Great shop with very fair prices on singles and hobby boxes. The store owners are willing to listen to offers based on current market value and always provide great insight regarding their product. They are always happy to accommodate requests for opening cases to look for singles. The wheel in the middle of the store is a nice perk as well.Love this store!

My wife and I had a great experience here. Plenty of cards to choose from, not just sports cards but also MTG. We paid to spin the wheel and my wife landed on $10 in value for a $1 spin. How lucky?Some of the cards were priced slightly higher than market, but it’s understandable given demand and volatility in the sports card market over the past few years. I did not try to negotiate, but they are nice gentleman and I’m sure they are willing to communicate about price if you’re open about it. Thanks!

Ive been to all the local stores and the two gentlemen who own this store really do a service to the hobby as well as the community. I have cross referenced online prices with theirs on many occasions and they keep their margins razor thin. Not only are their prices the best of all local stores, but both owners are friendly and extremely knowledgeable on all sports as well as trading card games like Magic and Pokemon. They keep their shelves stocked with hobby and retail boxes ranging from low end all the way to the most expensive stuff this hobby has to offer. Not only that but if you have a special request they will always do their best to accommodate.I would like to personally attest to seeing their generosity on display multiple times with young kids in the store allowing them a free spin on their wheel for a free prize from the store. Not only this but I have sold cards to them on 3 separate occasions and they were always fair and realistic when making an offer.If you want to give your business to a place that has grinded out 20+ years of success through hardwork and a passion for the hobby (and during a time with a tumultuous economy and a pandemic) well then look no further, this is the spot. Its always a pleasure doing business here.

I’m looking at the reviews and I have to say, I don’t agree with the comments… I was looking at the Pokémon cards there a few weeks ago and was interested in a couple. I did notice they were a bit higher then TCG price and when I brought up the conversation to the gentleman behind the counter he gladly looked them up and adjusted the price fairly.. I’m sorry but a closed mouth don’t get feed. I’m sure if you talked to them and told them your concerns they would of negotiated with you or at least explained how they operate their market…Me and my son are going in today to sell a bunch of bulk and will continue to return to this store because they do a wonderful job!! Thank you Card traders of Austin!!!

If you put pointy hats and wizard robes on the 2 older fellows that own the place, it could almost pass as a disheveled library full of schematics, spell books, and alchemist recipes in the basement of Hogwarts. Theres stuff all over the place, and always loose Pokémon and MTG cards sitting on top of the glass cases. Im pretty convinced that they are not actually organizing anything, its the same cards shuffled around everytime i come in. Whenever I visit, I have to be wary of my OCD kicking in and turning into Russel Crowe in A Beautiful Mind as my brain tries to calculate how long it would take to actually organize the store.The two owners are exceptionally nice though and the prices are decent, with a fairly wide selection. There is one younger guy there that handles the magic the gathering cards and although never rude, he does have a I-just-asked-the-haughty-barista-what-the-difference-is-between-a-Cafe-au-lait-and-a-Latte air about him.All in all, I like the store and its one of the few around thats heavily slanted toward sports collectibles, so if you are into baseball, football and basketball memorabilia or trading cards, this store may have what youre looking for. It also has a decent amount of singles and sealed product for MTG and Pokémon.

Walt helped me out with a Stan Musial bat I have and sold me a couple Cowboys cards to add to my collection. Dont waste your time anywhere else! Walt and Card Traders is the real deal and hope they have another 25 years of success!!! I will definitely be back again and again. -Tim M.

Markup for Pokémon product is wayyyyyy too high. They charge scalping prices. There were charging $80 for a Celebrations Elite Trainer box. Looked elsewhere and bought it for $55 that day. Big rip off of a place. Not only that but my wife and I walked in and werent helped at all, and while we browsed the collection of stuff, a gentleman at the front was still waiting 10 minutes later just check out as we left. Never going back to this place again. I recommend looking elsewhere.
