Yellowhammer Cards & Gaming — Local services in Chelsea

We were passing through Birmingham and sought out a card shop that would be open in the evening. We are very glad we decided to give Yellowhammer Cards and Gaming a try in spite of a few less than stellar reviews posted on Google mixed in with much positive feedback as well. We ended up first interacting with a very helpful associate and then spent most of our time at the shop with Jeff, the owner. Overall, the experience was stellar. We found Jeff to be extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and very fair. He generously shared helpful information, and his way of negotiating through three trades and one purchase was both inspiring and encouraging to our 12 yo grandson. We learned that the shop invests significantly in area schools and youth, and has hosted events geared toward encouraging the next generation of traders and collectors. We enjoyed our time here and heartily recommend Yellowhammer...

The ginger hair guy that works here (I suspect the owner), I ran into him coincidentally at Pokemon section at target 20min before I came to this store for the first time and ran into him here. This store is blatantly buying MSRP then reselling here.

What’s funny is I even looked over at him at Target and said, “scalpers cleaned it out sadly” to which he responded something along the lines as, “ yeah they always do.” Ya bud, you meant to say that YOU always do.

AL Tins at target were $29 here they’re $45, and they’re selling 151 and PE booster bundles for $75. And selling S&V base set packs for $7

These guys are worse than scalpers, if you truly love the hobby then stay away from them.

Edit: While I was in his store, I asked him, “Didn’t I just see you at target?“ He said, “Yeah...
