k0s Card Shop — Local services in Avon

​I visited k0s Card Shop recently to sell three high-value Pokémon Special Illustration Rares, which I was considering for professional grading. My experience was deeply disappointing due to a severe lack of professionalism regarding the handling of collectibles. ​The primary issue was the gross mishandling of the cards. I presented all three professionally secured in individual penny sleeves and card savers. I turned away briefly, and when I looked back, two staff members had completely removed the cards from their protection and were holding them with bare hands. ​For any card intended for grading, this is unacceptable and demonstrates a fundamental disregard for a collectible’s condition and value. ​Additionally, the initial service was dismissive, and the subsequent card assessment used questionable claims (e.g., unseen "printing lines") to justify an offer on only one card. I immediately collected my cards and left. I cannot recommend this shop to serious collectors who are concerned about the integrity and security of their raw,...

Mostly positives here. I’d say it’s my second favorite card store behind Valkyrie’s Vault. Check out the pros and cons below:

Pros: I LOVE that the cards are organized by set. It makes it easy to go through both rares and bulk.

They have a discount % depending on how many cards you buy which is awesome.

They have a great foreign section which is often overlooked in other card stores.

Decent table setup for games and game day events

tablet allows you to search inventory they have. This can be helpful for some.

In the binders, cards are organized by set # so it’s easy to find them on the tablet and in the binder and then see the price.

Cons:

Pricing was a bit higher, especially for sealed product.

There’s an older male who doesn’t have the best customer service vibe working there compared to the others in the shop. There was an older female that was super nice though and helpful.

It’s not super clear where the line is between employees only area and open to look...

k0s Card Shop is hands down one of the best card shops I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a clean, well-organized space filled with an impressive selection of Pokémon cards, sealed products, and accessories. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, there’s something here for everyone.

What truly sets this shop apart, though, are the owners. Their passion for the hobby is obvious, and they go out of their way to make every customer feel welcome and valued. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to share tips, answer questions, or help you find that perfect card for your collection.

It’s rare to find a shop that delivers such a perfect blend of professionalism and community. k0s Card Shop has become a staple in the local card scene, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you’re looking to buy, trade, or just chat all things Pokémon, this is the...
