Sneakouts

Gravesend collectibles shop pairing binders and showcases of Pokemon singles with baseball cards, One Piece, Lorcana and in-store raffles in Brooklyn.

Sneakouts packs a lot into one storefront on lower Bath Avenue. Card binders and a glass showcase share the floor with figures, Funko Pops and even skateboards. Owner Lou and his staff, George among them, come up in review after review for being patient with newcomers and regulars who stop in every week.

Pokemon is the main draw. Collectors describe several binders of Pokemon singles plus a showcase of higher-end pulls, along with sealed sets that are hard to find elsewhere, so anyone hunting Pokemon cards in Brooklyn should put it on the list. One Piece and Lorcana sit alongside, and the sports side covers both new releases and older baseball cards, a rarer mix for a Brooklyn card shop that leans TCG.

Prices are generally described as fair, and regulars stop in weekly to see what new sets or singles have landed. Collectors who make long trips say the owner's knowledge and the depth of the binders are worth the travel, and one visitor said a two-hour trip turned them into a regular. If you're checking for a particular chase card, calling first is the easiest way to confirm before you head over.

The shop also runs raffles for cards and collectibles. They give regulars a reason to keep checking the shop's socials, and the regulars are a mix of seasoned collectors and parents shopping with kids.

The space is compact, and one reviewer warns it feels cramped and slow at busy times. To browse binders without a crowd, go on a weekday afternoon. Hours run 11AM to 6:30PM Monday through Saturday and noon to 5PM on Sunday. Calling ahead about a specific card works well, and staff will tell you whether it's in stock.

Sneakouts is on Bath Avenue in Gravesend, an easy pairing with the other card stops along the Bath Avenue corridor.
