Best Card Shops in Maine

Maine has 26 independent card shops in our directory, plus 7 national chain locations. Of all 33 listings, chains included, 20 are classified under TCG and 13 under sports cards. The ranking below covers independents only, scored by rating and review volume.

The order below is a Bayesian average of each shop's Google rating. Every rating is blended with the directory-wide mean of 4.44 stars, weighted as if 15 extra reviews sat at that mean, so a rating backed by a handful of reviews is pulled toward the average and a rating backed by hundreds barely moves. Maine has 26 independent shops eligible for the list, 23 of them with a rating and review count; the 20 highest scores are shown. 18 cities are represented in the list; the most places go to Auburn (2) and Kennebunk (2). Every shop on this page is an independent; Maine's 7 national chain locations are left out of the scoring entirely rather than ranked low.

By directory category the list splits 11 under trading card games and 9 under sports cards. You can see the weighting in the order: iRepair Kennebunk- Buy/Sell/Repair, on 4.8 stars from 98 reviews, ranks above Abominable Games, on 4.9 from 30 reviews. Ratings on the list span 4.5 to 5.0 stars, backed by between 1 and 232 reviews, with a median of 17. Nobody from Card Shop Hub has visited these shops; the list reflects Google ratings and nothing else, so treat it as a shortlist to call. The full set of listings is on the Maine state page.
