I must say I'm really unhappy, annoyed and disappointed with my visit today. I've been waiting…read moreweeks for the patriotic stuff to go on sale (seriously, me and my mom have been looking every Sunday on the app). Well it finally went on sale today!! I went to return something and then browsed the isles to pick out some new items for my red, white and blue decor at home. (4th of July is my FAVORITE)!! What.A.Let.Down. A large majority of the items looked like complete trash. Many, MANY things scratched and scuffed up. I don't want to decorate with crappy looking decorations. A couple items were even ripped (see America sign photo). What the heck!? Who in their right mind would think it's ok to stock that on the shelves? I contemplated taking these items to someone but it would have likely filled the bulk of the cart. I wish I would have taken more pictures but you can see how bad just the few were that I took. Do better, Hobby Lobby. I really hope management sees this.

If you've ever been in charge of small children, you know that the bedtime routine is sacrosanct…read more It supports the health and development of young brains and it ABSOLUTELY VITAL for the sanity of the grown-ups, who need an hour or two in the evening in which to shower, pay bills, talk to their partner about subjects unrelated to Sesame Street, and fall asleep in front of the television. The trouble is, I'm on business in Southern California for a couple of weeks, and the kids (and my partner) are 2,600 miles and three time zones away. This is an obvious barrier to performing my part in the Brushing of the Teeth, the Reading of the Storybooks, and the Hugging of the Stuffed Cat, and so I've been largely useless in these regards of late. At 4pm California time, I was checking out the Bellflower Car Show (which was really cool!) when I got a call from my partner back east. It was storytime in the eastern time zone, and the Toddler had decided that I was the ONLY person on the entire planet who was qualified to read the picture book version of the classic song "What a Wonderful World" that night. Which is to say, I was the only person in the world qualified to SING "What a Wonderful World" while my partner turned pages, pausing so that the toddler could periodically say "Wha wondafawa!" and/or point out all the birds and bugs in the pictures. Car shows, however, are REALLY NOISY and also full of people and interesting shiny things. This is not conducive to reading picture books, nor for putting small children into a sleepy headspace. Luckily, the car show was right in front of The Guild House. I'd actually stopped into The Guild House the week prior for a Tuesday night D&D Adventurer's League game (Level 5 Half-Elf Bard). They charge $2 a head for table and supplies, which- and I realize this is a divisive issue- is absolutely fair because the storekeepers have gotta make rent somehow and it's not like every player is gonna buy new dice/books every week. I found the staff friendly and , the product selection excellent, and the store itself clean and comfortable. So, throwing myself at the mercy of my nerd brethren, I ducked inside The Guild House, and treated the gamers therein to an impromptu concert. Those who noticed me singing in the corner were very understanding about my situation, but most too wrapped up in their games to care. I even got to show Astrid the Shop Cat- possibly the world's cutest game store employee- to the Toddler, who has asked about the cat every time we've talked since. After saying good night to the toddler, I bought some really funny "Miskatonic University" postcards to send to my nerdy friends back east, and also a cute pin with a plague doctor on it to give to my partner. Thanks, Guild House, for being my nerd base-away-from-home for the last couple of weeks...and for helping m make story time happen!

