Verified Company
Has a wide selection of cards. It's so much fun to walk in and you never know what you're going to see next. They're constantly getting new inventory in. Also is a great place to play the card games as well as collect

Hey Ryan! Thanks for the great review!
I come in here a lot in my free time and it’s always a great time. Whether I come in to buy or just chill and chat with people, they always treat me well. The staff is great and they treat me like family when I come in, and I never fail to have a nice time when I stop in. This place has become my comfort hangout spot, will always stop here!

Hey Riley! Thanks for this amazing review. We love our core customers and cant wait to see you again soon!
Honestly worse than scalpers because they get their sealed product for way cheaper and charge market prices - the greed in this economy is crazy. They aren't terribly well run either - say they're always buying but if the one employee that knows it in the store isn't there they won't touch it as if you can't just look on a computer and do research on your own. I'll stick to getting my supplies on Amazon and driving out of town to play the games I love.

Hey Shawn! We know market price for TCG products can be very frustrating. When we can help it, we're always under that market price or at least we're the best price in town. We've been giving our league players better pricing on products and have been able to lower the prices now more than ever. Also, with how many products we have, its impossible for every employee to know EVERY product efficiently. Its always best to call when you have trades other than Pokemon, Magic, or sports singles. We know why you're upset, and we understand why. Ask for Alex the next time you're in store so we can discuss further!
Amazing store. Selection was top tier and literally couldn't complain about the pricing. They had boxes and packs for every budget from low end to high end. They had the fun rips you don't expect to see they had the crazy expensive stuff you also rarely see. Very helpful staff will be a new favorite spot for me and my wife. Sports, lorcana, pokemon, magic, other various tcg they had it all and in a beautiful store I didn't even start to dive into all the value boxes they have too. They even comped a card I was already comfortable buying at the price for my wife to make sure it didn't go drop crazy or anything. If I could rate higher I would
Hads a variety of trading card games. Minimal boardgames for display or playability.

Thanks for the review Yue! We try and stock as many board games as we can, and always have a suggestion ready for anyone needing anything we don't stock. Next time you're in the shop ask one of our employees and they can point you in the right direction!
Great experience! In the process of moving, I came across a shoebox of vintage Pokemon cards from my childhood that I had forgotten about. I took them into Coulee Cards & Gaming to sell the valuable ones, then donated the rest to the library's Pokemon card program. Alex, David, and Tub helped me sort through them and give me prices they could offer... so fast! I was in and out in less than 20 minutes! Alex was very transparent about the logic behind the prices they were offering me, making me feel confident that I was getting a good offer, even though I'm not an expert on the subject at all -- he could have low-balled me and I would have been none the wiser! I could have made more on the cards by going the private sale route, but I was looking for a low-effort, low-friction, quick, one-and-done process, which is exactly what they provided me! Rest assured that they will treat you fairly if you find yourself in a similar situation! Strongly recommend!
I usually only went there to get higher priced MTG singles. Spent a lot of money at that store. On too many occasions, I would ask to see their Near Mint or Lightly played priced singles in their display case, only to discover creases, bends, water damage, deep scratches or other issues with the card that would lower the condition to Heavily Played or Damaged. One time, I discovered a $80 card in their case was a fake. When I came back a month later, the fake card was back in the display case for $60. Just carelessness really. I'm not convinced they even know how to authenticate MTG cards, especially when I'm showing the employees how to do it. I'm convinced someone who doesn't know any better, either has or will get ripped off due to their poor grading/inspection practices. I would hope their QC process is better for Pokemon or the sports card stuff. I don't know though. Most interactions with the employees are meh, I say most, because I have had great customer experience with one employee, every time I've dealt with them, but that's it. The last straw was them trying to gouge me on a trade. Just felt icky. Buyer, beware. Also, I was sick of being called "boss" all the time.

Hey Radio Scans!
We're very frustrated that both of our Jeweled Lotus' were fake. We immediately ripped both in half upon finding out they were proxies. As a Hobby store its impossible for all of our employees to be proficient in all departments. One of our other TCG or Sports employees must have boughten a collection with a few fakes, it happens.
Conditioning cards is pretty subjective and we try to be fair when pricing a card. We also tell every customer we will match TCG market if the price changes, or if we think the condition is priced wrong. On the flip side, if someone is going to use a jewelers glass to be hyper critical on our conditioning, we're never going to agree on the condition. In our area we are generally known as the fairest store with trades, pricing singles, conditioning, and selection.
Our employees are friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our customers find what they need! We're sorry you had a few bad experiences.
