Rizo Sports & TCG

Inside Riverside's Tyler Mall, Rizo Sports brings three decades of the hobby — sports cards, Pokemon, sealed wax, and memorabilia under one easy-to-find roof.

Tucked into the Tyler Mall (Galleria at Tyler) on Tyler Street, Rizo Sports & TCG carries more than thirty years of hobby experience into a bright, walk-up storefront. It is a convenient introduction to the Riverside card shop world: park once at the mall, and you have access to cases of sports singles, sealed boxes, Pokemon product, and a rotating wall of memorabilia.

The sports side covers the big three — baseball, basketball, and football — with packs to rip, singles to chase, and slabs for collectors who care about grades. Pokemon sits right alongside for crossover shoppers and families, so a quick mall trip can cover both a graded rookie and a booster bundle. The staff, names like Charlie among the regulars' favorites, are quick with a friendly answer and willing to talk through a buy, sell, or trade.

Box breaks and showcase cases give the spot some event energy, and because it sits inside a major shopping center, it draws plenty of curious first-timers alongside dedicated collectors. That foot traffic keeps inventory turning and makes it worth checking back for new arrivals.

Hours follow a steady retail rhythm: 11am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 6pm on Sunday, matching the mall's schedule. Weekday afternoons are calm for browsing; weekends bring the crowds. If you are collecting sports cards in Riverside and want a no-fuss, centrally located stop, Rizo's Tyler Mall location is an easy yes.
