This was absolutely amazing. They charge beautiful prices. DJ was so nice. He gave us drinks and they have a big free boot stall that he gave free cards and out of a 295 pack. I pulled the amazing card. He gives free sleeves amazing vibe. Definitely returning read more

Okay, I was a frequent customer but I don't think I will be back in again. Selling or trading cards here is really unfair. Buyers are standoffish, non negotiable and give you no clear reason or breakdown of how they are pricing. The take your stack, "look up comps" and bring you back a take it or leave it offer. I've purchase high end sports cards from them for over $100 and a week later brought them back to hear an offer and was offer $12. I understand margins and pricing but my goodness. Other than this the place was really cool and I really enjoyed being a regular, but if you lowball your regulars I couldn't imagine how you'd treat a stranger. read more

The best card shop around the Seattle/bellevue/renton area! The varieties of their pokemon and sports card are great! A lot of their products are well organized which I was impressed about. They price their products (specially pokemon cards) based off of eBay vs. TCG which I was disappointed about. Likely you'll be buying products more than market price. The service was good. The employees were helpful and knowledgeable. They answered any questions I had and was nice about it. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

DJ's Sportscards - Hobby Shops Near Me - Renton, Washington

I've worked with Aaron before, and he's great. If you go in, ask for Aaron. That said, I'd strongly recommend getting multiple opinions before accepting an offer on high-end cards here if Aaron is not available. I brought in three rare, low-pop cards: a Cooper Flagg /5 Pop 1, a Patrick Mahomes /10 Pop 1, and a Magic Johnson /5 Pop 1. My issue wasn't simply that my offers were below retail. It was the valuation process and how those offers were presented. On the Mahomes and Magic my offers were below the most recent sales of lower-graded copies, despite my cards being higher grade and Pop 1. On the Mahomes the most recent comp on a PSA 9 of my card was $2,100, and I was offered $1,700 on a PSA 10 pop 1. On Magic the most recent comp was $1,600 on a psa 8 auto 10. I was offered $1,300 for my psa 9 auto 10 pop 1. On the Flagg, my offer was $2,300. There have been two raw sales on this card (condition was terrible on both) and the average over $11,000. I was told the PSA 7 made it worth only a fraction of the raw /5s despite them having terrible condition and realistically little chance of ever receiving a comparable grade. None of these sales were from previous years or stale. These were the most recent on card ladder. Then came the part that really bothered me. Stickers were slapped onto my cards showing "case pricing." On the Flagg, a $3,000 sticker was put on the card while I was being offered $2,300. It felt like a very basic used-car tactic: establish an artificial ceiling first, then make the offer seem more reasonable by comparison. When I pointed out that the numbers didn't make sense and offered to show my own recent comps, I wasn't allowed to have that conversation on any of the cards. He would not even look. I was told to "calm down," followed by a huff and him walking back to his seat. A shop buying below market is completely reasonable. What isn't reasonable is anchoring customers with arbitrary "case prices," selectively framing comps, ignoring scarcity and population, and then refusing to engage when the customer brings actual market data. Do your own research. Know your comps, grades, serial numbers, and population reports. Don't let someone manufacture the value of your card for you. And again: ask for Aaron. read more

Ordered a few cards with them with no issues. I bought a $250 Dylan Harper card that was delivered to the wrong address. When I tried to resolve the issue with them, they refused to refund me or offer me a replacement item of equal or lesser value. They insisted that it was delivered to the right address and I never received the item. They said that they can't do anything if UPS makes a mistake in delivering. Would not recommend and will not be doing anymore business. They offer no help or compensation for items that get delivered to the wrong address. read more

