From the Web*:
Baseball 365 is first and foremost a baseball and softball store — and a very good one. Opened in December 2010 by brothers Nate and Ryan Cousins in Burnsville, the shop was born out of a genuine frustration with the lack of quality equipment retailers in the Twin Cities staffed by people who actually knew the game. Over 15 years later, they’ve built a reputation as one of the best specialty baseball shops in the region, carrying top-line equipment from Wilson, Rawlings, DeMarini, Louisville Slugger, Marucci, Victus, and others — plus an on-site batting cage, glove relacing, glove break-in service, bat regripping, training lessons, and team uniform customization. If it has to do with baseball or softball, Baseball 365 has probably thought of it.
So why is it on a directory of card shops? Because Nate and Ryan are collectors too, and the cards and memorabilia section of the store has become a legitimate draw in its own right. Vintage baseball cards are a particular strength — one reviewer mentioned buying cards there for over eight years and calling it one of their favorite sports card shops in Minnesota. Old wax packs, baseball memorabilia, and collectible singles sit alongside the bats and gloves in a way that makes perfect sense given the store’s deep roots in the game. Their eBay store (under the handle `baseball-365`) extends the reach of the card and memorabilia inventory online for those who can’t make it in.
The Google rating is a remarkable 4.9 across 117 reviews — one of the highest of any store of this type in the metro. The feedback is consistent: knowledgeable owners who love talking baseball, excellent customer service, fair pricing, and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone from serious competitive players to parents buying their kid’s first glove. If you’re a baseball card collector who also plays or coaches the game, this is genuinely one of the best stops in the south metro. Just don’t be surprised if you walk out with a new glove too.

Our Take:
Considering our office is literally half a block away, it took us way longer to check out Baseball 365 than it should have. Primarily because of the fact that we knew it wasn’t a card shop first. That being said, they really do have a pretty impressive card setup in the store. They aren’t going to win out on volume of new releases on hand–I assume their allocation (if they have one at all) isn’t that high, but they definitely had some cool stuff on hand, including some “mystery boxes” that I may go back and check out. I was always a sucker for those at Shinders, and if they’d had hockey or football on hand I would have grabbed one for sure–but a bunch of their baseball ones had some cool cards from the 70’s/80’s on the box, and the tags claim that there are tons of stars in them…that may warrant going back for a test.
