About Us

About Paul James Sports & Trading Cards

We're a sports card shop in Clydebank, inside the Co-op Department Store, run by collectors who would rather talk about a Russell refractor than almost anything else.

What we're about

Raw singles. That's the heart of it. Plenty of shops chase sealed boxes and the lottery of the rip. We would rather help you find the exact card you're missing, at a fair price, packed properly and posted quickly. Formula 1 and football come first, with the rest of the sporting world close behind.

What we're building

The biggest raw singles range in Scotland, searchable by sport, team and player, so you can find your driver or your club in two clicks.
Complete Your Collection pages for every base set we stock, so filling the gaps in a binder is one order, not twenty.
Graded and premium cards for the serious collector, plus a consignment service so you can sell through us.
Accessories that protect what you've bought, and sealed product as our supplier relationships grow.

Why buy here rather than on eBay

Same cards, same seller, no marketplace fees built into the price. Every raw card ships in a penny sleeve and toploader inside a rigid mailer. If a card isn't as described, send it back for a full refund. Full details on our shipping page.

Trade your cards for furniture

Our sister business, Paul James Home, is a furniture and flooring showroom in the same building. Trade a collection towards a new bed, sofa, rug or floor. One collector has already walked away with a £1,000 bed package. Details on our trade page.
