As lifelong sports card collectors, opening a sports card store in our hometown of Londonderry, New Hampshire was always the dream. In 2023, business partners Luke Grilli and Adam Kaufmann turned that dream into reality when opening Card Czar with one simple mission:
Create the ultimate destination for collectors — built by hobbyists, for hobbyists.
Fueled by a passion for sports cards, Pokémon, TCGs, and the community that surrounds the hobby, Card Czar has grown from an 1,100 sq ft storefront into one of the largest sports card and collectible shops in New England in just 2.5 years. Today, our 4,500 sq ft showroom at 27 Buttrick Rd in Londonderry, NH stands as a collector’s paradise.
Whether you’re chasing vintage sports cards, ripping the newest hobby wax releases, searching for Pokémon, One Piece and other trading card game products, hunting singles, exploring comics and collectibles, or introducing your kids to the hobby for the first time — Card Czar aims to be more than just a card shop.
We strive to be a place where collectors belong.
A place to escape everyday stress.
A place to spend hours digging through value boxes.
A place to hit a dream card with friends.
A place to attend trade nights, rip events, and meet fellow collectors.
A place where the next generation of hobbyists can create core memories alongside parents who once loved collecting themselves.
Our new home was intentionally built to deliver that experience — featuring over 80 feet of display cases, one of the region’s most extensive selections of sports cards, Pokémon products, wax, and singles, and enough space to host one of New England’s most active collecting communities.
The growth of Card Czar has been humbling and, at times, unbelievable. Along the way, we’ve earned the trust of industry leaders like Topps, major sports card and TCG distributors, and most importantly:
We’ve earned the trust of collectors.
That trust remains our greatest accomplishment, and it’s one we promise to continue earning through:
At Card Czar, our mission isn’t simply to sell sports cards or collectibles.
Our mission is to grow the hobby, strengthen the community, and create an unforgettable experience for every person who walks through our doors.
The dream started with two 10 year old kids who loved collecting cards.
Today, that dream belongs to an entire community.
And we’d love for you to be part of the journey.
Card Czar supplies all the new releases each week and strives to always have fresh wax and packs available to feed that itch to rip on our wall of wax. With over 4,500 sqft of shop we have one of the biggest selections of high-end sport cards, Pokemon and TCG in New England.
We host many online streaming shows every week to showcase the week’s latest releases.
Make sure you check out our weekly schedule on Whatnot to see what we’ll be auctioning off or ripping live. View our calendar weekly and follow us on social media.
We handle monthly bulk grading submissions through a partnership with third-party grading service PSA. An industry staple in the business and one of the oldest grading companies on the market. Either ship and submit to us through our website or come by the shop and we’ll handle the rest.
We host monthly trade nights (first Wednesday of each month) which is a great way to meet more fellow collectors and make new friends. Just like how we made friends in elementary school through Sports Card collecting it is still relevant in this day of age of online media. Also always FREE pizza as well so why not come by and enjoy the scene.
