Five stars!My 8 year old son is a sports fan, and while on a trip to Chicago his one request was to find cool new sports cards.The experience at Tim’s lived up to all expectations, and Tim himself patiently helped Jake find the perfect cards. Here’s to a wonderful small business, and making our day in Chicago very special! (Tim - he got Justin Fields in the pack you recommended!!!). ?Jake and Lindsay Odvody

My 10-year-old is baseball obsessed and recently got his first signed card in a random pack of Topps baseball cards. Jose Canseco, baby! My son has described the moment he came across the signed card as maybe "the best moment of his life" and continues to stress how rare it is to get a signed card in a pack of Topps. I don't know if that is true, but it's charming. He also told me that he opened the pack in the shop and whoever was working at the time told him that he was super lucky and gave him a heavy duty plastic case to put his special card in for free. My guess is that a plastic card cover costs less than a dollar, but the interaction and kindness of the worker made me feel compelled to leave a review. Baseball is magical and I love the community it inspires. My son is asleep with his Jose Canseco card (lol) and we definitely will be back, and thank you to that nice employee.

Tim & his mom are super friendly. Like their 90's cards. Great shop to browse through.

We take vacation every year to Chicago to watch the cubs play. There are so many fun things to do and we love the pizza. This last time there in august we decided to look for a sports card shop. We found Tim’s and made the trip from downtown to his shop. We spent a decent amount of money there not because we only like cards but it made it a fun family experience. Tim was very informative and helped everyone there and showed no favoritism. Any cards we were interested in he pulled out of the case and held back for us until we were finished shopping. His selection was very vast and had some very nice cards at varied price ranges. I told him I was a big David Robinson fan back in the day and he pulled out for me some hidden treasures he had. He helped my son buy a very rare pristine rated card and we left there feeling like two kids instead of one lol. We went back again on our way back to the airport and ended up buying more.It was one of the most fun things we did while we were there.I saw a review about Tim’s mother saying she was less than polite. Let me tell you my experience with Tim’s mom as I spend hours there. She was nothing but kind and excited for us. We talked about nice places to eat and she even gave us some insight on types of food we like. As we were ready to head back to the airport (we didn’t really want to leave) we asked his mother for directions and for a restroom. She took the time to walk us out and show us the neighborhood and where there were nice clean restrooms. She also showed us the bus stop we wanted to be at for the airport. There may have been a misunderstanding with the person who left the bad review or maybe the person thinks too highly of themselves. And everyone can have a bad day but overall if someone were to spend any amount of time with Tim and his mom as I have, you would see they are passionate about their business and really set out to make you happy if that is possible.P.S. I have never left a review before for any business but I felt it was important in this case as we left there with great fun and great relationships.

Tim and his mother are awesome. Tim was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions. You feel like a kid in a candy store great selection of all different sports cards.

Probably one of the best card shops around me, I live in the Lakeview area and just recently got into cards. When I walked into Tim's I was greeted by Tim and his mother, they were very helpful and gave me some great advice on cards. I will definitely be making regular visits to this card shop. Tim and his mother are wonderful, spent almost two hours chatting about Chicago, pizza and sports cards.

I've gone in a couple times now and it was such a fun and pleasant experience each time. Tim and his mother are welcoming, friendly, and joys to talk to. They also have a fantastic selection of singles, packs, and boxes. Everything I could want in a card shop, I could not recommend it more!

I was in town for the weekend for the bears game. Decided to stop in at Tim’s Sports Card store! I walked by and noticed they hadn’t opened yet, I went on. I was halfway down the street they approached me kind heartedly offering to go into the shop since they were running late. That is excellent customer service!The owners are super nice and personable. The prices are extremely fair and intact with market value. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the Chicago area! I will definitely be back in the future!

Just paid my first visit to Tim’s this afternoon. I couldn’t have more positive things to say about my experience! I felt immediately welcome by the staff and was impressed by the many options I had to choose from. 10/10 experience.

Tim is great however his mom is off-putting and inappropriate. I've been to the store now two times, and it has been a negative experience each time.
