Sports Zone TCG + Sports 4.4(117)

This listing places Sports Zone at 1425 Central Ave in Albany, NY 12205. Statewide, New York accounts for 253 independent listings spread over 144 cities, plus 100 chain locations. Hours are posted for all seven days of the week. The directory files this listing under both trading card games and sports cards. That is a classification applied to the business record, not the result of anyone checking a display case. The closest other cities with listings are Watervliet, about 6 miles out with 1 shop, and Schenectady at roughly 7 miles.

Both a phone number and a website are on file, which puts this listing among the 3 of 6 in Albany that link out to a site of their own. Measured from its coordinates, the nearest other shops in the directory are Finnigan's Sportscards (under a mile) and SandBoxCards (3 miles). Opening times on the schedule start as early as 10 AM, and the latest close on it is 8 PM. 117 Google reviews back the 4.4-star figure — third by volume among Albany's 4 rated shops. What the directory does not hold is inventory: there is no record here of what is in the case on a given day, which sets are open, or what the shop pays for cards. Call before you drive.
