PB Collectibles

5 star review

Great shop and even better owner! Paul was great not only talking sports cards but a great conversation about local venues and attractions. Plus, I pulled 3 LaMelos in two boxes from the store! Thanks Paul, we will be back soon.

When walking into PB collectables it was like walking back into my childhood. They have a great selection of cards in nearly every sport for very reasonable prices. The owner Paul is an amazing generous man who is very freindly and has great conversation with his customers. Me and my friends always felt welcome in the store. going to miss this store in Ireland. Thank You, Mark

Paul is as honest as they come in the Sports Card business. I bought a nice set of cards from him and I met him in person. He was nice enough to drive 75 miles to meet me and make my trip shorter to him. We met at a diner and conversed for over an hour. I feel like I’ve known him for years. Very truthful and up front. He even bought me my lunch. Highly recommend Paul for all your collecting needs.

This is an absolutely phenomenal card shop. My girlfriend and I were in Newport this past March and had a little downtime, so we searched for card shops in the area (yes, she did this willingly—she collects too. I know, she’s incredible). We found PB Collectibles a few blocks from where we were staying. When we started the walk, I had no idea it would become one of my favorite core memories. I loved the shop from the moment I saw the exterior: small, quaint, with a brick façade right in the heart of Newport. It’s one street over from Thames—far enough to avoid the chaos but close enough for true collectors. Inside, it felt cozy and intimate. When we arrived, an older gentleman was chatting with the owner, Paul, about an ‘86–’87 Fleer basketball set. My girlfriend and I waited our turn, flipping through the dollar boxes (which she loves to do). Once the gentleman left, Paul turned to us with a genuine smile—the kind that makes you feel instantly welcome. We ended up talking for three hours about everything from sports to life. The conversation was rich, engaging, and effortless. By the time we left for dinner reservations, I knew it was the highlight of the entire trip. It wasn’t just the best card shop experience I’ve had—it was one of the best experiences I’ve EVER had. All my stress melted away, and Paul made us feel like family or like reconnecting with an old friend. So while PB Collectibles doesn’t have walls of wax or mountains of singles, it trades the commercialization of the hobby for authenticity (at about 70% of comps, lol). Do yourself a favor and check it out. It’ll remind you why this hobby is so special.

If you’re looking for a great baseball card shop experience, then PB Collectibles is the place for you. A tremendous assortment of new and vintage cards is always on hand. And Paul, the owner, is very reasonable and easy to work with. And if you’re selling your collection, there’s nobody better. When in Newport, I always stop at PB collectibles
