This is one of those shops that seems to have survived because the strip mall it's in isn't the best, but it is in a pretty good location, near a McDonald's and a Chuck E. Cheese's, so the kid magnet factor helps add a little gravity to the shop. It's a little sad walking in, as at least a third of the shelf space is just empty, and another 10% of it is placeholder inventory that nobody ever buys (celebrity photos, player plaques, junk boxes of various Pro Set, etc.). There's a moderate amount of M:TG and kid gaming cards, but limited to one display case, and the rest of the shop is sports related.

This shop is a case of how current wax can keep a store in business. Their older wax is varied, and their loose cards are a good deal, especially for local sports teams. The owner is also likely to boost you some freebies out of inventory, especially if you're a new customer. The shop is friendly bases its prices in reality, with the exception of a little premium on high-end new wax.

Simply put, this shop is a sports card collector's dream. I used to work within walking distance from it, and would hit it at lunchtime about once a month.

There isn't a single Magic card, Yu-gi-oh pack, comic book, beanie baby, or hot wheel to be found. Just wall-to-wall four major sports cards, autos, and memorabilia. Baseball cards, including HOFers, dating back to the 19th century, as well as early 20th century oddball stuff, are highlights for me every time I go.

The owners are exactly what you'd hope for; tough graders that also price everything at normal exchange value. Anything vintage that's a bit off-grade (EX or less) is regularly 10% off, and once you hit the register, they're likely to round down the price for you a little further.

On my last visit, they even gave me a little break on some very hot current wax. I am a repeat customer, but these guys will be fair and a little generous; they'll want to increase the chances of repeat business.

Interestingly, this shop is one of a network of three that runs up the Peninsula. The Belmont shop is also good, and does have a smattering of kid gaming cards, but the store is 80% sports, and they have a huge assortment of older wax boxes that are often at fierce discounts.

If you're a sports fan and card collector that happens to be taking a trip to the Bay Area to see a game, you have to add Stevens Creek Sports Cards to your sightseeing list. It's practically a card museum with affordable price tags and top-notch curators.

Temdee has been in the collectible business since 1976, and has been at the current location since 1991. The building is approx. 6000 sq. ft and is situated on the Black Horse Pike (NJ Route 42) in Turnersville, New Jersey. Business hours are: Mon-Fri noon to 8:00PM, Sat. 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sunday noon to 5:00 PM.

Temdee first opened in 1976 as a stamp and coin shop in Runnemede, New Jersey. In 1979 Temdee started to buy and sell baseball cards as well as other sports cards and non sports cards, and sports collectibles. These included yearbooks and programs, bobble dolls, autographed items, etc. In 1981, comic books were added to our existing store.  As Temdee continued to grow, they finally moved into their current home in 1991. It had been a small strip center with one large store and two small stores. They bought the entire center and made the two smaller stores a warehouse and used the large store for retail. Since then, Temdee has added collectible toys including Star Wars and Starting Line-Ups.

Much cheaper than All Pro, but the selection for everything is a lot smaller, as is the shop in general. 10 cent cardboard cases of cards, which is cool, though many of those cards are of the "we busted such and such expensive product for the hits, here are the base cards" variety. A few $1, $2, $5 bins, but nothing much in them (not even relics or autos), and no real hits to be found as singles. Decent amount of cases and packs at lower prices than All Pro, but again, selection isn't as nice. They do stay current though and have the latest stuff, and the owner was nice.

But it was a nice touch as they were some nice cards - way to go above and beyond in assisting the customer! He also offered me half off on the hits which was cool. Totally worth a visit.</map>
