Triple Diamond Sports Cards & Collectibles — Local services in Eagan

The Good: Large modern store with a lot of staff and cool Pokémon related collectibles. Have single binders you can look through for rares which is always nice. They're kinda a "rip & ship" LSG with the whole camera set up in back. You may like that energy or find it cringe but it's how the market is. The Ok: Prices here are all fairly high here compared to TCG Player even factoring in shipping. At least for Pokémon, I have zero knowledge on sports cards ect. Seeing as of now scalpers are really ruining the hobby/market got to give some slack there though. The Bad: While they do buy Pokémon TCG for $ while most stores stick to only buying MTG, their system of payout is not remotely worth it. It's pretty much half of market place from what I've experienced and heard from others. Now $10 cash for a $20 card ain't too bad, but an offer of $500 on something worth $1,000 is pretty hard to swallow when anybody can sell on TCG Player or eBay. Dreamer's Vault has a tier system where the higher the cost of the card the more you'll get for it. Instead of just half. Made selling pricey MTG singles to them worth it. Would be nice to see something implemented here to actually entice ppl to sell to a brick & mortar store.

My Experience: Had a very limited card (only 2 on TCG 20 something on ebay sealed/open/or graded) Market price obviously skewed when there's maybe 1-2 sales of the item a year on TCGP. The last 2 online sales recorded on Price Charting were $1,500 which is still lower than cheapest card on market as of now, going for $1,699. Getting offered half of market price on $1,250 was just a waste of time going there. Put it on eBay and a day later got a local buyer for $1,500 cash. Note they don't haggle it seems cuz they didn't even attempt. (Also staff seemed nice but whatever app he pulled out looked way different than the typical ebay & had a bunch of old low 1% exception sales or literaly nonexistent postings of the card I was tryna sell for sale but a google search didn't show these any where. Like it was weird and sketch way of tryna justify a lowball hmm. The big 2 TCGP/eBay didn't show any of what he was showing nor...

Exceptional shop for all sports and tcg, being someone who does mostly pokemon Josh is my guy to go to. Insanely knowledgeable, easy to work with and is an absolute riot. He’s always happy to chill and chat while I shop in stores he’s one of the most accommodating guys I’ve ever worked with in the card world. The shop itself is incredibly clean, and everyone in there shopping is a new friendly face to chat with our shared passion in collectibles. I’ve personally made great friends there already and I’ve only been a few times. Being in Minnetonka there are so many stores between me and Triple and I will forever make the trek to continue shopping with them it’s quickly become my home store and I’ve done everything from buying, selling and trading cards as well as submitted several for grading. Josh has spent much time going through my cards with me before I submit for grading to ensure I’m not wasting time and money on submitting cards that aren’t worth it. Go check them out and experience their top tier services...

Ran like a whatnot account. Will not be using again. 4 issues. VERY LOW QUALITY COMPANY COMPARED TO REAL SPORTS CARDS OUT OF CHAMPLIN Sold me a repack. The card I pulled was a Paolo Banchero color blast. The “case hit”. The card got denied twice by eBay’s PSA authentication process bc the card had finger nail intentions on the card. *see photo where eBay turned it down and circled marks. The seal was still intact and card was never touched me. I can’t even sale the card anywhere unless I take a loss. It’s a $600-$800 card raw. Take multiple weeks to ship out cards. I’m reading comments that go unanswered from multiple people asking where cards that bought are being shipped out. Breaks are taking weeks and months to fill. I’ve bought into a break 3 weeks ago. No movement and when you ask questions you get no responses. They ignore comments asking when cards will be shipped out, if breaks can be refunded after weeks of...
