First Base Cards

Newer Canoga Park sports card and memorabilia shop on Sherman Way with Prizm, Topps Chrome and Pokemon packs and a hands-on owner who explains the hobby.

First Base Cards is one of the newer storefronts on Canoga Park's stretch of Sherman Way. It opened recently enough that early reviewers called it a newly opened shop, and it has quickly picked up a perfect rating from the first wave of customers. The shop leans sports, with trading cards and memorabilia front and center.

Shelves carry current football, baseball and wrestling releases. Reviewers mention Prizm football value packs and Topps Chrome WWE among their pickups. Pokemon is stocked too, and one parent reports a big hit on a first rip of Crown Zenith with their kid. The mix makes it a handy Canoga Park card shop for a household with both sports and Pokemon collectors.

Because the owner is often on the floor himself, the shop feels personal in a way bigger chains don't. Reviewers note his knowledge of both collectibles and everyday packs, and they say first-time hobby buyers and seasoned collectors get the same care. Expect inventory to grow as the store settles in, and follow its website for new arrivals and restocks.

Owner Rashad gets credit in reviews for patience. One shopper buying a gift with no hobby knowledge says he walked them through the inventory and helped them choose. A newer collector says staff explained what they'd pulled. That beginner-friendly approach is the shop's identity so far.

Posted hours are 11AM to 7PM seven days a week. The storefront is on Sherman Way in Canoga Park, with street parking along the corridor. It's close enough to King Fandom and the other West Valley collectible shops to visit several in one trip.

Because the shop is new, inventory and events are still taking shape. Check their website or call ahead about specific products and any break nights.
