Its amazing how toxic the pokemon community is. Undoubtedly this guy has the biggest pokemon collection in this part of NC from what I have laid eyes on. That in itself makes most of the collectors around shriek of jealously. (i have been in the market buying and selling for the past 8 years, what this man has is what I had always dreamed) But I will say, out of all the stores around, this place legitimately uses tcg to give you the best bang for your buck. Anywhere else you go you would literally get 15% or more LESS for what you bring in to sell to him. (although the tcg scanner can be finicky and not always give the best price, the scanner is a good basic tool instead of hand looking up every card out of the hundreds you might bring) I to be honest would not go anywhere else to sell. I have no even had the money to afford to buy, but I bet hes not charging 35-50% over ebay value like the otaku shop in hickory that also tries to buy at 30% value on tcg lowest even if its the damaged price. Sad sad but...

The owner and his wife are both knowledgeable and friendly. The additional staff is genuinely nice also. But that is not the purpose of this review. Yes, you must visit this store if you’re into Pokemon and/or a part of the TCG community. Yes, it is the best collection of cards, packs, decks, graded cards, graded packs, full sets, & general Pokemon memorabilia that I have ever seen with my own two eyes. But the reason you should visit is simple: Support a local small business. These guys are great! Highly recommended. It doesn’t hurt that you can also pick up a new four wheeler or outdoor toy simultaneously since the store is connected. Also owned by the same person I believe. And if you’re an out of towner - it is worth the drive. The QUALITY & customer service alone are worth it. Gas stations, fast food, and eat in restaurants all located within a mile of the store. Give this place a try. You won’t be...

Pokémonster is hands down the best place on the East Coast for all your collecting needs. As someone who recently got back into the hobby, I was on the lookout for a local game store (LGS) with a diverse product range and knowledgeable, passionate staff. Pokémonster exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the owner's patience and honesty. He answered all my questions, shared insights on current market trends, and genuinely loves the hobby. The store's product selection is exceptional, featuring sets from the early days of Pokémon to the latest releases, with a bit of everything in between.

Although the store is an hour away from me, it is absolutely worth the drive. The inviting lounge area is a great place to relax, open packs, watch Pokémon shows, and feel right at home. If you're a collector, make sure to visit Pokémonster – you won't regret it....
