Replay Sports Cards

South End's full-service sports card stop — Replay buys, sells, grades, and breaks in Charlotte, with deep sealed wax and slab inventory every day of the week.

Replay Sports Cards sits in a converted storefront on East Park Avenue in Charlotte's South End, a short walk from the light rail and the neighborhood's breweries. The shop opened in 2021 under the name One Stop Sports and grew fast enough that the founders rebranded and turned it into the first sports card shop franchise in the country — but the original Charlotte location is still the flagship, and it still runs like a neighborhood shop.

The inventory leans hard into sports. Sealed boxes from recent Topps, Panini, and Bowman releases fill the shelves, while glass cases hold graded slabs ranging from modern rookies to vintage Hall of Famers. Collectors hunting singles will find binders organized by sport and era, and the buy counter is active all day — Replay pays cash on the spot for collections, from raw stacks to graded vintage. If you're chasing a PSA submission, the staff handles grading intake in-house and can walk you through service levels and turnaround, which makes this one of the easier places in the city to get cards slabbed without shipping them yourself.

Live breaks are a big part of the shop's identity. Replay runs regular box breaks streamed through WhatNot, and the in-store energy on break nights is worth experiencing even if you're just watching. The shop also books private events — birthday parties and group trade nights get the run of the space with staff on hand.

Hours are unusually convenient for a Charlotte card shop: open every single day from 11AM to 6PM, weekends included. That seven-day schedule, plus the South End location, makes Replay the easiest drop-in card stop in the city. If you're comparing Charlotte card shop options for sports cards specifically — sealed wax, slabs, grading, or selling a collection — this is the first door to try.
