Reviews & Ratings for Kenmore Collectibles

Comfortable, No Pressure Sale

by robey one at Citysearch

I highly recommend Kenmore Collectibles if you are looking to sell items. One phone call to their store will validate all the good reviews that they have received.

I was recently looking to sell gold and silver coins. I called a few places and visited two stores. The first one I visited was a bad experience. The store and the owner was very disorganized and was definitely rushing me through the process. I had never sold coins before, so I wanted to feel comfortable with whom I was working with.....you should too...

I called Kenmore Collectibles twice. Each time on the phone, Kenmore Collectibles were informative and took the time to listen to my questions and answer them thoroughly.

When I went into the store, they once again were personable, patient and informative. If I am ever in the market to sell coins again (or sports cards, memorabilia) I would not hesitate to go back there. Highly Recommended.....

Honest Buyers of Gold Jewelry

by zahrakoko at Citysearch

I highly recommend Kenmore Collectibles if you are selling gold jewelry. With so many sleazy gold buyers in the market, this place is a breath of fresh air. Mike and Peter were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and gave me an excellent price.

Best Card Shop EVER!!!!!

by ljraymond at Citysearch

This is a great store. Very knowledgeable people. I stopped collecting, wanted to get back into the game and they were very helpful in suggesting product. The products they suggested were not the most expensive. They asked questions and are willing to go out of there way to help or get product they don't have (which isn't much). There prices are decent, NOT expensive. Overall one of the best card shops I have been to. Say hello to Dodger while your there!!!!

• Pros: Very helpful, Looks out for the customer, not just himself
• Cons: Parking

Great dealers and location!

by cnc13sm at Citysearch

I work in the downtown district and a pay a visit to the tea party once a week and sometimes 2 a week. For me its hard to go to card shows with my schedule, so when I found out about the tea party on Bromfield St I was quite happy I could keep collecting without using Ebay and worring about other shows. The guys there are very friendly and always give good advice plus you get to pat the dog for good luck before buying. I've been going here alot and I read a previous post and I would have to disagree with his opinion toward guys in suits and what they do when they rip open a box. Most customers are either tourists or people that work downtown. They are dressed in suits for a reason, maybe we should of changed our clothes before going there. What people do with there cards are their business. If they decide not to take the commons the tea party is willing to take them for set making it improves their inventory. If you present them with good business and in good character they will give a little back once in a while. These guys are highly recommended not only for what they have for the present but they have nice vintage as well. Alot of rear items that will make you remember things.

• Pros: Good Location
• Cons: Wish it was across the street from work

A jewel of Boston

by dani0100 at Citysearch

I work in the downtown area where JJ Teaparty is located and am very happy I'm able to pay them a visit once in a while to check out the latest sports cards, pick up some bargains, and be around one of the very last honest to goodness, good quality sports card shops in the country. Their prices on unopened material is very fair -- a few times I have found they've been within a few bucks of very large, discount online retailers. That's a pretty tought act to beat. I also like them because they have the occasional unopened wax box from the 80s or 90s, which is my favorite thing to see at hobby shops. Their supplies are very reasonably priced, and I know I can get whatever I need there at a price that's very fair. I'm not much of a singles buyer, but they certainly have a good collection of recent, and especially vintage stuff at what look like good prices (you will always do better on eBay, if that's your style, but sometimes you need instant gratification).

The owners are friendly and well informed, and I consider it a wonderful thing that they're still around in a day and age when card shops are fewer and further between than any other time. These guys are the closest thing I've come to the card shop experience I remember from when I was a kid. I hope they stay around for a long, long time.

Great shop for all your sports hobby needs!

by unfamiliar at Citysearch

Mike & Pete run a great shop. As I began getting back into the hobby, they were both extremely helpful to me and got me caught up with all the new changes that have taken over the card collecting hobby since I was a teenager. There would be times when my cousin and I would spend countless hours in there just talking to the guys whether it would be about baseball or current events. They are both extremely knowledgeable and courteous to any of the customers that enter their shop.

While you may find somewhat cheaper prices online for wax boxes, which is what I primarily buy, you can rest assure that they do not rifle through any of the packs or boxes and take out the highly coveted short prints or cut signatures. They give you a legitimate chance to catch one on your own, which is what I did on numerous occasions. I can't say that I've had the same luck online. On some occasions, they have even offered to "buy back" the pack or box for a price if you didn't get a good card.

Their selection is excellent...always trying to have the newest and most popular products that are on the market. They also offer a nice selection of singles and supplies for your collecting needs. Even if you aren't into actual card collecting, they offer a great deal of memorabilia such as autographed baseballs and jerseys to old magazines and programs.

The only thing tough for me is the location. Bromfield Street doesn't offer any parking of any kind so you really need to depend on public transportation unless you want to pay $12-20 for parking at one of the local garages or lots. But if you are shopping downtown or don't mind taking the T, this is the place to go for all your sports collection needs.

P.S. (Sorry Kevin and I haven't been in at all recently...been a little short on money as of late, but we will be back!)
