I want to warn families before shopping here. My autistic son saved his money to buy a pack of Pokémon cards from the Toy Pickers vendor inside Main St. Antiques. He was so proud to finally go trade his cards at a local shop — only to be told they were FAKE. Counterfeit when he went in to a real store that sells cards -- weeks later. The vendor reseals packs with knock-off cards, puts a tiny “reprint” label that looks like a price tag, and mixes them in with legitimate products.
My son was devastated. I really have NO clue what the owner of Toy Pickers gains from this --- money or an express pass to H*.
Main St. Antiques has strict labeling on other items, but somehow allows counterfeit Pokémon products to be sold to kids under their roof. This isn’t just disappointing — it’s misleading and unethical. Parents, be careful.
I hope Main St. Antiques does the right thing and stops allowing vendors to profit by deceiving children...
Read moreBought some Pokémon packs from them and many of the cards inside were very clearly fake. On some you can see that the text is pixelated from being a photo copy, and the rare cards that are supposed to be holo foil are just on normal card paper. I opened a SV Shrouded Fable pack and not only were all of the cards in Spanish and clearly fake, not all of the cards inside were even from the Shrouded Fable set. 4/10 were from the Temporal Forces set. Farigiraf ex was printed on holo paper, but you can tell someone tried to layer the text and the graphics themselves by the way the energy next to its move is so poorly cropped. It doesn’t even say ex on it. I provided a photo of what a real one looks like for comparison. My guess is they couldn’t find the right font for the ex part and gave up. The more you look, the more mistakes you see. I bought other packs that are probably fakes too, but this one is the...
Read moreThese guys have a lot of awesome vintage toys, but BE AWARE of their cards. They need to realize that kids come in to buy cards, while shopping with family members. I bought 2 packs, yes PACKS, of Pokemon cards. I only looked at the price, not the full sticker, so partly my fault, but the whole pack was reprinted cards, and a resealed pack!! I know they sell novelty reprint individual cards, but I never thought they would ever do a full resealed pack of reprinted cards!! Also, those resealed reprinted cards were mixed in with other REAL packs of cards!! If I could give 0 or 1/2 stars I would. I hate to say this, but because of this, I will never buy from Toy Pickers again!!...
