Sports cards shops in the Phoenix area? (Scottsdale, Paradise Valley: live, storage)

[Bondurant]

Do sports card shops still exist? A Google search yields names and phone numbers but no other information. There was a shop, recently closed, in the Paradise Valley mall. I'll probably jot down the numbers and start calling tomorrow after work to see if anyone is still in business.

I am looking for a card storage box. The boxes that around a foot long and will store a single row of cards. I have a messy pile of hockey cards that I want to organize and store.

If you know of an open shop please let me know. I live near 20th Street & Greenway in Phoenix and work near Raintree & 101 in Scottsdale. Bonus if it's near one of my locations but I'll travel if I must.

When did it close? That's a bummer - I was in there (for the first time) a couple months ago and they had some neat stuff. Lots of old Suns cards.

You can try Boxseat Collectibles in Ahwatukee, though that's far from you. I've never been in there, but visited family last week and was surprised it was still there and open.

Not sure when they went under. I picked up a few things there around 2 or 3 months back and went back to the mall to pick up a storage box and they were gone.

Thanks for the Boxseat tip. I'll check 'em out if there's nothing closer.

I have been to Dave's Sports Cards at 24th St and Osborn a few times. It was still in business as of a couple of weeks ago.