Can't lie, this place was awesome! I have been reading about it for a while and we finally had a chance to stop in when we were running over to a friend's place in the area. The selection here was really solid. Not the best I've ever seen, but They had just bought everything we were looking for! There was tons of new stuff, lots of junk wax air products for those who love to rip older product, and a great selection of singles. They had just bought every sport you could find, and even some pretty solid non-licensed stuff. We met the owner and he really was a nice dude who provided some excellent service. One really cool thing that they do here is having a kids club where once a month, kids could bring in there punchcard and they get a two dollar card for free. It can also be applied to other selections such as Pokémon cards, memorabilia, or a Lego figurine. It's sort of a one stop shop! This is definitely a place. We will be stopping in the future. We really enjoyed the selection, being able to look around at a lot of good cards, and bantering with the guys there who obviously really enjoy what they do. This is well worth your time to check out! read more

Sports card inventory is varied and impressive, from vintage through junk wax to modern stuff. Honest and fair trade-in. Surprised it was so busy on a Thursday before dinner, which gave me a really good impression (people must be coming back). Despite this they made sure to help me out. It seems like Pokémon, etc is a huge part of their business too but there is enough room for both TCG and sports. read more

I get a kick out of the fact that this place seconds as a Christian Bookstore; not sure what the New Testament would have to say about this as not much separates a box of cards from a lotto ticket these days. I'm pretty sure Jesus would preach set-building over chasing hits, but hey your "addiction" is my "hobby." Look, DJ does everything right - you know it and I know it. The service is top-notch, even warm & loving (see: Christian bookstore). DJ has that kind of calming slouch of a man who knows his trade and knows what matters in life. You can almost see him as some reclusive clock-maker in a Victorian novel that pops up in a moment of heightened stress for the main character, there to show you what a less stressful, more humble life can really mean. I mean, the guy even offers all customers free sodas. He also has a lovely staff, providing a nice cross-section of America's disappearing middle class: the husky-voiced rough-around-the-edges manager who in another generation you'd find passed out a horse-track, the high school girl on her laptop who couldn't care less about sports, some puppy-faced twentysomething they give the job of carrying boxes to. Even the products themselves are authentic; it's not just a sterile wall of sealed product, but corners of his store have a mess of poorly sorted memorabilia guaranteed to make you smile. It's like someone filled up a U-Haul with a basement from 1997, down to the last Jay Buhner bobble-head. I'm taking a point off because he inflates the cost of his singles quite a bit. Stuff you can get on eBay for $2 (incl shipping) he'll mark as $8-10 -- not sure what that pricing strategy is when everyone has eBay sold lists in their pocket. But he also has ample quarter boxes that make up for the inflation in other parts of the store. read more

Theyre way out of the way for me but I still go here. Def the best most outgoing staff. Always have water and candy for patrons. Great selection of vintage, modern, and Pokémon for those who do that. Gotten great wwe cards here for great prices. Def the shop I reccomend most even over places like Burnank sportscards and cards hq. Now as a seller they have always treated me right and given me fair prices. Those who complained about what they offered don't understand the true value of their cards. read more

Good place for selection of cards and local place to shop for pokemon and sport card.

DJ's sportscards is one of the best shops around. The selection is perfect for all ranges and great variety. I've had nothing but the best customer service every single time I go. I go out of my way to drive 40 minutes to DJ's at least once every other week just to go through the thousands of cards they have in their $0.25 boxes. read more

This is the best sports card store I've been to hands down and definitely the best in Washington. DJ and his staff have an unmatched love for the hobby and contribute so much to the community. Perfect mix of wax, singles, and dollar boxes that you can spend hours going through. I started collecting 10 years ago and still fondly remember the free boxes of 90s cards he gave me that jumpstarted my interest. Great place to go no matter what you collect. Great Black Friday sales every year too. read more

