Gameday Sportscards

A Boyers Avenue sports-only counter open a three-day, three-and-a-half-hour window — modern wax, vintage and buy/sell for Morgantown collectors who plan ahead.

Gameday Sportscards runs the narrowest schedule of any card shop in Morgantown, and knowing that is most of what you need to visit successfully. The Boyers Avenue shop opens Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 3:30PM and is closed the other four days of the week. Miss that window and you are waiting until next week.

What is inside is strictly sports. Modern wax and hobby boxes, singles across baseball, football and basketball, vintage from the eras when Topps ran the category outright, and the supplies to store any of it. There is no TCG side to this business — for Pokemon or Magic, Four Horsemen and Cartridges Galore are the Morgantown answers. Gameday is for people who collect athletes.

Buying and selling is a real part of the operation, and the compressed hours actually work in a seller's favor: show up during the window with a collection and you are not competing with a room full of browsers for the owner's attention. Calling 304-241-5822 first is strongly advised, both to confirm the day and to describe what you are bringing.

The Google footprint is thin — 3.8 stars across 11 reviews — which reflects low walk-in volume more than anything about the inventory. A shop open ten and a half hours a week does not accumulate reviews the way a mall storefront does. It sits under a mile from Pure Collectibles at Mountaineer Mall, so the efficient move for a sports-card afternoon in Morgantown is to hit Gameday during its early window and roll over to Pure, which stays open until 7:30PM on the same days.

Go in with a want list and a realistic sense of the hours, and it is a useful stop on a Morgantown card shop route.
