💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This shop is for the patient collector who isn’t afraid of a “cluttered” environment. Service Warning: As of early 2026, there have been recurring complaints regarding online/custom jersey orders taking months to fulfill with poor communication; it is highly recommended to only purchase items that are physically in-stock and in your hand. Pro Tip for 2026: Because the shop is so densely packed, the owner often has high-end autographed items tucked away that aren’t on display—if you are a serious jersey collector, it pays to ask specifically for “back-stock” authentication. Selling Tip: Many local sellers advise against bringing collections here for cash buyouts, as the shop’s overhead and “storage locker” volume often result in offers significantly below market comps. Logistics: The shop is generally open daily from 11 AM – 7 PM, but they are frequently closed on Saturdays, which is unusual for a hobby shop—always call ahead at (563) 599-4018 before making a trip.

⭐ Review Summary
uperstars of the Game in Dubuque is a polarising, “treasure-hunter” style memorabilia shop that functions as much like a warehouse as it does a retail store. Founded by Mike Sauerbry, the shop specializes in exclusive autograph contracts and high-end signed jerseys (famously representing athletes like Melvin Gordon and Ty Montgomery). While the inventory is vast—spanning vintage cards to modern autographed gear—the shop is notorious for its lack of organization. Frequent visitors describe the layout as “hoarder-like,” with piles of items that require significant digging to navigate. Customer feedback is starkly divided: while some collectors love the chaotic thrill and finding “hidden gems,” others have reported significant issues with unfulfilled custom orders and low-ball offers when trying to sell collections.
