DNA Cards & Collectibles

Sports-card-forward Peoria shop on Paradise Lane loaded with baseball, basketball and football wax, plus Pokemon, group breaks and BBB-accredited service.

DNA Cards & Collectibles brought its sports-card expertise to a Paradise Lane storefront in Peoria, and the focus is clear the moment you walk in: row after row of baseball, basketball and football — singles, slabs and sealed boxes from the major manufacturers. For the sports-first collector, this is the anchor stop on the northwest side.

Pokemon holds down a solid corner too, so families and TCG players are not an afterthought, but the heart of the inventory is the sportscard side and the group and case breaks the shop runs. Breaks are a big part of the culture here, with regulars buying into spots and pulling alongside the staff — a social, high-energy way to chase hits that has built a loyal following.

The business is BBB accredited, which is rare enough in the hobby to be worth mentioning, and reviewers consistently call out the welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable, no-pressure help. Whether you are valuing a card you brought in or deciding which box to crack, the staff are described as genuinely informative rather than pushy.

Hours cover most of the week: 11AM to 7PM Monday through Friday, with longer weekend windows of 10AM to 7PM Saturday and 10AM to 6PM Sunday. The shop sits in a Peoria plaza with easy parking. Call 602-767-1633 to ask about upcoming break schedules or to confirm current sportscard inventory before you drive over, since boxes move fast around release weeks.
