To accurately rate this shop, I am going to talk about the four separate times I have interacted with the shop and its owners.
1st Visit - 5/5 Stars My first visit to this store was genuinely incredible. I walk into the store greeted by the lovely dog there, and a whole lot of product. Slabs, singles, sealed, and a warm welcome by the employees. I came in the store this day to trade in a card. They offered me immaculately competitive trade-in value, and helped me come to an agreement on what items I was trading for. I spent a few hours there that day, and enjoyed every second of it. Truly one of my most enjoyable card shop experiences, and when I left, I was already thinking about the next time I would be coming back.
2nd Experience - 4/5 Stars The second time I interacted with the store was at a card show. The owners take a chunk of their inventory and head onto a card show where they do what they do in the shop, buy, sell, and trade. They offered me 80% cash value on a card, which I immediately took. Incredibly quick and easy deal, and I was extremely happy to have worked with them. The only reason this experience was a four and not a five, was because it couldn’t compare to the perfect experience they provided in-store.
3rd Experience - 4/5 Stars The third time was again at a local card show. They offered me once again amazing trade value on my products, and we made a quick and enjoyable deal for me. This experience was only a four for the same reasons as the last time.
4th Experience - 1/5 Stars The last time I have interacted with the store owners/employees was through their instagram. I dm’ed them a few hours after the aforementioned show in the 3rd experience, because I was curious about selling some more cards to them. I was confused by their listed policies on their website so I took the chance to ask them some questions on it. I apologized profusely for asking many questions, but the person I was talking to seemed extremely impatient with me and almost angry that I was asking just a few queries. In the end, they said they weren’t confident that they would be able to do business with me, and ghosted me. I told them I understood, and about an hour later even sent a heartfelt apology to them, because I truly didn’t know if I was being difficult or not by asking too many questions. They read the message and didn’t respond.
The reason I’d like to point out all of these experiences, is because I want to talk about what the store does well, and where I feel they lacked a little bit. I genuinely felt more positively towards this store, before the instagram interaction. I fully understand that it is at anyone’s discretion to purchase or not purchase, but it felt to me as if they didn’t want to make a sale for other reasons (maybe upset from something previous unrelated to me, maybe was busy at the time).
I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt here, but that singular experience tainted the other positive experiences I had with the store.
Conclusion: My personal rating overall is 3 STARS Even though I may not shop there again, I still RECOMMEND you go to the store and give it a chance. I had an incredible in-store experience. I’d love to potentially go in the future if some things were changed.

The staff is genuinely passionate about cards of all types, and their enthusiasm is infectious! Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned collector, they’re always ready to help you find what you need.
The inventory is impressive, covering everything from the latest Pokémon sets to classic MLB collectibles and even some interesting card sets I never knew existed. I ended up doing a consignment with them to clear out some of my extras and the level of detail and work that George and his coworkers put into helping me sell them was truly amazing. I recently heard the shop will be hosting regular events and am stoked to visit during these times to meet other collectors!
Overall, this shop is a must-visit for any trading card fan. With a welcoming atmosphere and a vibrant community, it’s the perfect place to expand your collection and connect with fellow enthusiasts. I can’t wait to see what...
Read moreI go here often. I love this place and the environment. The staff is super friendly and personable. The prices are fair and usually even a bit below market price, which is nice. This spot is my favorite for Friday Magic Commander events too because it's a cozier space and it's easier to get to know everyone. I've introduced a lot of my friends to Magic thru this store, and now my friends also shop here regularly. Overall, the go-to card shop for our group. Really glad this place...
