Sports Cards and More

North Phoenix newcomer flipping baseball and football singles, Pokemon packs and memorabilia — a small 19th Ave shop built on buy-sell-trade basics.

The 19th Avenue corridor in north Phoenix quietly added another card stop when Sports Cards and More opened its doors at 15414 N 19th Ave, Suite A, up near Greenway Road. It's a compact, newer shop — the kind of place where the person behind the counter is the owner, the cases are curated rather than crammed, and a conversation about last night's game comes free with the browse.

The name describes the split honestly. Sports cards lead: baseball and football singles fill the cases, with sealed product on the shelves behind. The 'more' covers Pokemon packs and product, assorted memorabilia and collectibles that rotate through as collections get bought. As a newer buy-sell-trade operation, the inventory shifts with whatever walks in the door, which makes repeat visits worthwhile — the case you scanned last month won't be the same case today.

Early reviews are strong, averaging 4.4 on Google, though the review base is still small as the shop builds its name. That newness cuts in the customer's favor: pricing stays sharp because the shop is competing for regulars against longer-established Phoenix card shop names, and trade offers get real consideration rather than a reflexive lowball.

Hours run 11AM to 6PM Monday through Friday and 11AM to 5PM Saturday, with Sundays off. Parking is simple in the strip lot out front. If you're already working the 19th Ave circuit — Home Plate Sports Cards sits a couple miles south — this makes a natural second stop, and 480-297-1371 reaches the counter if you want to confirm they'll look at a collection before you load the car. The shop's early trajectory suggests it intends to stick around: steady hours, a growing local following, and the kind of word-of-mouth reputation that small card shops live or die on. For north Phoenix collectors tired of driving across the Valley for a decent case of singles, having another option this close to home is a welcome development.
