Card Pavilion — Local services in Santa Ana

Mike, an older gentleman, was completely unhelpful—he couldn’t provide prices and seemed out of it. I visited twice, only to find the store closed with no updates. My wife and I spent four hours carefully selecting more affordable cards, only to be told that Mike couldn’t give me a price and that the owner would call me back in a week.

I followed up three times, only to be ignored. Finally, eight days later, I called again, and Mike told me they had put all the cards back. I had previously made an offer of $300—maybe they thought it was too low, but why not at least counter? Instead, they wasted our time.

I couldn't ask for anything more from a card shop! Nelson was very friendly and made my experience there very comfortable! My kids were with me so he tailored to their awesome experience also! He had a wide variety of collectibles there, spanning from sports to Pokémon cards. His prices were very competitive and reasonable to other shops I've visited. I'll for sure be making return trips...

Nelson is the Best! Very knowledgeable about any and all of the big hits or cards currently "in" during a specific time. His shop always has the latest and great packs out. Has anything and everything from sports cards, to TCG, i.e. MTG, Pokémon, etc. Bought tons of 2019-2020 NBA donruss and Panini boxes here's. Lots of hits!!! Highly recommend this shop for the first timer or life...
