WHAT'S IN THE BOX??? Don't lose your head if you are on the hunt for sports cards, you can just come here. There is a lot to offer in this small shop. There is so much packed into this small space but offers memorabilia and collectibles from all eras and a genres. From sports cards to pokemon to garbage pail kids, to comics, to boxing. If you are looking for cards to sign, there are plenty of single player cards to sort through. The amount of singles they have is endless. It was fun rummaging through the boxes. It was like the old days looking for hidden gems and Easter Eggs in the 8 for $10 boxes. If you have a card addiction you can find your fix here. They do box breaks on a regular basis. My first experience was exceptional. I called and spoke to Sam who was super friendly and helpful. I informed him that I was looking for a specific player's card and because of my urgency, plus the scarcity of the random player I was in need of, he took the time to look through their assortment of singles to find me one and held it for me by the time I was able stop by that afternoon. I was grateful and impressed with the service to go above and beyond. I definitely want to return, though, it is a bit of a drive. That might be a good thing that I am not close, so I am not always in there going broke HAHA read more

One good. One bad visit to BoxSeat Collectibles. The good: Came here after needing 10-15 minutes to kill after ordering Taste of Thai. They have an assortment of sports cards and memorabilia and friendly staff. The bad: If you need to sell any autographs or memorabilia make sure to call ahead. Only the owner is allowed to make those types of deals and if he's not in on that day you're out of luck. The friendly staff did let me know most small card shops have this policy though! read more

Great shop with an outstanding selection of cards and sports products! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable! We will be back soon!

Super friendly, helpful and the largest collection of cards and collecting products I've seen at a local phx shop. Will be back!

You won't find a better selection of cards! & Sam is a great help. Prices range from $1 on up. We are repeat customers and will definitely be back. read more

Not recommended. Poorly organized store. Lighting was subpar making it hard to see. Stock seemed dated; very few high end contemporary cards. A lot of old stuff in boxes that you have to sift through. More like a thrift store than a fun sports memorabilia / collectibles that you would find in Las Vegas. read more

Visited the store while on vacation in Arizona. The store was cluttered and the owner of the shop was more focused on conducting day to day internal operations than helping me as a customer. The store was cluttered and appeared most of the items for sale have been on display for a long time. I would recommend visiting other shops in the area. Not a good experience. read more

Friendly owner and staff. I would definitely come back again when I have a future trip to Phoenix!

They had a moderate collection of Pokemon cards to look through. Staff is nice. There are cheaper and better Pokemon shops in the area, but this place was loaded with sports balls stuff and they gave me a $25 gift certificate, so really no complaints. If sports is more your thing I'd def reccommend this place. read more

Had small but good selection of Pokémon cards but mostly sports. One thing though I feel like should've been advertised better or more clear is that their mystery Pokémon packs are not mystery tcg packs just random bulk cards put into an envelope and called "packs". So that was a bit disappointing, other than that it's a cool shop would recommend going there. read more

Walk into a blast from the past. Looks and feels like a 1990's card shop. Time definitely stopped inside this card shop. A true Local Card shop that's still in operation. They have a great variety of all genres of card collecting. WWE, Soccer, UFC, and more. Your PC will grow even if you not looking for something specific, you'll find something here. Heads up there is a limited selection of graded cards. They run weekly box breaks, you can sign up for in-store. This LCS also dabbles is sports memorabilia which is cool. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Happy to come back and see what's new in store. read more

Never have great luck, but love this place. Great selection of singles and retail boxes.

Great store, super helpful, super generous to my young son. We will definitely go back next time we're in Arizona....

Owner spent quite a while with me evaluating some cards and giving me a quick tutorial in card collections. Great selection of memorabilia. Will definitely do business there again read more

A basic internet search will show you a 10am opening time for this store, but they put a sign out front saying it doesn't open until 11. What they don't tell you is there really is no opening time. I showed up at 11 to sell my old collection of baseball cards and waited 30 minutes for someone to open the shop before leaving when no one did. To anyone who hopes to buy or sell with this shop, I advise you to try Ebay. read more

I have been in here twice to have a autographed card evaluated and see if it's worth anything. Well both times the guy that I talked to (not Mike) told me Mike would have to look at the card. But the way he interacted with me and the card I had made me feel like I shouldn't come back. He just looked at the card and shrugged his shoulders a few times and mumbled a little here and there. He took down my name and number for Mike and I never heard back. He clearly doesn't have the knowledge to evaluate autographed cards so why he seemed to prejudged my card is baffling. I got the message loud and clear and I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Our 11 year old son recently started collecting baseball, football and basketball cards and we thought he'd like to visit this shop. We were right-he loved it! Mike, the owner, was so nice. He was genuinely interested in us and what we were looking for. He was happy to show us items from any case. This shop has so much more than sports collectables. I really enjoyed looking around the store. The prices seem very reasonable as well. So glad we finally stopped in, we will definitely be back! read more

BoxSeat Collectibles - This place has a lot of cool stuff! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Really nice customer service and extreme patience with little peoples many questions.

