My son and I drove about an hour to go to Ideal for a JSA event that was happening there on a Saturday. I had called the store earlier in the week to get some information and the person on the phone was super friendly and helpful and gave me all the information I needed.We got there and it was a little chaotic because a lot of folks were getting items authenticated, but after getting our bearings and dropping our item off, we looked around the store. There are a lot of singles, packs, autographs, jerseys, etc. My son wanted to get a few packs so I asked Alex (I think he's the owner?) for a little help and we ended up with a pack of hockey, a pack of baseball and a pack of football cards. He didn't push the more expensive stuff and advised my son to "buy what makes him happy" and to not worry about trying to get rare cards. We were already thinking that way as well, so it was awesome to hear it from Alex as well.If it wasn't so far away from me, I would definitely frequent the store A LOT more. I know we'll be up that way more during the hockey season, because we travel a lot, so we'll pop in when we're in the area.For me it was like I was a kid again looking around at all the cards and cool items. It was nostalgic for me.Thank you for being so nice to me and my son and making it a great experience.

The owner took time out of his busy day to help me with a project I was working on when money for his shop wasn't even involved. It takes a special kind of person and business to do something for someone else when you aren't expecting anything in return. I can't thank him enough!

This place is awesome! I came in for the first time with my daughter, and he showed us the most upmost respect. I have found my local card shop for all my future purchases.

"Here she comes with her almost ideal eyes And her flawless skin and her petulant pout" (Elvis Costello) As my de-cluttering mission continues, I brought five baseball cards into IDeal hoping to sell them. I knew the proprietor was a pro when he produced a magnifying glass to examine every square millimeter of three cards. This is how he discovered a small patch of "paper loss" on my 1972 Wilt Chamberlain Laker card, and that was enough to squash any interest in the card. He also DQ'd my two Barry Bonds rookie cards for a general lack of interest. But he was interested in going forward on the other two cards - an autographed Catfish Hunter and a 1982 Baltimore Orioles future stars card featuring Cal Ripken. I had done some pricing research so I had an idea what to ask for, and was thrilled to see that his valuation was $2 off from mine. So we made a deal on these two cards for a very fair price. The store is crammed with sports cards, and sports and pop culture memorabilia. FYI -you will be asked to wear a mask when you enter the store. No problem for me, that's his right as the store owner.

Owner is EXTREMELY kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great selection of cards and memorabilia in a clean and organized environment. He went above and beyond to help us and answer all our questions. Will recommend this place to others and will be back again. Thank you Alix and IDeal Cards!!
