Cravings Sports Cards & Collectibles — Local services in Monroe

Owner of the shop is very egotistical and clearly a bit insecure. They receive product at distribution pricing and resell above market. To be called a hobby shop and then proceed to try to kill the hobby is quite ironic lol.

regardless of their prices, the main issue is when we came in to sell some stuff off, we probably had well over $600 worth of etbs. We walk into the shop and see our friend there as well, we spoke to our friend because EARLIER THAT WEEK, we had made a deal to give him two etbs after we were done at the shop. Mind you, we had already spoken and planned this A WEEK BEFORE coming into the store, we set aside two etbs for them and he would get them after we were done.

The shop owner blew up, saying we need to get out the store if we are trying to sell people stuff. Our friend was clearly upset that the owner would embarrass us like that. We tried to clear it up but the owner was set on whatever he thought was going on and we have to leave the shop to “sell our stuff outside”. We didn’t even get to say hello first. The owner stated we cant come in here to discuss such things while other customers where in the store, it was just the four of us, and a dad and son who we also met at a card show the day before…

Thats it, he didn't even want to look at what we had because he was so hurt that we had already given our friend an offer. When speaking with other people who’ve experienced the same thing, I’m surprised more people haven’t written reviews.

This is what sucks with these kind of shops within the community, those who care and genuinely enjoy the hobby are shoved aside because of some greedy owner who will probably go out of business within the year, very...

Our experience here was phenomenal. We were in from out of town and wanted to see if we could find some pokemon sealed product, as the shops in our area were bone dry. Right when we walked in, we felt like we were old friends with the owners! Not only did we feel so welcomed but their selection was the best I've ever seen. Every set option, booster bundles, ETBs, promo packs, individual packs and single cards... you name it, they have it. We were allowed to browse and even go behind the counters to take a look at what we wanted. When we finally decided on a product, they even went in the back and brought out MORE so we could select the one we wanted from all of their stock. These gentlemen were so kind, they even offered us a donut hole from their breakfast box! This is a hidden gem and we will definitely be making this a normal stop whenever we are in town. Warms my heart to find places like this and more than happy to support...

I'm a late 80s/90s collector who got back into buying basketball again the last few years. I'm not from Monroe but saw the store and stopped in on a whim and had just enough loose cash on me to pick up an Optic Mega Box. Asked the guys if they mind if I ripped it there and hung out for a few and just chatted with the guys there.

It brought me back to the early 90's when I was a kid and would loiter at the card shop all day. It was great just chatting with them and doing the old card shop thing. I'll definitely make the drive up to Monroe again soon and next time I'll rip a few boxes!

REALLY great selection of...
