The owners name is Jeff. Great guy, and a nice shop with a huge selection of wax.
Its one of those places you can easily spend hours at talking cards sorting through his endless boxes, etc..

+1 for this shop

Definitely my favorite shop.

Of course, and yes it does! Ken's is still easily in my top 3 shops I've been too though, so you have that going for you.

Updated with some new MA stores.

Ken’s is great. Eric is always ready with the sleeve and top loader of you hit.

Just moved up this way -- this is a great list. I tried out Baseball Etc. in Newton this week. Very impressive selection of boxes and the prices seemed reasonable.

Great to hear. My office (once it reopens) is only a few minutes away from here and I can't believe I've never really been.

Even if it's a small drive for you, I'd still recommend Ken's.....really spectacular store.

[knuckleballerMC]

Does anyone know if Baseball Etc. in Newton has any sort of online presence? Would like to help out a local business while storefronts are closed but can't find a Facebook page, website, eBay profile, anything.

For anyone in Southern NH as well as the Boston area, I forgot to list this little gem located in Haverhill Ma. / The Comic Book Palace - 620 Primrose Street, Haverhill Ma.


They have a great selection of Boxes (all sports) as well as single packs on their main counter. Prices are very competitive with the owner Glenn being a great guy!

This place is worth the trip, nothing fancy but always well stocked with the latest products.

If your into Comic Books this is the place, I'm not a comics guy but I know based on my visits that they stock just about every major brand and have a loyal customer base.

It appears that he is also allowing customers into the store starting this weekend, check their Facebook page for current hours.

A few Connecticut additions:

Simsbury Cards & Comics - Granby
Website: http://simsburycc.com/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SimsburyCC/

I've only been inside a few times to buy comics. There are lots of sports cards. Sealed boxes, packs, and singles. Plus supplies, Magic: The Gathering, toys, and other memorabilia. Reopened earlier this week and offers curbside pickup. It's maybe five minutes from the Massachusetts line.

Comics and Collectibles - Glastonbury
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/comicsncollectibles.eh/

I've been here a few times. It's mostly comics and toys/statues but there are Magic: The Gathering cards and some other cards. I remember seeing some baseball and old Star Wars: CCG packs for sale.

IDeal Cards and Memorabilia - Locations in Canton and Terryville
Facebook (Canton): https://www.facebook.com/idealcards/
Facebook (Terryville): https://www.facebook.com/IDealCards2/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/ideal_cards

I've never actually been to either location but the Facebook pages look good. The Canton store has apparently reopened. The Terryville store is only open for 1-on-1 appointments.

For anyone into Magic: The Gathering or board games, there's the Tabletop Gaming Center in Newington (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TabletopGamingCT/) and The Portal in Manchester (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeMachinePortal/). Also GamesIRL in Canton (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gamesinreallife/) but I haven't been there yet.

Any of these on the list sell soccer by any chance?

[JustaGuy]

Gotta give a little plug to my local shop:

Tri County Cards
800 Park Ave #132
Keene, NH 03431
603-352-4205

Owner named Dick. He's 80 and been in cards forever. He still does things the "old" way, lol. But a great little shop with very fair prices.

Im down on the Vineyard for the weekend and theirs a hobby shop on Circut St in Oaks Bluff called Big Al. Owner was very nice and had reasonably priced stuff of all sports

Big Als
31 Circut St
Oaks Bluff, MA

[Bowman1951]

Thanks for all of the recent input, everyone. I need to start updating this more than just every six months. I'll get all of these added to the OP by the end of the year.

[NewLondonWhaler]

Matt’s Comics and Collectables in Enfield CT is pretty good. They have a new location. I haven’t been there yet because of COVID but I used to frequent the old place.

348 Hazard Ave Enfield, CT 06082
(860) 741-2522.

My wife took a vacation to the Salem area for Halloween last year and stopped at a shop in Peabody to get me some packs and such - almost positive it was this one, Sports Collectibles - https://www.facebook.com/pages/categ...6510094388639/
