Came in to scope out some cards and they had some rare ones. I like how the good stuff is locked up. The prices are fair. They have a good selection of vintage consoles if nostalgia is your thing. Maybe I'll cop some cards in the future trip back here.

GameTime is a complete store. They have some Pokemon boxes, but not alot. I saw alot of sports cards. They sell singles and slabs. They also have a large inventory of video games. The employee there was really helpful and knowledgeable.

I absolutely love game time! This is a sister store to one of my favorite shops in Milpitas (Retro Rewind). They specialize in video games and card games. The staff and owners are very knowledgeable and helpful when recommending fun video games. They do also do trades toward store credit or cash, they don't rip you off either they actually give you a good amount or even more than expected sometimes. The pricing seems very fair as well. I will be back soon to add to my growing collection.

We got so many amazing cards here! They have their own system and are very organized. Cards are clearly marked with labeled prices. They have sealed product, OG games and consoles, and organized graded cards and singles. We'll defiantly be coming back! Thanks for having us today.

Great selection

Super nice and clean store. The staff were super helpful. Definitely will be returning to open packs or buy singles.

On dec 23, I stopped by to sell some pokemon cards. The employee working that day told me they only buy pokemon cards on weekends. I asked if any of that info was on their instagram and he said "no". There was no signs about buying stuff on weekends either in store. Waste of time. Would not recommend coming here. This store should be more transparent on their policies. Their instagram bio says "we buy and trade everyday" smh

Was here 20 minutes past open and place is closed.

Brought in my old GBA SP which had a busted screen, I've watched videos on how to fix it, but wanted to also swap out the shell. So after countless videos of people saying the trickest part is the hinges, I figured it was best left for the professionals. I also wanted to mod the GBA SP charging port to a USB-C but with Eli's insight, replacing the screen with an IPS and upgrade to USB-C it would probably be better to just buy an entirely new Modded GBA SP. So I just stuck with the shell swap and new IPS screen. We ordered the parts from Ebay as he showed me what was available on 3/28/2026 and called me 4/9/2026 to let me know it was ready for pick up so roughly a 3 week turn around since he had to wait for the parts to be delivered. Finally had it back in my hands and it was beautiful, 15 settings on the brightness and it opened and close with those satisfying clicks the OEM came in. Couldn't be happier, I will say the buttons do rotate when I'm gaming a little too hard, but nothing like rotating them back into their place fixes it. As for the shop itself, BEAUTIFULY CLEAN, it's spotless and they really make this place feel like gamer heaven. All the games in the store were in their respective locations and you had no issues finding what you wanted. (Unless it was in a container with no label)

These guys are scammers. Offered me $27 (a $20 game trade + tax and $5 in cash) for 6 games. They…read moredidn't say anything about a buyback rate, just checked if one of the games was real, and then glanced over the other games and made the offer without checking their prices online at all. They're selling some of their games at both locations for 2x eBay prices. The games I brought in can be found used online (GameStop and eBay) for a total of $150+. Not worth your time if you're looking for a fair deal on either a trade or even just a regular purchase.

Seemed to work fine to me, but my kid found a problem with the contrast and/or screen when he tried to play Christmas morning. We took it back to the location on Campbell Ave where I bought it. Showed the manager/owner and provided receipts. He said they would fix the DS because it was sold "refurbished." He said it would be ready in a few weeks, after the new year, and took my contact into. Never heard back. Called the store after the first month came and went. No answer. Months go by and my kid keeps asking about it. I keep calling the location but then I read on their instagram that the shop is permanently closed. But they they're still doing business online. So I reach out to their instagram and email the address on their Shopify, where in fact they are now selling a metallic blue DS, just like the one I bought in December! Still no reply. Hope to hear back now that I'm posting about this problem.

I moved from Sacramento to Santa Clara recently for work. This store has the largest space I've…read moreseen for players in Santa Clara (from what I've seen) whether it's tabletop or to play a card game. I came in an hour before closing. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted. They asked if I was looking for anything and was shown to the card sleeve section. I've been to multiple stores that specialize in cards. Why was this the ONLY place where I found a large assortment of card sleeves for players!! Lol I met Anna(?) or Ann, and customer service was amazing, gave all information I was asking for, and showed me the weekly schedule. I am more of a mega competitive player (but not a sore winner ;-)), so I wanted to know what their schedule looked like, what is their most supported game, etc. I believe this is a more chill, casual, friendlies kind of vibe (not a bad thing at all), and I'd be open to doing more drafts or pre-release kits or something. Hoping to bring in my coworkers and friends! I can tell that they care very much about making sure they can support their community and create an inclusive and healthy space. Masks are not a big deal for me, they're effective especially nowadays with allergies, new viruses, whatever lol Lots of different card games in stock and tabletop games for rent, a cute dog and a big space for players.. but what really made things great was speaking with Al about Witch Hat Atelier. I've been to a lot of comic book stores, and I'll see the "Favorite Picks", but that's about it. Al and I talked about it, we went through the art, explained the intro, and it really brought me in. Al's passion for stories really made me want to look at this series. I didn't buy it, but I can honestly say that I'd love to come back to the store to find out what the next big thing is Al will share with me. I can sense that these folks are passionate, accommodating, and personable. Hoping for further successes!

This place transports you to all the various fandoms. It's easy for my kids to get lost in the many aisles of comic books and graphic novels. Today they featured a young photographer who was showcasing his incredible talents! We were thrilled to meet the photographer and even had the opportunity to purchase one of his prints! Love this shop and how they make it so easy to support small business!

It can get very busy in the evenings after people get off work and due to playing card events, but looking past that, I think it comes to show that it's a space for community to come together to enjoy and appreciate Pokémon cards, Magic, Yu-gi-oh, etc together! I have asked the staff numerous questions about cards in general because I was coming into the hobby without very much knowledge, but they have been so patient and kind. The card values are also competitive and affordable - great place to visit to get yourself specific single cards for your collection. they also have lots of cute trinkets and knick knacks to peruse through as well. I got a really cute Miffy license plate frame from here as well. Anyway, great space, thank you for being here and being a part of my recent quiet time routine. Can't wait to see the space grow and change in the coming years too.

Came here on a Sunday in the afternoon as I had open some packs the other day and realize I need sleeves and some kind of protector. When I walked in there was a whole group of people playing card games, not sure what but an insane view for me seeing this many people in a store. Anyways, went straight for the Pokemon card area and looked for what I needed. Originally needed a binder but I saw a card holder and some maroon sleeves, so I went with that for now until I find something I like. Wasn't sure where the cashier was as it seemed like I could go up to any of them. But they were also casually talking to customers. So it discouraged me a little bit since I didn't want to disturb them. But as soon as one person looked like they were free I swooped right in. Transaction was effortless and I was on my way, on my way out too I saw a Bulbasaur shrine and thought that was pretty cool. So when does Charmander get one LOL

It was easily one of the better GameStop locations in Silicon Valley. As an action figure collector this store consistently stood out. While the selection was not massive there was always variety and more often than not I would find something I was actually looking for. Sometimes the hardest to find figure was just sitting there on the peg waiting for me. I cannot say the same for the other nearby locations. Fun fact I live right across from the GameStop at Great Mall. The staff there is friendly and they almost never have anything in stock. I might get lucky two or three times a year. Because of that I would gladly make the drive to Saratoga instead. The staff here was always friendly and the store had that slightly overstocked feel that collectors appreciate. It may not have had the latest and greatest every time but there was always something worth browsing. Value wise, with the price of everything going up in figures especially I don't see this trend ending of closures That is why it pains me to see this location close its doors.
