I'm a collector of pokemon cards for pure nostalgia. I found this store while visiting St. Augustine and man, I was not disappointed. Super friendly staff and patrons made this experience even better, especially when some of the other customers handed out free cards to the little kids. There are tables set up for players of all ages and a gated play area for smaller kids to play or watch TV. They had a very popular mystery card dispenser by the front door that only takes quarters. There were refreshments that could be purchased near the counter. There are many card binders from different eras to skim through, as well as a vast collection of graded cards behind the counter.

Read moreThis shop isn’t just a store you go to buy Pokémon cards, it’s a shop you visit to have the ultimate Pokémon experience. My son started out as a Pokémon card collector. After visiting this store he wanted to start learning how to play and participate in the tournaments, which he had his first one this past Saturday. While he didn’t win, this store made the experience amazing and everyone had a great time.
My knowledge of Pokémon was limited to what I could learn from Pokémon Go but since I’ve been taking my son to this store I now too know how to play and might even participate in future adult competitions, for fun of course. The staff is very friendly and always willing to answer questions and guide you in the right direction weather you’re collector and/or a player. And to top it off they have a...
