🏆 About
Showtime Cards was founded in 1998 when a passionate sports card collector, George Mares, opened a small retail store in Tucson, AZ. Over the years Showtime Cards continued to grow the retail store as well as a strong online company. It also expanded into games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yugioh and into comic books, toys and pop culture collectibles. We are a business that is owned and ran by collectors, gamers and comic book enthusiast so we fully relate to our customers and hobbyists. We have taken great measures to provide superb customers service, great selection at fair prices. Whether it’s your thrill to open a box of cards, play TCG’s with your friends, or find the comic book you’ve been looking, we know what collecting is all about.
💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Solid stop for both TCG folks and sports wax junkies. They’ve got a decent mix of sealed and singles, though the wall of high-end is a bit light. Staff knows their stuff without being pushy—definitely not a “grumpy legend” vibe.