Owner has had $800 of mine from a return for over a year that he promised to use to find me a specific item or two. Contacted me once many months ago. Sick to death of chasing him down and him acting like he's found something and I'll be hearing from him very soon. read more

This place is very friendly. I got there a few minutes before closing and they allowed my to stay a little after closing and did not rush me whatsoever! I'll def be back with my boys who love baseball cards and other collectibles. read more

Pretty good store and great selection of products. Really nice owner. But wasn't able to make a deal.

By far my favorite store in the world. anyone who is into collectables or is looking to unload the cards from the past should come see the people here. I've always been treated fairly and have pulled some amazing cards from boxes here. It makes me happy just to walk in this place because you really never know what kind of amazing things might come in at any moment. read more

They have some super cool stuff in here, and a ton of great deals. My son asks to go back every day to check out the baseball cards.

Mike the owner is awesome. Really knowledgeable about the industry and very friendly. I highly recommend.

Walked in for new Stadium Club fully expecting to pay higher prices for wax than online or even my local card shop in Ormond Beach FL. Paid $108 for a box......they are $85 online and at time i was in we're actually $77 online so technically I paid THIRTY DOLLARS more. I didn't have the heart to walk out but I won't ever be retuning. Which is a shame as it's only 2 miles away from new apartment That markup is just absolutely atrocious. I'll stick to Blowout or find some other options for wax going forward. read more

Outstanding collection of sport collectibles. Mike was awesome to deal with & very easy to talk to. He has a great selection of old vintage cards & good pricing. I definitely will be a repeat customer...5 stars all the way! read more

Mike the store owner is a great guy, knows his stuff, and has great prices. Always comes in clutch for all the card and collectible needs

This is a great shop! So much here I would love to move to my office to dress it up. It is easy to get lost in here because the collection is huge, cool, and all over the board. As a Bears fan I was immediately drooling over signed helmets, a Walter Payton jersey, and small affordable collectibles too. If I am on your Christmas List, feel free to find me something at Box Seat. :) read more

Awesome business the owner is a very nice guy very knowledgeable took a couple hours out of his day to look threw a mountain of stuff and give you an honest idea of just what you got. Integrity is a good thing and you most certainly have it thank you read more

Mike and Nick at Boxseat Collectibles are awesome!!! After browsing around the Valley and visiting various card shops , I stumbled across the guys at Boxseat Collectibles. This shop everything, from autographed memorabilia, cards, framed jerseys and various team items. If there's something that your looking for and they don't have it, they will do their best to get it. Check them out !!! read more

Extremely rude on phone when asking just a basic question. Definitely will not ever do business with this store. And will tell others to avoid as well! read more

I purchased an item through the Box Seat Collectibles eBay store, paid for it immediately, then a couple days later got a message about the sale being cancelled. Apparently this business has the same items for sale in store as they do online. That's fine if you have a large quanity of each item, but it doens't really work when it's a one of a kind item. It's also againt eBay policy. They didn't offer me anything in exchange either, outside of a really lame excuse and apology. Based on the other eBay feedback they've received, it sounds like this is a regular occurance. I wouldn't waste your time or money with these guys. read more

Pulled some pretty rare cards out of packs from this store. Just this week I scored a 2013 Bowman Chrome Prospects Blue Refractor Auto along with an Orange Border Paul Goldschmidt. The owner has always been very friendly and helpful whenever I've stopped in. Best card shop in the East Valley! read more

I second the first review....walked into shop few days ago. No other customers. Was totally ignored for 5-7 minutes until I left. Never was even asked why I was there! Obviously this business doing so well it doesn't need new customers. Have already told others and will continue to do so. read more

I've been enjoying BOX SEAT for many years, Mike has a great store with everything a card collector could ever imagine. If you have any items that you think might be of value, bring it to BOX SEAT and they will give you a great deal of information about it. Purchased my first box of 2013 Topps MLB cards, wasn't a great rip but it is all about the chase for those great inserts. Every visit Mike always has a great story to share about new products and or some amazing pulls from his regulars. I'd recommend it to all my friends who collect, great supplies and unique framed pictures and team gifts for those hard to shop for sports friends. read more
