Was scouring the world trying to find a display case for a signed baseball and found this gem. Ran over because it was nearly closing and spent a few minutes browsing. Selection looked pretty good with more choices than I could imagine. Service was friendly and I eagerly anticipate returning. Note to self: parked on the street.

The reason i leave a 1 star review is due to the following i live in anaheim and they are in arcadia. thats a 1 hr drive in light traffic. 1 hr there 1 hr back. I was recently looking online for a Steve Garvey autograph signing event and found that hall of fame baseball cards were going to host one. so 2 wednesdays ago i called and spoke to someone on the phone. they told me if i purchased $ 50 worth of merchandise from the store i would get a free ticket to the event.(great deal right?) so i told him i would go after work. and he said«ok see you here». unfortunately i did not make it that day. the saturday of the same week i got up early and decided to make the 1 hr trip. down there. when i showed up the guy was very nice. however as soon as i mentioned the steve garvey event. he said«we dont have the actual sale going on yet» what PISSEDMEOFF was that when i called them 3 days before and said i would be coming in to buy a ticket they never mentioned they were not available. then the guy there tells me to write my email on a sheet so they can email me once they have more info. me being a dodgers fan said ok and left my email. Now im getting a ton of emails with all their weekly specials on cards and bs… but not one email about the event. im glad hall of fame sports( ) in frank and sons is hosting garvey too… they are closer and cheaper. they helped me the same day i came in. and they didnt make me drive for nothing. i will NEVER return to this store. seems like they care more about cards than their customers.

Great place to be collecting cards! Not just sports cards either. Family owned business with great customer service, and much more fun and interesting than buying cards online. I’ll always come here to buy my cards in the future.

Always love going to Hall of Fame for the great conversations with Erik and Bob(mostly Dodger talk, but they do talk other sports too!)…they also have very competitive prices and often post their specials via e-mail or posts on Facebook. They also stock supplies(storage boxes, sleeves, binder pages, magnetic card holders, etc.) in addition to selling singles, packs, boxes, cases and complete sets… even better is that if they don’t carry a particular product, they will work with you to get it in stock. I’ve had many great pulls from this store and will always support my local card shop!

Fantastic local card shop. The prices are very competitive and the selection is great. This is a perfect alternative to buying from the online retailers as you never really know what you’re going to get in terms of quality from places like ebay. Would absolutely recommend any collectors to check this place out.

Just got back into Collecting Cards again and it was Nice to See this mom & pop brick & mortar still around. I don’t really buy packs but if I did this would be a great place to pick a few up with Competitive Pricing. I recently picked up 5 – 6 boxes of Bowman 2013⁄2014 baseball. Great Prices and just nice to walk into a place that has that home Feel to it. Eric was a Great Help and will be returning Very Soon, Thanks again for the Great Product and Service!

Visited this place since I was a kid. The service isn’t that good, to be honest. Not particularly friendly or outgoing, though they do know their stuff. The place is a MESS. It’s cramped, stuffy, and barely fits their products. For what it is, it has a good collection. It’s the only one of it’s kind(card collectibles) around, though. So. Good for it’s location, bad overall.

I had a bad experience the last time I went to this shop. Even after spending time and money the owner accused me of something I didn’t or wouldn’t do. Needless to say I didn’t feel appreciated as a customer and was offended. They say they appreciate their customers but for whatever reason I don’t think they want my bussiness so I won’t go there anymore.

I absolutely love this place. Bob, the owner, is one of the classiest guys out there. He’s always extremely friendly and truly loves baseball and sports cards. I’ve come in more than once for a quick stop and ended up staying for at least half an hour just talking about cards and the hobby in general. To top it all off, their prices are pretty good as far as local card shops are concerned. For all the people who compare LCS’s to online factory dealers, stop — local businesses will never be able to compete with these places. What brick-and-mortar stores can do is offer a superb experience that stays true to hobby. Though the decent prices brought me in, the atmosphere and dedication to the spirit of card collecting makes Hall of Fame the only hobby shop I’ll ever spend my moolah at. Keep up the good work!

Went back last week for another gift and finally met the owner. He was very helpful, professional and has a pleasant personality. Go in the morning so you have him helping you.

I don’t think there are too many brick-and-mortar baseball card stores left in America, but Bob has his shop in top order. It’s small, but you can find a pretty wide array of baseball and other sports cards, as well as memorabilia. The best part, though, is that Bob clearly cares as much about the cards as you do. It’s a 30-year«labor of love», as he put it. I didn’t buy much today other than a few odd-sized card sheets and a pack of 1984 Fleer baseball cards, but I feel like I made a friend and had a great conversation about collecting. That’s just as important to me as a huge inventory. And just to be clear, there’s plenty here to keep even an avid collector glued to the cases. I’ll be back here soon; next time with my dad.
