MISSION STATEMENT

America’s Pastime is a storefront sports card business since 1989, selling vintage & current baseball, football, basketball and hockey cards, hobby supplies, autographed sports items, sports gift items and sports memorabilia with our Bergen County store location since 1989 in Fair Lawn, N.J.

WE BUY CARDS & SPORTS MEMORABILIA !!

We sell sports cards from all major sports from the Vintage years through the present day. We also carry packs and sets of all sports cards. Our vast inventory includes all years of vintage sports cards from the Tobacco era and through the’30’s,’40’s,’50’s,’60’s,’70’s through current day in baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards and hockey cards as well as sports autographs, vintage sports memorabilia and non-sports cards. But our focus has always been the vintage baseball cards from the Tobacco era through Pre-War baseball cards to the ’50’s, and all sports cards from the ’60’s and ’70’s.

America’s Pastime thrived in the late ’80’s and early ’90’s, survived the tough times of the 1994 strike year and the few years afterwards. The comeback year of 1998 with the Sammy Sosa/Mark McGwire home run chase brought the hobby back and we thrived again for a few years until the 9-11 attacks. Today, we rely on our steady customers from our store location in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. Our regular customers from all over buy vintage sports cards, sports memorabilia and sports autographs from our web site and those that we meet at baseball card shows across the country keep us going and we appreciate all of you.