As a former Newcastle resident, I used to pass this place weekly coming in and out of Renton via Coal Creek, Duvall Road, it was nested next to Penelope's Country Flower Shop. Penelope's has been a Subway for some time, and I'm not sure when DJ's relocated to this location, but I am going to assume this location may be larger than the last based on what I believed the former shop to be. This was my first stop; I was never a collector until last year. My sister passed away and amongst her things were about 75 cards of big names in good condition from the late 80's. I have since come to find out these cards are tagged as Junk Wax Era, but with names like Bo Jackson, Jose Conseco, Mark McGuire and others, I'm a fan. I decided to honor my sister by making a binder. Not knowing a thing about the hobby, I bought what looked like a nice binder. When it arrived, it was much larger than anticipated, it holds about 375 cards, but the size discrepancy came from the fact that it's a top loader binder. So, over the past 10 months, I have bought penny sleeves, top loaders and if you can believe it. 30,000 Junk Wax Era baseball cards. In that same amount of time, I have watched at least 300 YouTube videos about the hobby, the era and values. The best advice I got was take out the big-name rookie cards, and Hall of Famers. I'm still in the process of doing this, because everything I do turns into an education and it's amazing to find players I either never heard of or wasn't aware of were star caliber are in the Hall from this period. This was my first time every in a card shop and it was overwhelming. Cards everywhere, as you would expect. To be honest, I came in to ask questions, but ended up buying about 15 cards. The first person I spoke to didn't instill confidence. I don't recall what I asked, but I thought it was a softball question and he struck out. Eventually, I asked someone else a question and got respectable answers. As I continued to wander around, a guy approached me and asked if he could give me the 30 second tour/explanation of the store layout. It caught me by surprise, but it was welcoming and I needed that as I was confused up until that point. As you can imagine, things change often, they had a section that focused on current NBA Playoffs, smart, but obviously seasonal. I was interested in Sonics era basketball, but as you can imagine, pickings were slim. We love our Sonics and outside of some high value cards, there was not much to choose from. Ironically, when I checked out, I checked out with the first guy, who didn't appear all that on it. Could be that he works the register because he's not a Subject Matter Expert yet, but he was really good on the register, He asked me about sleaves, top loaders and other items that I would assume either the new or confused may overlook. I told him I was good, but again, it wasn't that I was being sold, he really impressed upon me that he didn't want me leaving the shop without having everything I needed to complete my project. I shop in a lot of places for a lot of things but can tell you this place had the best service. I expected a lot of snotty people that looked down on me for not knowing the sport or hobby and found the opposite. People excited and enthusiastic about sharing their wisdom. I don't do this often from a 1st visit, but I am going to bless these guys with a 5. Even though someone tried to shame me recently for my frequency of 1-Star reviews, as I explained, 1=Not Good, so step up your game like these guys and earn your stripes. Again, I'm no expert on prices, but for the most part, I'll say they were competitive. Yes, I have seen lower process online, but these weren't far off and for me, the ability to walk into a local store, not have to wait for slow shipping and processing and also be able to see and handle the product is worth it. I purchased a few cards from COMC in mid March, they just arrived a week ago! How does it take you 2 months to ship 3 cards? Again, not to knock anyone, but you won't have that issue here. read more

Stay away! I won some cards on Whatnot and it was shipped. I emailed them saying it has shown it was in LA for like three days. They told me to wait and that it showed it moved the day before but that was not true. I bought the cards on 1/24/2025. It arrived in LA on 1/30 and has not moved. Now they business will not return my emails about fixing this. I would NOT recommend these people. read more

They scammed me they gave me 20 DOLLARS for like over 1000 Pokémon cards and my two binders and one metal box

Last time I went they threw in some free top loaders as well. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for trading cards in the area. read more

Wonderful sports card shop. Great customer service, huge selection. I've never gone into the shop and not found something that I like. This shop can become addicting because there's so much to choose from, at extremely fair market values. I am also realistic. I would never give a bad review to any business because I felt the value of a particular collectible was more than it really was. The value of a sports card has nothing to do with the business or the customer experience. I wish Yelp would not allow people to post bad reviews because they're unhappy with the value of any particular collectible. Whether that be a sports card, coin or antique. read more

Came here for the first time today and what a great shop. I've been looking all over the Eastside for a "real" card store and finally found one. They have almost anything you can think of from cards for a quarter to several thousand dollar 1:1s. The owner was extremely helpful to myself and all other customers and its a blast to spend time in. Highly recommend for a collector of any card related product. read more
