for their street sign. When I first walked in I was overwhelmed in a good way at the vast selection of sports memorabilia storage options. I managed to pick up several storage, cases , plastic holders for my collection. This is a great spot since you cannot tell the size online. Jeff was awesome in helping find collectible items Toward the back of the store you can see a huge collection of signed memorabilia. Even for a visit yo see their awesome collection is worth it read more

If you're looking to get into card collecting, this is a great spot to check out. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about a variety of different sports and speciality cards - Pokémon, Marvel, etc. Be warned that card collecting can become a fun and expensive hobby because of the hunt, yet this crew a can help guide you in the direction you're wanting to head. The store is packed with packs of boxes, and if you look around long enough, you might find something that catches your interest. I'm more familiar with the baseball legends, and then 80s to 90s football players, and 90s to 00s basketball players. You can find all of it along with many other collectibles here. The store has an organized chaos feel to it, so take some time to soak it in. read more

Sports Card Plus - We found a Pikachu Halloween card! My kid is so excited! - Hobby Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Definitely the widest variety of cards in San Antonio, but the prices are pretty stout on most singles. The guys in there were very attentive. Definitely worth looking around. read more

We were visiting from AZ. When we visit places we like to check out the local card shops we visited three shops on this trip to San Antonio and this shop was by far the friendliest and best priced. We actually enjoyed it so much that we went twice during this visit. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions or just talk with you. On our second visit my son was lucky and pulled a SHOHEI OHTANI BLACK ECLIPSE AUTOGRAPH card after buying only one pack of the Topps Cosmic Chrome cards. We didn't know it but the store was running a contest for anyone who pulled an Ohtani auto. They were honest and told us about it and gave my son the prize. Even without the exciting pull and contest I would highly recommend this shop! read more

When I travel, I try to stop at card shops to see what I can find. The trips have mostly been duds. Either pricing for the new stuff is way over what I would pay at my local card store or pricing for older stuff didn't match current comps (this happened at another San Antonio shop where a card comped at $12/13 but they wanted $45 for it). Walking in, this place looks like every other card shop I've been to. This is a large shop that had stuff EVERYWHERE. Walls of new boxes/packs, display cases filled with hits. Lots of signed memorabilia. Their pricing for unopened packs and boxes was fair market so that gave me hope. I asked the guy behind the register for help in locating Bo Jackson cards. He pointed me to another guy. I called my husband to see what cards he was missing. Dude was super patient as I was flipping through card by card. While the clerk was getting pricing together, my husband was worried they were going to tack on the pink tax. He shared what comps were so I had a figure in mind. NOT THE CASE HERE! The pricing was very fair and within range of what he wanted to spend. I left with my treasures and a very positive experience. read more

Awesome deals on sports card - amazing selection. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you are in the area you should definitely stop in! read more

Love this card shop great selection... now with that being said the older gentleman in the shop just stank eyes me and makes me feel like I'm stealing I've asked for help and he has told me "what I have in the case is what I have" didn't move... offers me the least amount of help... mind you I've been in over 5x spent hundreds in this store. His son on the other hand has been very helpful very respectful and probably the only reason why I still come to this place. As I'm writing this I wave to the older gentleman and smile and he just stares at me read more

Went in today as a Mom seeking a Christmas gift. The man was so helpful and patient. We found a great gift for my baseball loving son. Thank you!! read more

Charlie is the absolute best, as are all his staff. I went to this store for my first time with my husband about 3 months ago, and fell in love. Hands down best card store in San Antonio. They have the best hobby boxes and Charlie is so patient and knowledgeable, as we are so indecisive. Had a blast opening our chronicles hobby boxes yesterday, and having his staff give us knowledge on our pulls/ prices. Love Charlie! We will be back to continue to support his business. read more

Really good place good variety it's all around a really good place but there's one glaring horrible issue the prices

Nasty, crooked staff. Won't honor prices they've given you over the phone less than 24 hours ago. Blames the "volatile market" but really, it's straight up lying. Rude old man acts like he's doing you a favor when he knocks off a couple bucks (when he told you over the phone the price was like $50 lower) Do not support this type of business, it has no place in the hobby. Owner says it was a five day gap between when he gave prices over the phone and when I came to the store. I called THE DAY BEFORE y'all had your "re-opening" for Covid. I came by THE VERY NEXT DAY and you wouldn't honor your prices from LESS THAN 24 HOUR BEFORE. Hope that clears it up for you. OWNER KEEPS CHANGING HIS RESPONSE AFTER I DISPROVE HIS EXCUSES SO I'M DONE UPDATING/RESPONDING. read more

