The place had a huge stock of pokemon, yugioh and even one piece cards. From boost packs to booster boxes. I like the environment and the staff were really friendly and informative. I would definitely come back and suggest people to check it out.

Went inside with my mother and bought a Lost Origin Elite trainer box and 4 vivid voltage packs, but the worker was so kind and gave us a 5th one for free because we had waited for awhile to be served. Probably one of the nicest workers ever, thanks a lot!

I have been shopping here for about 3 years now; went from Pokemon to One Piece. Vegan, Rueben and all the other staff are some of the best and most knowledgeable people I've ever met. They know a lot about every card game and have a HUGE selection. Yugioh, Pokemon, One Piece, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Grand Archive to name a few. Booster boxes, booster box CASES, loose packs, card sleeves (Dragonshield, brand exclusive, etc). Their preorders are the best thing to ever happen. Obviously one piece is almost impossible to find for retail, but be on the lookout and be diligent because they had EB-01 for $75 and OP-04 for $80 at some point. Overall best card shop I've been to, and would highly recommend for players and collectors alike. P.S. their buyback rate for store credit is 80% (CRAZY)

Best card shop in the world. Recommend it to anyone who loves to buy, sell, trade or play any card game.

My review is a culmination of multiple shopping experiences with them both online and in-store. On TCGplayer, a card from my online order that was supposed to be near mint arrived with some condition issues. They offered a partial refund which I accepted but this issue of listing not near mint cards as near mint is a far too common experience on TCGplayer and Core TCG is not an exception. I then decided to check out their store. At first, I had a 5 star experience as they allowed me to look through copies of their higher rarity yugioh singles to choose the best one out of the bunch (this was just a few weeks leading up to my most recent experience). I was more than willing to drop a couple extra dollars over the actual value of a card for a store like this because at the end of the day, I was walking away buying what I considered gradable cards. On my most recent experience however, they refused to let me see the cards listed on their TCGplayer page claiming that those cards were no longer in stock at their store and are at the TCGplayer warehouse which would make sense except the cards I were looking to buy were not TCGDirect cards which led me to believe they may still have the cards in stock at their store but had some change in store policy (or just straight up didn't feel like selling the cards to me because they didn't even look in the back for them like they did my last two times shopping with them). It's pretty common that a seller on TCGplayer will provide pictures upon request (meaning they still physically have the card) assuming the card listing isn't a TCGDirect listing. So not only does this store sell many cards for more than they are worth, I can't personally choose the copy that I want anymore and I risk getting a card that's not in the condition described. That's not something I'm down for.

I went to the store looking for trading card products for my kids and every question I had was answered which made the trip every easy to find what I was looking for. Staff was very cooperative and patient with me throughout the time. I would definitely recommend this place for all tcg needs and will be coming back.

Undoubtedly, this is one of my top picks for card shops to play at. While they may not consistently have all the cards or Pokémon products in stock (let's face it, it's tough these days with all the scalpers), the staff is exceptional. They remain incredibly helpful, even during busy times, and provide valuable advice when it comes to making purchases or engaging in trades with the store.
