Had an amazing experience selling a small handful of cards to Ideal. Everyone was friendly, and their selection of stuff to buy is great. If you're a 90s kid, they are definitely you're place to visit. They are not just geared towards modern eras, they have them all, and that's what I love about them. Can't wait to go back and buy some cards.

Five stars aren't enough for Ideal Baseball Cards and Coins! I've been collecting for years. This is one of the most well-stocked and welcoming shops I've ever visited. The selection is top-notch, with an impressive variety of sports cards and memorabilia, including a huge amount of vintage items. The owner, Mike, is the real MVP here. He's so easy to work with and genuinely passionate about the hobby. This is the place to go if you're looking for anything from new products to autographed items. A visit here is a home run, especially if you're a Reds fan!
This was such a gem of a find. If you are into cards or coins, definitely recommend heading there. We had a few cards along to sell and they were very fair. We also found some to add to our collection. We truly enjoyed the folks working in the store as well as all of the everything they have!
The guy seems very knowledgeable but he honestly ruined my day with how he quickly combed over the cards I spent all night going thru picking out what I thought might be worth something. Haha. I dont know anything about cards. There were a few i wish he would have atleast talked about more and educated me more on things maybe. Not his job, but it would have helped me maybe not waste his time in the future. Well I guess my stuff is basically worthless and coming here was a waste of my time... I know nothing more than when I came here other than my cards were a waste of his time and so was i. Really fun experience.. Glad I spent 25 minutes driving over here in traffic to spend a total of maybe 60 seconds in the store. Was made clear I wasted my time coming here. So I wont do that again. Had a couple thousand more cards... Guess ill just burn them all, because if anything i know less about cards after my experience. I can't be mad at him, but I can't say I enjoyed my experience.
Great shop. So much to look at and so many options from vintage to modern. Owner is excellent and is willing to make deals.
