Card Shops in Waukegan, Illinois

Waukegan, Illinois has 2 card shops in our directory — 1 is filed under trading card games and 1 under sports cards. Every listing has an address and a Google Maps link; 2 of 2 also have a phone number and 2 have posted hours.

Of those 2, 1 is an independent shop and 1 is a national chain location. Independents are listed first on this page and the chain entry sits in a collapsed block at the end. Statewide, Illinois has 147 independent listings across 102 cities, plus 74 chain locations listed separately. All 2 listings carry a Google rating. The highest-scoring independent once review volume is taken into account is Jim & Steve's Sportscards, at 4.6 stars from 115 reviews. Among the 2 Waukegan shops with a posted schedule, 1 is open every day of the week and 1 closes on Sundays.

Small as it is, this page is a real entry rather than a placeholder: it exists because Waukegan has at least one independent shop. The 25 Illinois cities whose only listings are a national chain get a page too, but those are kept out of search results. Within driving range are Gurnee at roughly 4 miles with 3 shops, Zion at roughly 7 miles with 1 shop, and Grayslake at roughly 9 miles with 1 shop. All 2 listings carry a website as well as an address, which is better field coverage than most cities this size. The directory holds no inventory data for any of these shops, so what is in the case on a given afternoon is not something this page can answer. Our guide to finding a good card shop covers what to ask on the phone, and the starter guide covers the rest.
