A father-and-son counter on Route 33 where Trenton collectors dig through vintage sports singles, current wax and live Whatnot breaks.
TNT Sports Cards & Memorabilia opened in 2023 out of a father-and-son collecting habit that outgrew the kitchen table, and the shop still runs that way — two people behind the counter who know what they bought last week and why. Customers describe them as "a fun duo," and the reviews that mention pricing all land in the same place: fair, and explained.
The mix skews sports-first. Baseball, football, basketball and hockey singles fill the cases, with vintage stock sitting alongside current-year rookies rather than being walled off in a back room. Sealed wax rotates with the release calendar. Memorabilia and autographed pieces round out the wall space. On the TCG side they carry Pokemon plus Dragon Ball Super and Flesh and Blood, which is a narrower lineup than a dedicated game store but enough to cover a casual collector.
Their real event presence is online. TNT runs live breaks on Whatnot under tntsportscards23, so if you cannot make it to Route 33 you can still get into a break. That is worth knowing, because the storefront keeps daytime hours — 10:30AM to 6PM Tuesday through Friday, shorter windows on the weekend, and closed Mondays. Sunday is the shortest day at 10AM to 3PM.
The shop sits on the Route 33 retail corridor with surface parking directly out front, an easy in-and-out compared with a mall shop. It is wheelchair accessible and takes Apple Pay, Google Pay and cards alongside cash. If you are bringing a collection in to sell, call first — with a two-person staff, a heads-up gets you a proper look rather than a rushed one.
For anyone searching for a Trenton card shop that treats sports as the main event rather than an afterthought, this is the one to start with. It is small, it is personal, and it has become a fixture for Mercer County collectors in a short span of time.
