8151 trading card game shops
The pandemic-era rediscovery of a cache of old baseball cards led to the birth of a new business for 19-year old Aaron Amarant. After rapidly becoming one of the largest and most respected trading card dealers on eBay, AA Mint Cards last month celebrated the grand opening of their first real-world, state-of-the-art location at 9630 Stirling Road in the new Cooper Square Plaza. In just a short time it has become the area’s premiere one-stop shop for the buying, selling, grading, and consignment of trading cards of all kinds, from sports, to Pokémon, Star Wars, Magic the Gathering, and beyond. “During quarantine my dad pulled out a safety deposit box and found a Topps Wayne Gretzky rookie card from when he was a teen,” said Aaron. “We got it graded and I sold it on eBay for a few thousand dollars. That’s when the light bulb went off.” Father and son decided to combine their expertise – dad knew card collecting, and Aaron knew eBay – and launch AA Mint Cards as an online store. It’s a competitive field, but the team has their ways of finding great inventory. Said Aaron, “We search for hid- den corners of the internet other people aren’t noticing, athletes we feel are undervalued, things like that. It’s finding your niche and expanding from there.” Their approach has been astoundingly successful: Today, AA is an eBay “Top Seller” with over 4000 positive reviews and zero negatives. “We visited a trading card store in California, and people there recognized the brand from our t-shirts,” said Aaron. “Having that kind of worldwide reach is really cool.”
This is a family friendly place, our kids never want to leave and the staff have been absolutely wonderful with every fascination or question they have. It's also for the real collectors, they have a professional eye for quality in cards and their inventory reflects that. If selling, they are fair in what they offer and a better deal that most other card shops. Truly a gem of a store and I hope they stay around for decades to come!

A wonderful third space in the community. I started going here to buy board games. From there, we discovered it was an excellent place to hold our weekly ttrpg games. There are private rooms available for free, so long as they are not reserved. If you want to guarantee a private room reserving is an option, but even so, there's plenty of space beyond the rooms if they're all booked up. The service as a third space for the gaming community they offer Boise is invaluable, and thanks to that, I will be buying games and accessories from them whenever I can.
