Guardian Cards and Comics — Local services in Saint Albans Town

Edit: This card shop has gone extremely down hill in recent months, i’ve visited a few times since summer of 2024, Complete switch up from my last review in 2024. Not even gonna bother coming back again. Rather waste my time somewhere else. I’m asking about cards to buy and going by their sticker price was market but the guy kept adding $100 to this card, $50 to another card, $60 to the next card on top of the sticker price. I asked why you’re doing that and he just said “these cards have been here for months” and kept laughing ? ok then sell them .. but don’t adjust the price $60-$70 over market as the employee and then laugh at me about it.. like what are you gaining trying to sell it over market?? And then be a dick about the pricing? Especially when you guys bought these in at 50-60%. That’s why it’s still sitting, bc your acting like greedy assholes. I can’t believe a shop like that operates successfully. I’ll never bring any more money to your shop again. Could’ve had who knows maybe a few hundred or even an extra thousand in sales today but nah your employees were acting weird af....

This is a pretty cool shop, its huge with a large variety of items. Tons of Pokemon, Magik, and Weiss Schwarz cards. They also have a large selection of singles which are decently priced. Plus alot of random things like plushies, candies, and such. I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for pricing. Firstly they have the price tags underneath the items which is a good 6+ feet back from the counter and impossible to read. So you have to ask for each item which is pretty irksome. But it's the actual pricing I'm not a fan of. I'm used to card shop prices, they gotta make money so of course it'll be upped a bit, but it seemed more than just a bit. Items you can get anywhere for $20 is $40+, that's an unreal jump. This is the same with many items, atleast Pokemon which is my thing. Pricing is just too inconsistent but it's good good for quick fun. The guy that helped us wasn't into Pokemon but he was great and super helpful, it was fun to learn about Magik. Plus I'm pumped to find a large selection of Weiss Schwarz like the 10th...

Verily, I must bestow upon this emporium of gaming treasures the highest accolade! Five stars doth pale in comparison to the wondrous experience I hath encountered at this noble establishment.

In mine quest for knowledge of the illustrious realm of Magic the Gathering, I was graced with the presence of the staff, whose wisdom and guidance did rival that of the most erudite scholars of yore. With the eloquence of a poet and the patience of a saint, the staff did illuminate the arcane mysteries of this venerable game, as if Shakespeare himself had descended from the heavens to impart his sagacity.

The selection of cards, like a vast tapestry woven by the Fates, didst enrapture mine senses, whilst the ambiance of camaraderie amongst fellow enthusiasts did warm the cockles of mine heart.

Thus, I doth declare with utmost sincerity that this establishment is a veritable haven for aficionados of the trading card arts, and the staff, a beacon of enlightenment amidst the sea of...
