Triple Cards & Collectibles — Local services in Plano

I hate to say this but I used to love this shop. I have bought so much pokemon product from here, easily over 2g's, but I am not a fan of the price offered on cards. I know most card shops offer anywhere from 60-70% of the actual card value for your cards, but this shop seems to fall well below that cap. I took over $1,100 of pokemon duplicates to sell here, and got quoted around $540. I figured since they were my spare cards, that It was fine an just wrote it off as it being an okay deal. A few months later, I returned with a bigger set of cards valued at $3150, and asked the shop if they where willing to buy this, but since I was a regular here I asked for 70% value of the cards. The employee told me that they were about to close and if I would like I could leave the cards there and they would quote it the next day. I didn't give it much thought as I had dealt with the shop a bunch and agreed. At this point, the shop called me back the next day, and offered a ridiculousquote of $1300. When I questioned this, they stated the condition of the cards were rough. I found this strange as I have opened all of those cards from packs, and would always immediately sleeve them. (This excludes 4-5 cards). I then rejected the offer, and took my cards back the following day. I also want to note, the employee told me that they can only offer a certain percent of they cards worth, and the owner told him this is non negotiable even for a regular customer. Overall, this expiriance left a sour taste in my mouth, and I will no longer be dealing with this shop.

This is just my personal expiriance with the shop. I would still encourage others to visit and for your...

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.” This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can...

I called asked twice for 2024 topps series 2 hobby. They clearly said yes. I get there no 2024. Drove 1 hour 2 hours round trip. Waste of money and gas. To busy breaking online another reason breakers are ruining the hobby. Never again all location are shady. One day and literally the next day the same box goes up 20 dollars. Good thing just save my money and order a psa 10 slab. Stay away from these stores. That have become breakers. Cherry picked boxes for their breaks. This is what i mean you guys are to busy breaking online. That walk in customers get no attention because you guys are to busy breaking. Example: I called asked specifically 2 times for 2024 topps series 2 hobby. Yall clearly said yes we have in stock. But yall are to busy with breaking online. That yall dont check current inventory. I drove 2 hours round-trip. For you guys to act all nonchalant. No worries in the world as long as the online breaks are going good. Thats what I mean. 5 dudes all around the breaking table no customer service for the walk ins. What ever customer service there is non existent with wrong inventory. All these triple ps if its the same owner. I literally went of a Friday for a hobby box. I go on a Sunday same hobby box gies up 20 dollars. A hobby box that has been sitting for about a year. Suddenly gets 20 dollar mark up. Stay away from the local card shops that have begun to do breaks. Most likely you will not hit anything if you buy a hobby box. As it clear the prefer breaking customers...