Just moved to the area and wanted to check out the store. Prices are at eBay prices or higher even though they save on fees selling in person, but still decided to shop. Found a card that was reasonably priced at $99. Associate gave me the line "this was priced awhile ago so I have to check updated value". Associat continued to search online for recent sell for more than 20 minutes. Found a sale a month ago for $140. But decided that was not good enough. Found a different version of the card that sold for $200. And used that as excuse to double the price. Complete rip off. What's the purpose of putting prices if you are going to jack up the price at the register. Loss my business for good. read more

Me and my dad love to go there and get baseball cards and Pokémon cards and it is a amazing place but there is one thing you could fix. The Pokémon booster boxes are too high priced. You have them at a $110. I've seen them priced at 80-90 dollars on Amazon and EBay. read more

Good selection and good staff. A little pricey, but good deals. Some Pokémon items that I needed for my collection. Very good:)

I just wanted to say i enjoyed this store..I dont know much about cards but i am into memorabilia. I must say they have a large selection of autographs from football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer and even olympic memorabilia. Everything is nice and displayed great.. I really know literally nothing about cards but the csr Christy gave me a crash course on them and was very imformative and polite , answering all my questions...I highly recommended this store for all your card and memorabilia needs..I will be returning read more

Majority of products are over priced. Better off shopping on eBay for boxes, singles, etc.

Oops Wrong shop! These guy didn't scare me, it's someone else using there name. The same shop in NY are scammers. read more

Really great local card shop. I honestly don't know if there are any others in San Antonio as this is the one I have been going to since moving here 11 years ago. They have a great selection of supplies. For those who prefer the new stuff (I do not) they have PLENTY of that but they also have a very nice selection of older and even vintage stuff. In an era of lots of internet card buying where sometimes you get bad cards that can't be returned it is nice to be able to fully look over your cards before you buy. The prices are very reasonable and the owner very knowledgeable and willing to deal when appropriate. read more

For over 20 years I've been coming to Sports Card Plus. I learned about collecting from there as a kid and the owner's joy and respect for his costumers has me continuing to go there every time I visit home. He truly wants costumers to have the best memorabilia possible and does a great job of educating and exciting people on products that are available. read more

Wow.. bring back memories as a kid. They have all sports stuff and movie them cards. Autograph baseballs, and vintage baseball cards. They have cases of the new unwrapped cards. I come from the other side of town, for my one stop shop for the hard plastics. The owner and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Good store. Friendly staff. Fair prices. They will make you an offer on what they like. They tell you like it is. No nonsense. I took in a full collection of baseball cards and they were not interested in most of my collection. They liked my Mickey Mantle cards and my Michael Jordan Rookie card. Not much else. But they offered a fair deal which I passed on. My decision. Owner and family operated. They have been around for almost 30 years. Straight shooters. read more

Best card shop I've visited in 21 years of collecting. Charlie, the owner, is friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. He always has great promotions and awesome pricing on all the most desired sets in the hobby. They have an enormous selection of individual cards, single packs and hobby boxes. Both vintage and new sets/singles are available. It seems like basketball and football cards are the most popular and the selection for those is huge, but as a baseball collector, I am grateful by their equally massive collection of the less demanded MLB product. So regardless of your sports card collecting fix, they have what you are looking for. One thing I really like about S.C.P. is that they are willing to trade and/or buy cards from you. It's cool to know there are still places that will negotiate and make card for card trades. I've also heard that if you get a valuable pull and want to sell, they will help you move it online. I enjoy collecting so I typically try to hold on to my big hits, but it's another example of how helpful they are. It's exactly the kind of environment you look for in a hobby shop. People breaking boxes, showing off their hits and friendly hobby/ sports talk. Jeff, one of the employees, is especially amicable and easy to talk to. Several times, I've gone in just looking to get some top-loaders or a couple of packs and spent over an hour chatting with him. He has a good sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the hobby and sports in general. If you are a collector or even just a fan of sports, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. I'd suggest Saturday afternoon. The last couple of times I've visited, there have been big spenders breaking box after box of the high end sets and it's fun seeing all the big hits they pull. If you haven't seen the new makeover, the place looks terrific. Ditch the wife for an afternoon and checkout some cardboard, you'll enjoy it. read more

An absolutely amazing card shop. Quite possibly the best one I've ever been to. The selection is outstanding. Memorabilia, new cards, old cards, vintage, you name it, it's here. And the prices are also among the best I've seen. Generally, when you go to a shop like this, you pay a bit more, and you know you're paying extra to break a box immediately. Not so much with Sports Card Plus. The pricing is very comparable to internet pricing, so you don't have shell out a boatload. The owner and staff are quite friendly as well. Good, knowledgeable folks, and they take care of their customers. If you're breaking packs or boxes, soft sleeves and top loaders are on the house. Again, this place is easily among the best I've ever seen. Don't hesitate to check it out. read more

