Tp's Sports Cards

★★★★★

“A great spot to spend a few hours! Good variety. Priced reasonably so some of the newer wax doesn't last long. Always getting new stock. He stocks both Japanese and English pokemon so a lot to choose from. He has a friendly network of buyers and authenticators so even if he doesn't buy your cards it is likely he can point you to someone who will and if he doesn't have what you want in stock he can likely get it for you. A great all around shop.”

“Brought in a 1998 first addition Zard. After the owner spends 45 looking at the card and showing his buddies the card. He determined the card was real. Then he looked up eBay comps for 15 mins. The card he said was worth 900 to 1200 in its condition and I agreed. When it was time for him to make an offer he offered 200 dollars. What a joke he didn’t even offer me 50 percent of the low end of his estimate. Don’t waste your time trying to sell cards to him. You’ll be LOWBALLED!!!”

“Don’t even waste your time going here. Guy does not price things where comps are you show him comps and he gets angry at you because you have a half a brain and you know how to use eBay. When he pulls up comps, he will go to listed items and click highest available price and when you tell him that’s not how it works. He gets mad. He does not have any modern day wax. All of his wax is junk wax arrow, and I understand people like that and there’s nothing wrong with junk wax however don’t brag about your wax collection when you have no modern day wax to rip. He told me every card is $.10 in a Dig binder I waste 30 minutes of my life getting 100 cards thinking it’s gonna be $10. He goes kid. Every card you picked out is two dollars to five dollars after he told me all the cards in that big binder or $.10. I don’t know why people go to the shop. I don’t know how the shop still in business I would save your time save your money and not even go. He was looking at an original 1990s Hollow Charizard first edition offered the gentleman $200 and got mad when he left. Now I will play devil’s abdicate. I did not see the card. I did not look at the card but that card raw is easily. A four figure Card guy offered him 20% and that’s if the Cards in terrible condition. TP sports card is more like TP’s museum the cards there will never change and the prices won’t be fair for another 20 to 30 years. I recommend you staying away once again.”

“What TP sports cards. He had a vintage Mickey Mantle collection. He has the cards priced for PSA sevens and eights mind you these cards are raw on top of these cards being raw. One of them has a pinhole in it on Mickey Mantle‘s face. Another one has a glue stain on it and the third and final one has a gum stain. Yes, I can understand that these cards are very expensive however they’re gonna be graded a PSA one at best. There are nowhere close to his asking prices of $6000 $7000. When I brought up the fact that these have these issues, he said they don’t care at PSA about these issues which is a complete another mistake. Mind you most of these are offended because they didn’t care about how they cut the Cards back then. I tried to show him prices of authentic Mickey mantels for those same years. He pulled out the Beckett Price guide and says nope. Beckett says it’s worth this. Not only does nobody use the Beckett price Guide anymore, but the fact we have live eBay comps we could compare those which are so much better. Another thing is when we use the Beckett price guide it could compare stuff to PSA sevens and eights they want mint or Neare mint copies. He’s trying to tell me he is low and these cards are worth more even though there are nowhere close to near mint or let alone mint. I understand these old guys I’ve been doing this for a long time, but at the same time, I don’t understand how you’re gonna tell me that these cards are an excellent condition when they’re nowhere close you can’t tell me you have 30+ years in the business and not know what cards are gonna grade If you want to waste your time, stop at TP sports cards to look at overpriced cards that will never sell out of his showcase. He claims to be a collector and knows what collecting is all about he seems more of a rip off and tries to get a sucker to buy all of his stuff for 10 times the price. If you go in there to buy anything, please beware and do your due diligence of the prices. These cards aren’t the only other Cards he has outrageously over comps.”
