Card Shops in New Jersey

New Jersey is the most fragmented state in the directory. Its 129 independent shops are spread across 98 municipalities, 91 of the state's 126 listed places hold exactly one listing, and no New Jersey city carries more than 4 independents.

The top of the list — Union (4), Vineland (4), Jersey City (3), Rockaway (3), and Fair Lawn (3) — reads as a set of separate towns rather than a metro ranking, because that is what New Jersey is. The alphabetical index below is the right tool here, and the nearest-cities links on each city page usually matter more than the state-level order.

54 GameStop locations bring the total to 183, with 28 towns chain-only. Classification is 129 trading card games to 66 sports cards, 12 both — a comparatively strong sports share for the Northeast.

Every New Jersey entry carries an address and a map link; 171 carry a phone number, 166 post hours, and 147 link to a website. 154 have a Google rating attached, which is what the ranking on each list page is built from. Stock, buy prices and event nights are not fields in this dataset, so nothing here can tell you what is in a case today. Monmouth Cards in Wall Township (5.0 stars from 381 reviews), Bergen County Sports Cards in Bergenfield (5.0 stars from 213 reviews), and Monmouth Cards in Midland Park (5.0 stars from 194 reviews) lead the ranking.

61 New Jersey listings are thin records kept out of search results. Among the rest, 154 of the 183 carry a Google rating, one of the higher shares in the country. 42 of the 166 posted schedules close on Sundays — a larger figure than the Monday count, which is the reverse of the national pattern.
