Low trade in values. They only offer 50 percent value on brand new cards. Stay away. The only offered me 113 dollars for well over 400 bucks worth of cards

Hey Nikki! Like we discussed in store, we already have 3 copies of your higher end cards. We typically pay out 65% in store for these (cards valued $50-$100), but since we have a back stock of these singles we had to offer 55%. The other singles we priced to condition, to which you disagreed. We suggest taking your singles to a card show, or listing them online if you are looking for that 80-100% value! Thanks for stopping in!
Stopped by on a road trip, huge store with a serious selection. They had sports, Pokemon, magic, Riftbound, Gundam, and various other games.
Clean, friendly, and clearly passionate. I would recommend this stor to anyone, either traveling through or locally.

Thanks for stopping in! Glad you enjoyed our store!
Fantastic place. Went looking to fill out a collection from their bulk cards. Happened to cross over with one of their events. The group involved were very kind and inviting. Honestly had a lot of unexpected fun.
I didn't really browse the wider selection outside of the bulk I was shopping for. However there is a wide selection of most (because im not legally allowed to say all) your TCG needs. Will most certainly come back when I return to the area.

Thanks for stopping in and digging through our cards! Glad you had a great time! See you soon!
Went in to sell my cards and the worker calculated the value a few times, each time it was a lower dollar amount and then when he handed me the money, he didn’t give me what he stated.
When he looked at what I had, he stated that comp would be 50% for all the English cards that I had. He looked at conditions of a lot of what I had listed and no comment was made. Then I mentioned I had a few Japanese cards to sell as well and he mentioned that they do 40% for those since they aren’t as valuable. Which I was fine with. But then he tallied everything together and sold at 40% just because of the 250 plus cards that I sold, 30 of them were Japanese. I would’ve made more money just by donating the Japanese and comping all of the English at 50%. Then when I got the money he shorted me $10. I am from out of town and wanted to get back home.

Hey Craig! When we value a collection of cards we have to check condition and recent sales. Sometimes when double checking cards we can notice damage or a different (lower or higher) sale of that card. If you stop back in or give us a call we can go over your trade for better clarification! Thanks!
Every location is clean and the items are taken care of with passion. I played sports and love sports memorabilia. From signed jerseys(Hull), baseball post card(Schmidt), signed basketball(Cheeks)and a few small things(Topps, UD boxes) I gotten everything from the EC store. I just wish there was a bit more 🏒 stuff. Other than that, it's worth the trip to any location just to take you back to our past time.
Be careful with this location. I was shopping Magic The Gathering cards and heard the representative boast about getting cheap cards from a customer and flipping them for $100+ profit. Their trade values are harsh, go find another provider where the trade in value is 85%, not 50 - 55% of TCG Player value (This is what they use for comps).
Edited to address the owner's comment below:
My friend brought in graded cards and she was offered 50% of what the guy quoted them at. You don't address the fact that you have an employee boasting, in the store, about scamming a customer. Next time I go in, I'll record audio in my purse and send a copy of the proof these employees are making your entire company look like scum. Also, using generally before FAR BETTER means nothing. If you use a website and have these so called set percentages, there should be consistency. I'm not trying to open a card shop, I can care less about your logistics. Sellers/traders beware.

Hey Lady Shenzii! We pay 45-55% for $1-9 cards and up to 60-65% for higher end Magic trades. This is generally FAR BETTER than any other store in our area. We also give every customer our best advice when they're looking to sell/trade their cards. If we think they're better off selling online or on Marketplace, we tell them to do so! Feel free to stop in and we can better explain the logistics of running a Hobby Shop with 7 locations and 80+ employees!