The best hobby store on the planet! Charlie and Jeff are experts and very welcoming, but at the same time will not hover over the customer. There is not a shop with a better selection that I've seen to date. Prices are kept as low as possible and are ofter times lower than internet prices. This shop has stood the test of time for a reason. If you are a collector or just love sports, this must be on your bucket list!!! There is something for everyone here. People who say Charlie is not welcoming or friendly are simply wrong and have him misunderstood. He is one of the most genuine, kind people I've ever come across in and out of the hobby. read more

This is one of the best local card shops in the United States of America. A great owner in Charlie DiPietro, and he will always make it worth your while to stop by and rip some wax. Charlie matches internet prices, runs constant contests and specials, and is always willing to accommodate his customers in any way possible. This is not to mention that he has a product lineup that ranges from early 90's to today, with boxes that you will NEVER find anywhere else. The comprehensiveness of this shop is out of control, and unmatched by any shop I have been to in America. Any problems you may ever encounter, Charlie will help you, or rather walk you through the steps on how to make it right, if he can't make it right for you on the spot. I have been a return customer for years now, and there's nobody else I would rather support than my local LCS. Loyal customers are treated like family, new customers are instantly made to feel welcome, you're never pressured, never rushed, just fantastic service to match fantastic product and pricing. High end, mid end, low end, whatever you want, HUGE singles selection (and I mean largest east or west of the Mississippi), HUNDREDS OF BOXES and MILLIONS of refractors, inserts and commons to complete your sets, stuff for the kids, MASSIVE vintage collection........ladies and fellas, this is what an LCS is all about. read more

Sport Cards Plus keep up your selection and amazing store you guys have. Came in for my last day before my flight and I can honestly say California doesn't have these type of card shops read more

It's a shame that as big as San Antonio is we don't have a decent LCS. I've come here on many occassions but it's mainly to buy supplies, recently I have chose Amazon for my supplies. I am in need of some graded cards and memorabilia but it turns my stomach knowing I have to come to this store. The owner is pretty much in a bad mood 24/7, so spare me the excuses you've given all the other reviews. Any time I would ask him anything he always comes off as me wasting his time, answers my question as if it's the worst thing he has to do on Earth. Then comes the pricing, if you don't have time to change or as you call it "update" the marked prices then don't mark anything! You have given the excuse that prices fluctuate and in some cases you guys give the price lower than ebay etc, I have to call BS! In more times than not the price is always higher. As for the memorabilia, well let's just say it's priced so damn high that it seems as though you want to keep it all for yourself, take it with you in the afterlife; if that's the case call it a museum and not a store. The way I see it is you want to make that sale to the unsuspecting, unknowledgeable person that comes looking for a gift for someone and thinking their getting a great deal. Spare me the decades of experience, I've been doing this for longer than you guys have, and I know the true pricing on items. Just about all of your bad reviews get the same lame excuses and replies" " Well you must have come on a Saturday when we are busy (or holiday), or well then why did we win the Hobby Shop Makeover 6 YEARS AGO!!!"....totally irrelevent to the subject of the reviews. Most of the replies don't even answer the review that is left by a customer, and BTW that guy never said your sons left them their numbers, he said the customers out side left them their numbers. Another thing the atmosphere is never cheery or fun, it's always gloomy and dull. I had been coming to this store when the sports side was just an idea to add onto the trinkets and ornamental stuff you used to sell, then you got rid of all that and went straight sports card store, even back then you were in a bad mood, Charlie. It's so sad that this is what we have to resort to when wanting to go to a sports card store. This store could be epic but I think in order for that to happen it would need new management. read more

Charlie is a great guy and has always been fair. Every time I have gone in there I have walked out happy. Probably one of the best sports card shops I've ever been to. I highly recommend this place if you are a sports collector. read more

This is the best card shop I've been in ever! Tons of products, very knowledgeable and great atmosphere.

The owner, Charlie, knows his product an has phenomenal prices. My kids and I are collectors and he welcomes them in his store! read more

Sports Card Plus - Hobby Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have been to Sports Cards Plus four times now and every single time I have walked in there, whether alone or with my wife, Charlie has given me the stink eye and has not greeted me once. His kid (at least I'm pretty sure it's his kid) is willing to chat and help me with questions. I'm amazed at the previous reviews regarding Charlie's warmth, because I have experienced completely the opposite. I have money, but I don't spend it on grumps who won't talk to me. read more

Awesome experience and the drive was worth it. There is a lot to pick from and I felt like a little kid in a candy shop. If you are a card collector or getting into card collecting. Then it's a must stop. Also they beat EVERYONES price. read more

I am in town visiting my family, and I finally decided to stop by the store while my wife and sister shopped at North Star. What a pleasant surprise. The selection is the best I have seen at any card store. I have wandered around the DFW Metroplex and this shop is by far the best. The employee and owner were friendly and helpful. The prices were competitive with internet prices which was very surprising. Needless to say I will be stopping by the next time I am town. Definitely a great sports card store. read more
