Kip's Hobby Shop (sports cards and collectibles) - Los Altos, California

I have become a frequent visitor to Kip's, and it's always a great experience. Yesterday, Astrid helped me by giving me advice and pricing some cards from the dollar box. We talked Pokemon, sports, and collecting in general. Even with multiple customers in the store, including one who was trying to sell a collection of literally thousands of cards, Astrid kept a cool head and gave great customer service. He shocked me when he told me it was his first day on the job!

Kip's is a great place to browse cards and packs and to learn more about the hobby. Until next time!

This is a fantastic store! Everyone collecting cards nearby should visit!
The store is not large, but it's warm & interesting, with lots of cool cards.
I talked with the manager Tyler multiple times, he is enthusiastic & passionate to customers. He always gives customers the perfect recommendations. Tyler is knowledgeable and even knows the differences for multiple card sleeves.

Leaving this store, my 9-year-old said to me, "That's the best place on earth." I can see why: for a cozy (small) space, they have a LOT of options, both for sports and Pokemon. The staff was very knowledgeable, helping us think through options to grow our collections and finding storage so we can keep things organized. I love supporting a business where they bring warmth and enthusiasm to service, and clearly enjoy sharing their passion with customers.

Great experience friendly staff who asked lots of question and helped me find what I was looking for. Prices seemed very fair on low end cards! Great experience will return!!

A great trading card shop in the neighborhood. I learned a lot talking to the owner. He did an assessment of my collection in addition to helping organizing it. He clearly loves what he is doing and the store, while small, has a great vibe (collectibles in display cases, games on the TV, …). Definitely worth stopping by if you are into baseball and football cards.

I would like to come out and visit your store again. I would like to sell some cards. Mostly cool older (in great condition/non graded)

I would also love if you would look thru my MTG & Pokemon cards as well. I plan on spending 1/2 store credit 1/2 cash (if possible)

I understand you may not be interested in anything. I just want to confirm a) you’ll be open & b) you’ll take a look at what I got regardless of purchase. I don’t want to get there and be told your not interested 🙂

Thank You so much

(I’ve change my rating btw)

Great staff and ownership at this Sports card and Memorbilia shop! I was looking for some specific vintage cards and the owner actually ran home to search his personal inventory to help me out. Friendly and wonderful place to get your product.

Been waiting for a card shop to open up near me! been over there about 3-4 times now and great prices on packs and now I don't have to drive all the way to Sunnyvale to pick up cards. Easy to get packs there that are hard to find in the wild. Awesome local shop!
