Sports wax and Pokemon under one roof on 185th Ave, with trade nights, showcase slabs, and PSA drop-off events that pull collectors from across Hillsboro.
Ask a Washington County collector where they crack wax and 185th Avenue comes up fast. 1 Stop Card Shop opened in August 2021 and has spent the years since building one of the deepest sports inventories on the west side of the metro — modern hobby boxes stacked behind the counter, vintage singles in the cases, and a graded wall that turns over constantly as regulars trade in and out.
The floor is split roughly down the middle. Sports takes the larger share: baseball, football, and basketball sealed product from current-year releases back through the junk-wax era, plus loose vintage that rewards a slow flip through the boxes. The other half handles Pokemon and Magic, which is why parents and kids show up on the same afternoon as a guy hunting a 1970s rookie. Supplies, sleeves, and toploaders sit near the register so nobody leaves with a hit riding loose in a pocket.
What separates this Hillsboro card shop from a straight retail counter is the event calendar. Trade nights run regularly and stay friendly rather than cutthroat, and the shop has hosted a PSA drop-off day — May 9, 2026 was the most recent — where collectors submitted anything from a single card to an entire collection to graders on site without mailing a thing. That kind of access is rare outside downtown Portland.
Hours are simple and generous: 10AM to 6PM, seven days a week, no dark day to plan around. The 4.9 rating across more than 500 Google reviews leans hard on the staff, who get named again and again for greeting people the moment the door opens instead of waiting to see whether you're a buyer. Weekday mornings are quietest if you want case time; weekends fill up with families and trade traffic.
Parking is straightforward in the lot out front, and the location sits close enough to the Willow Creek transit corridor that a MAX-and-walk trip works. Bring anything you want appraised — buying, selling, and trading all happen at the same counter.
