Five stars doesn’t do justice for this special place! I stopped in today looking for a gift for a friend. I noticed that they had a great selection of Yankees and Beatles memorabilia and since my friend loves both I couldn’t decide which direction to go. So I asked a crazy question, “By any chance do you have something that combines Yankees and Beatles together?” Much to my surprise and delight, Scott pulls out a print of the Yankees “Core Four” walking along a crosswalk in the Flatiron district on NYC like the Abbey Road cover of the Beatles. The perfect gift!! What a great experience!

Scott is absolutely wonderful to deal with and the 3 vintage Al Kalines arrived in the exact condition that they were in the pictures. I’ll be dealing with him again in the future

First off I want to say what an amazing place if you haven’t been there and you’re in the process of looking for Sports Memorabilia, this is Heaven!! Scott, the owner is such a bright and knowledgeable man! This man took two hours of his time to explain the differences of Sports Memorabilia me being new to the market and trying to put a man cave together. He showed me the differences in each category from signed jerseys, helmets and the with the autographed photos. I’m very grateful.!! Being that this stuff is not cheap, making the right investment that I could be able to hand down to my children was very key to me.Scott takes a lot of pride in every single piece he has in his showroom. Everything has a story. His pieces are 100% back Up with certifications and authentications he takes a lot of pride in his work and in his memorabilia! Knowing that you’re going to spend money in this place, you will have a peace of mind to know that your memorabilia is 100% authentic, real & different!I live 30 miles away from this museum And let me tell you it’s worth the drive even if you have to drive, 100 miles away! It’s best to have an idea of what you want before you take the time to go out there, this place will drive you insane you just want everything! I was not pressured to buy, nor It’s outrageously priced. He’s pretty fair with his numbers.From this day forward, I will be purchasing all my memorabilia from him the piece of mind that you get is worth it. Thank you again for taking the time out. See you soon again and again. ?

Have to hand it to the owner. He helped my family find a Bill Buckner card even though it was buried super deep in boxes

I stumbled upon Cardboard Memories while bidding on one of his pieces on EBay and was pleasantly surprised when I received a personal message from the owner Scott Stimel inviting me to come in. I was so impressed by his confidence and honesty in his message that I grabbed my son the following day and headed over to his store.From the minute we walked in, we were immediately welcomed and greeted by Scott. I couldn’t believe the amount of memorabilia and unique items encompassing the space! I have never seen anything like this in my life and my son and I were HOOKED!!Cardboard Memories is an absolute treasure trove for any memorabilia enthusiast! As a long-time collector, I can confidently say that this store exceeded all my expectations.First and foremost, the selection here is unparalleled. From sports memorabilia to movie and music collectibles, they have it all. Whether you're a fan of basketball, football, baseball, or hockey, you'll find a wide range of autographed jerseys, balls, helmets, and trading cards from some of the biggest names in the industry. The store also boasts an impressive assortment of signed posters, photographs, and guitars from beloved musicians and actors.To be honest, the store and artifacts were amazing, but it was Scott and Karen that sold me! I felt as if I knew them for years and they were so friendly, knowledgeable and caring! Scott and I spoke for hours and his passion was unexplainable and he made us feel like we were visiting a museum with our own tour guide. He really cares about his craft, but must of all, making people smile while educating them at the same time. My son adored him and didn’t want to leave. We ended up buying five beautiful pieces and ordered a few more to be framed which they also do in house!Oh, and then there is Karen!!!! Karen and Scott act like siblings which makes them a fantastic duo!! They are hysterical but professional. Karen treated us like we were her own family as she personally wrapped our pieces in bubble wrap. They gave my son a free case for his autographed helmet that we did not even purchase there and ordered him a plaque for it without even mentioning anything. They really care about their customers even if you just visit.Scott has an amazing personality and loves bringing smiles to anyone who stops by his sports museum. Everyone needs to make a buck but that is not as important to him as keeping this industry, history and legacy going.What truly sets Cardboard Memories apart is the authenticity and quality of their memorabilia. Each item is meticulously verified for authenticity, giving buyers peace of mind that they are purchasing genuine and valuable collectibles. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to assist you in finding that perfect piece for your collection. They are passionate about what they do and it shows.The store's layout is well-organized and makes browsing a breeze. It's not just a shop; it's an experience. The ambiance is filled with nostalgia, and you can easily lose track of time exploring the vast array of items on display. Moreover, their prices are fair and competitive, considering the rarity and uniqueness of the merchandise.Needless to say, we were back in less than a week only to be greeted by the dynamic duo, Scott and Karen. They couldn’t wait to show us their new items and we couldn’t wait to hear all about the history! Karen framed some pieces right on site with beautiful high end frames with real glass. Of course we bought another two unique pieces and cannot wait to go back to pick up our other orders!!!Please take the time to visit Cardboard Memories so you too can meet and learn from a true historian!Brian & Jack W.

Amazing place. Scott stayed after hours just to sit and help me go through a ton of things and teach me a lot about the items and collectibles I have. Highly, highly recommend and can't say enough good things. Scott went out of his way and then some to help and truly showed how much he cares about what he does.

WOW .... What an amazing place ! I am so happy I brought my 7 year old son here. Scott is such a nice guy and has so much knowledge in this field. He went above and beyond to make sure my son had a great experience and shared so much information with him. Me, my wife, and son will never go anywhere else for sports cards or memorabilia ! If you are looking for a special one of a kind gift for someone or yourself that is movie, sports, or entertainment related, do not go anywhere else. Go see Scott & Caren !

My wife and I took our 2 grandkids (ages 12 and 9) to see if the store was still open at 6:20 on a Saturday evening. Sign said it closed at 6:00 but the owner Scott was still in there cleaning up and getting ready to go home. He politely said take your time and look around. We spent 45 minutes in the store. He spoke to our grandkids and shared so many wonderful stories with them. He was so kind and caring to my wife and I, but more importantly with our grandkids. He never rushed us out of the store. We bought each child a few pack of cards, which he discounted and then on his own gave both kids 2 very nice cards for free too. the kids enjoyed every minute! Scott treated us all fantastically and we will be regular customers whenever we visit our children. He has the best items I have ever seen, felt like a trip to Cooperstown but with all sports!! I highly recommend the store and enjoy the history lesson from Scott at the same time.

Scott did a great job on getting two custom jerseys framed up for my den. He was very helpful in also obtaining a jersey using his network of other collectors. Professional and reasonable on price with a lot of experience. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again Scott and the team at cardboard memories

I have known Scott Stimell for over 20 years and consider him one of the very top professionals in the hobby. This assessment is based upon his expert knowledge in a number of crucial facets of sport memorabilia collecting (history and scarcity of artifacts, current value of items in the hobby, trends in the industry, ability to locate collectibles from his large contact network, etc). He has helped me build my collection over the course of 2-decades. I can always turn to him for advise about a number of issues in the hobby and he is willing to provide his time and talent to answer my questions and/or concerns. His passion for his craft and his integrity in dealing with his customers are A++; rare qualities that are unmatched among his peers in the hobby. Whether your budget is large or small, Scott will provide you with his expertise to meet your needs.
