Pioneer Sports Cards in Cooperstown, NY

Full disclosure: this is my father’s store. He opened it over 30 years ago, just before I was born. I was raised in that store. Catfish Hunter held me as an infant in that place. There is no baseball to me without Pioneer Sports Cards. My dad, Mark, has lived and breathed baseball his entire life.

This by far is my favorite store in Cooperstown. Mark is super knowledgeable and always has great items in the store. I’ve included just some of the plaques I have purchased over the years and my prized Braves 1995 WS replica ring. My wife and I visit Cooperstown every year and Pioneer is always on the top of our list.

If you are looking for a specific card or player and in need of knowledgeable staff, this is the place to go. I mentioned someone that played 22 MLB games and the staffer found 3 cards for me!. I was more than shocked, surprised and impressed. For the diehard baseball card collectors, this is a must.

Saw a piece there that I loved. Was too big to fly back with me. They shipped it to me instead. Everything went great! Pleasure to deal with.
