What collectors say
★★★★★
“The Backstop in Toms River is truly a special family-owned business. It is run by a loving widow and grandmother who continues the business to keep her husband’s memory, passion, and love of sports alive. You can feel that love and dedication in everything she does. The Backstop isn’t just a sports memorabilia store—it’s a place filled with memories, family, and a genuine love for the community.”
★★★★★
“We had such a great experience and will definitely be back! If you are a sports fan or a collector, I recommend stopping by!”
★★★★★
“If you’re looking for a great local hobby shop to get your sports cards and TCG cards then visit this staple family owned business. The Backstop owner, Cory and her staff are the best in the hobby, very knowledgable and fair with the prices. The shelves are always stocked and the singles as well!!!! Never feel like im being taken advantage of when selling to the shop or buying singles/boxes! The Backstop is Top Notch!!!”
★★
“The woman behind the counter spent the entire time I was in the store on a video conference call with whom I presume was her daughter and grandchildren. I was in the store for 5+ minutes without a word spoken to me. Couldn’t be bothered getting off the call or putting it on hold to offer assistance. So I left. And even as I walked out the door, and I did so slowly, but still nothing from her. Ended up spending almost $180 at the next hobby store I went to. Hope the call was worth it. I gave the store 2 stars because it actually looks like they have some nice stuff there, but horrendous customer service.”
