CardsHQ and Candace Parker have set shop openings for November 14, 2026, adding stores near Detroit and in Charlotte. Parker will meet collectors in Charlotte. CardsHQ will accept PSA submissions during its opening weekend.

The Charlotte shop will feature WNBA cards, with sections for Hornets and Panthers cards. CardsHQ’s Michigan store will stock Pokémon alongside sports cards, other trading card games, supplies and memorabilia.

Parker joins Score More Sports in Charlotte

Basketball Hall of Famer Parker will own 50% of the new Score More Sports location. She is opening it with Wesley Hsu in Charlotte’s University City neighborhood. The address is 10210 Berkeley Place Drive.

Score More Sports also has shops in Greensboro, Salisbury and Winston-Salem. Parker collected cards as a child and has remained active in the hobby.

Her opening appearance runs from noon to 2 PM ET on November 14, 2026.

CardsHQ brings its store to Orion Township

CardsHQ’s opening events span November 14, 2026, to November 15, 2026. The Orion Township shop covers 13,000 square feet. Its address is 4846 S. Baldwin Road.

The store adds a Midwest location to a business with an Atlanta flagship. CardsHQ signed a 10-year lease for its Detroit-area shop.

Jalen Rose will meet collectors and open packs at 4 p.m. ET on November 14, 2026. Rose was part of Michigan’s Fab Five and later an NBA veteran.

CardsHQ will host a free trade night on November 14, 2026. The opening weekend also includes an outdoor block party. Collectors can bring PSA submissions to the store on either opening day.

What to do

  • Confirm how entry to Parker’s noon to 2 PM ET appearance will work.
  • Ask which PSA submission services CardsHQ will accept at its on-site drop-offs.
  • Check whether CardsHQ’s free trade night needs registration before arranging a visit.
  • Ask whether the Michigan block party has separate entry arrangements from the store.
