Post Board Gaming — Local services in Findlay

First of all: Fantastic and welcoming environment with ample and diverse inventory of just about everything you'd expect in a collectible / gaming store. They also have lots of atypical board / tabletop games for people with less of an interest in collectible card games. There's legitimately something fun for just about anyone. My wife and I felt very comfortable in the store, and they accepted and engaged us both in pleasant conversation despite us being very new to the scene.

Second: Pokemon cards DO NOT seem resealed to me. I feel the need to post this after reading the last review (no disrespect intended to that individual). Like the previous reviewer, I'm also fresh to the collectible / gaming scene (after a long break). I've seen packs with messed up sealing from many different locations, including ones pulled right out of factory sealed booster boxes. The quality control is all over the place from the manufacturer. I've seen blister packs in big box stores re-glued completely out of alignment, only to open the pack to get Amazing / Secret rares.

I've bought several hundred dollars of Pokemon cards from Post Board and have not had a SINGLE instance where I felt bamboozled. The packs and boxes I've bought there perform on par with the packs and boxes my wife and I have purchased from all over the state and country, both in person and over the internet. I'd be way more sketched out ordering something from Amazon that was potentially returned, than I would ordering from an LGS like Post Board where employees are much more discerning.

The modern "chase cards" in Pokemon just aren't worth the time and effort for people to reseal en mass. I'm not saying it never happens anywhere...certainly I'd be a lot more skeptical of pack sealing on a Base Set 1st edition pack / box. I'm just saying that there's not enough meat on the bone, so to speak, for shop owners to pay employees hundreds of dollars over many hours to hunt for cards that are worth tens, or at most a few hundreds, of dollars. You're not going to pull a 1st edition Base Set Charizard from a pack of Chilling Reign...

On a final note: I am absolutely not a shill for this company lol. I work in the public sector in a completely different field not at all related to gaming. I've only been into Post Board three or four times, starting only a few weeks ago. They really impressed me though, and I felt strongly compelled to share and expound upon my much more...

Damn l see that people have left some negative coments and l can't say l have a negative thing l could possibly say !!! The Findlay location rules !!! L buy my supplies like 2 rowand 4 row boxes and sleeves and other stuff for my sports cards as well as my gaming cards and staff is cool he always goes out of his way when l come In to trade Pokémon or yu gi oh cards for more of the Pikachu cards l mainly collect and l always feel like he does right by me and l enjoy stopping in to shop at Post Board Gaming! Great selection and all the collecting supplies you could ever need !!! Prices are very fair even though it's locally owned and not a mega store at least l believe so !!! They usually have whatever l need and heck the one time he didn't have the box l wanted he gave me one of his used ones from the back of the store that was good as new for free !!! That's pretty friendly ln my opinion!!! Thanks Post Board Gaming l...

Looked online for nearby places that sell Digimon, I called the store to see if they had a particular booster box in stock and was answered with “check our website”. Upon searching their website it said they had it so I drove over an hour to be able to pick it up in person. I looked over their display and didn’t see the one box I’m looking for. So I double check my phone and it still says one in stock. So I ask the guy behind the counter and after 15 minutes and 2 phone calls he tells me it was a typo and they don’t have what I’m looking for. They didn’t even apologize simple said it happens and they’ve had a lot going on today. If you can’t do your job then just don’t...
