Amazing game store that caters to a variety of hobbies. Just a few notes from someone who has been…read moregoing to all of the locations (since they opened or if they have been more recent) for about 10 years: - They never open and reseal product. I have never seen this one time in my entire time in the stores. Whoever said that in another review is lying. - Prices are compared against the market and 99% of the time, the store will give the customer the best price they can. - They have the most generous trade-in sale percentages of any store around. Having spent time with the owner and founder, most of the employees, and a good amount of the customers, I can say that this store is hands down the best games/hobby venue around. Truly care about providing people and families with a place to compete and have fun.

The building has a large sign which has been attached to the front for years that says "America's…read moreLargest Train Store" and their web site makes the same claim. However, when you walk inside you will quickly realize that the retail store only occupies roughly a quarter of the building. This certainly was not the largest train store in the United States when Caboose Hobbies in Colorado still had its own retail location. Even after Caboose Hobbies closed, the title of "largest train store" still seems somewhat dubious. Despite the claim, it is still a fairly large store with a wide selection of trains and gauges. It's one of the most organized stores I've seen with their merchandise neatly displayed on shelves. This is a big difference from other model train shops where the stock is often randomly put on shelves. As you enter, you'll find one of the largest G Scale selections I've ever seen. There's also plenty of O Scale with HO and N stock towards the back. Prices are on the high side and if you're new to the hobby then you're bound to experience some sticker shock. Some other stores have a fairly decent selection of used items which can be great for kids, but there wasn't much used stock on my visit, so as much as the kids might like the train layout they've got, it's not a great place to bring little kids shopping because they're likely to be disappointed they can't afford anything with their allowance money. There is a train display upstairs, but for "America's Largest Train Store", the display seemed rather small. It's in the center of a small room upstairs and there's a narrow hallway around the display so you can see it from all sides. However, it's entirely behind glass which means it's impossible to take any photos or videos without a reflection. Most other stores with a display will have plexiglass around the bottom but you can still stick a camera over the top for photos. I'm assuming they've got this entirely enclosed because it's off in its own area with no staff to watch out for sticky fingers. As of this review, their hours are just Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm which makes it VERY difficult to visit the retail store for anyone that works regular working hours. It would be nice if they were open a weekend day or had at least one day when they were open later. As a result, I've only been able to visit in person once when I happened to have a day off. I'd prefer to visit in person than order online to save on shipping costs and time and to ensure I get the item I actually want. If I'm going to bother ordering online, I can order from literally anyone just as easily. It's a shame their hours aren't convenient for regular folks with 9 to 5 jobs.

Just called 6/26/26 had a question about adding marker lites to grand sons Lionel caboose. The guy…read moreanswers ,mumbles Charlie Ro, I had to ask if this is Charlie Ro. "Yea" l ask my question about a lightning kit for a Lionel caboose, mumbles "not aware" silence. Thought he would come back with " I sell lighted cabooses" or something. Silence, but then I realize he doing something else. So I ask about lighted caboose. I'm still not sure what he said. I say " buddy your not very helpful " Suddenly he sounds like a very useful employee I can understand him,but I tell him " forget it!" And hang up. I'm sure there others who want my business! Never again!!

I recommend this store over and over. I have been to this store 4 times now when I'm in the area. I…read morehave bought multiple items from them. The owner is one of the nicest people ever.

If you've read my other reviews, I don't give five stars lightly. But in this case, somehow…read moreSportsworld was worth five stars and if I could give five and a half, I would. I am in town for only a couple days and in less than 30 minutes, this is the sports card (and other memorabilia) store I've always wanted to find. I could not have wished for a better experience. All my "wishes" would have fallen short of the tremendous customer service experience I found this afternoon. I arrived within 30 minutes of closing time but the store was PACKED and I soon figured out why: this is the PLACE. This is where anyone in driving distance of Boston needs to come for anything sports card or sports memorabilia. You will NOT leave disappointed! Again, if I could give MORE than 5 stars, I would! If you are collecting VINTAGE cards, this is your BEST and ONLY HOPE, Obiwan!

While it has gone back and forth between two hotels recently and I prefer the Marriott location…read moreover this one, it is definitely a really great "almost weekly" show that will serve the needs of both vintage and modern collectors a like. Located inside the Best Western, there are two rooms and one sort of hallway for vendors to set up. As you enter, you pay the $2 entry fee which also gives you access to door prizes that normally pop off at 9:30 and noon. I even went after 12:00 one day and they let me in for free but be careful with this as some were already shutting down for the day. Doors open at 8:30 and you wouldn't believe how many people are out purchasing cards so early on a Sunday morning. I am a 99% vintage purchaser myself and there are plenty of booths offering up vintage commons, graded cards and raw at a fairly decent price. Pro tip: get to know the vendor, chat it up a bit and tell them you will be purchasing from them in bulk. They are more likely to give you a good deal. I had a $125 order one day and didn't have the cash for it all. While the vendor didn't offer up credit cards, the guy who runs the show was able to run it for me and the vendor gave me a much better deal in the process. I ended up spending over two hours with just with one seller. Plenty of patches, autos and the latest rookies to look through, I'd say the vendors are pretty evenly split between new and old. Parking can be tough but there are plenty of spots in the back. Remember, it is a functioning hotel so if it's a busy weekend, the lot is already almost full with visitors, on top of those coming for the card show itself. This is a long running show and the organization that goes into it shows through. Find them on Facebook to find out which week the show may be running. For example, they were off a few weekends the Pats were playing, or they closed early for the 1:00 games.
