After reading the reviews my son and I were very excited to go to this shop for the first time. It was not a good experience though. There were a lot of cards out on the floor and I was told by the kid working that they were not to be touched because his dad hadn’t looked at them yet. Why are they are on the floor then? There were some good cards there too.

I ended up being there for a couple hours speaking to both Mike and Denise who own the store as well as 2 others (unfortunately did not get their names). They were gracious and patient enough with me with any and all questions I had even if some were repeat questions. I appreciated Mike being straight forward with the pros and cons of the hobby right now as it gave me a better understanding of how it goes and how I should go about my time as a newbie to the hobby. As long as this store is open, it will be my go to place going forward and now doubt should be for...
