Slabspace Sports Cards & TCGS — Local services in Irvine

Review/Visit date: June 6, 2024

Slabspace is great! They opened up just a week ago and although their collection is short at the moment, I can see the potential that this business has for the near future.

I called this spot the night prior and although it was past closing time, they not only answered but offered to let me still come in past their working hours if i'd like to check out their wares. I decided to go the following day, but the offer was great.

Upon my visit, I was greeted by a young gentleman by the name of Michael. He was helpful and attentive. I primarily collect Pokemon cards, and at this time their shop was newly opened and supplies were low. They did however have quite a collection of NBA cards (saw a $3500 LeBron James slab) but that's not my field.

Michael let me know that they are in the process of learning the Pokemon scene, and that the focus was originally sports cards.

This was their inventory at the time:

Twilight Masquerade: Elite Trainor Boxes - $40.00ea Single Packs - $4.00ea

Temporal Forces: Elite Trainer Boxes - $40.00ea Single Packs - $4.00ea

Japanese 151: Booster Box - $115.00ea (retail for these are $78-$81 at this time due to the recent Japanese reprints flooding the market so these were technically overpriced) Single Packs - $6.00ea

They also had about 20 Japanese singles that i scooped up for only $1.00ea and one of these was a Masterball Reverse Holo Horsea which is well below market value.

Tons of potential at this shop and I will ABSOLUTELY be back soon!...
