The Albuquerque area has 27 card shops across the Northeast Heights, Downtown and Old Town, the Westside and Rio Rancho, south into Valencia County and up to Santa Fe. Duke City Games runs five of them, three around Albuquerque and two in Santa Fe, and Magic singles are the core at its original store. Comic Warehouse opened in 1979 and says it was the first comic shop in New Mexico. On the Westside, CJ Sports, Collectibles & More at Cottonwood Mall runs monthly NFL, NBA and MLB box breaks. Each listing has the address, hours, what the shop sells and whether it buys cards, grouped by area.
