City Cards & Collectibles Sports 4.6(70)

Card Shop Hub has City Cards & Collectibles at 656 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10310. Classification here is sports cards — a directory-level label drawn from the business listing rather than from a stock check. There are 10 card shops on file in Staten Island, 7 of them independent; this is the second entry in that list. Order on a city page comes from rating shrunk toward the site-wide average by review volume, so a 5.0 from nine reviews does not automatically lead. Both a phone number and a website are on file, which puts this listing among the 4 of 10 in Staten Island that link out to a site of their own. City Cards & Collectibles posts hours for all seven days.

Its 4.6-star Google rating rests on 70 reviews, the second-largest review count of the 6 rated listings in Staten Island. Statewide, New York accounts for 253 independent listings spread over 144 cities, plus 100 chain locations. If Staten Island comes up short, Brooklyn (32 shops, ~11 mi) and New York (~15 mi) are the nearest alternatives on file. Across the week the earliest listed opening is 11 AM and the latest listed close is 8 PM. 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.