Bad service and poor communication…read more I've been trying to catalogue my MTG collection lately. I drove 40 min to get to this shop because they have a machine that scans your cards. I paid the shop to rent the machine and waited for 2 hours. Then the staff told me "We made a mistake setting this up. We can't give you the scanned info, but leave your cards behind and your email address, and we can send them over. You'll just need to scan this thing we send you." I was uncomfortable leaving my cards behind because they're important to me. But I didn't want to walk away empty-handed. So I decided to trust them and I left my cards behind. I didn't hear anything for 4 days. I had to call them and they said "Oh the employee you were talking to got sick. If you want to pick up your cards you can do that though." I asked "How about scanning my cards?" and they said "We'll message the sick employee and call you back to let you know what he says". I waited 3 more days and they didn't contact me at all. I realized they weren't going to reach out to me to resolve the issue, so I had to drive down to the store to demand my cards back. I don't know who the person running the back of the shop is. Maybe the manager. Maybe the owner. All I knew is that they had context on the whole situation and knew that I had returned to get my cards. They didn't bother to come over to talk to me. They didn't even give me eye contact. They didn't make even a single attempt at improving the situation. Not even an offer for store credit. Not even a sorry. They just shrugged and yelled across the room "machine's broken". Then they went back to puttering around and left another employee to deal with me. This other employee had no context on the situation. All she could do was hand me a cash refund and give me a confused "Sorry...?" I was treated like I was an annoyance. Someone who'd go away eventually if you ignored them. Not a respected customer who just wanted to do business. I'm not mad that the machine was allegedly broken. I'm only slightly mad that the employees aren't trained on how to use the machine. I'm frustrated that I paid for a service and they didn't bother seeing the job through to the end. They didn't communicate when they decided to give up. I trusted them with my personal card collection and they betrayed that trust. I don't even know if I have all my cards back, but I'll never know. Save yourself the stress.

Victor is the best for customer service and advice!…read more Came here on a whim during Labor Day while driving through the area. At first I couldn't find the shop, the address sent me to the other side where there's a pharmacy - if you find the pharmacy you're in the right area, just go in the alley to the backside. They don't have big signage out their front door so it may be hard to find and it might look "closed" but if it's normal hours then you're probably in luck! The prices are somewhat reasonable - some singles and sealed products are at a decent price while some are just trying to match the market. But I get it, the shop needs to make money too. It sucks for the normal consumer/collector as we take the hit for the market prices. There seems to be a lot of singles to pick up - there's a good selection of cards on display and, if you ask, they have more binders with other singles that may not be as popular. Overall, I had a good experience with Victor. Very kind, super respectful, and ready to answer any and all questions. Will be back to shop some more in the future!

I asked one worker if they let customers go through bulk and he said yes, they have a lot though…read moreand most of it isn't sorted based off set, which was fine with me I don't mind looking for what I need. So as I'm checking out this other guy told me bulk is off limits until it's been price checked, and then told me my total of 58-60 cards was almost 30 bucks. I did the math, he charged me 50 cents per card and just counted the total up, talk about price gauging. Mind you, they had boxes of bulk stacked on top of each other, so who knows what's been checked or not either, watch me get a scolding for trying to master set some things. There's other card shops that actually do free bulk, I'm definitely gonna stick to them. EDIT: So after reading the other reviews left behind, I can definitely say they do lowball for whatever you bring in. I overheard this one couple bring in some cards that sounded rather high in value based on how the responses were for what they would offer and they were gonna give them a low offer, which I think they declined on some of the cards so good for them.

There needs to more Nicks in these card shops as it really makes it fun for the kiddos. We ended up picking up a Morpeko and Maushold IRs from 30th and he generously gave us a good deal on them.

TLDR; great card shop for people getting into collecting cards…read more Before coming into this store, there was never a reason for me to buy my single cards at a brick-and-mortar. I don't know who helped me because I was too overwhelmed, but he was so friendly and helpful. Actually everyone working there was pretty respectful and friendly! No one was judgmental or mansplain-y, it made me more comfortable asking questions since I'm newb. Price checking on cards was also super quick and he didn't look annoyed, so I was able to ask for the price of a lot of cards. Having to bother someone about pricing is lowkey a big reason why I hated brick-and-mortar, especially when I be ruining their day with every query, and then end up not buying anything. Such a relief it was not the case here. I was looking for a Pokemon card, lowest listed on TCG player was $14 + $2 shipping, and I was quoted $17 for it at the first card shop I stopped at ($1 not a big deal, but I can just buy online). I came here and the first price I was given was $16 which is the same as I would have paid online, but as I asked about more he was able to give me a package price for my cards without me having to ask (because I am not comfortable haggling, even though I think it is part of the card buying culture?) which I very much appreciate. I'm sure I paid less than I would have if I bought these cards online. I might not have bought as many cards as I did though if I'm being honest, but I guess that's part of the business deal. Overall my first super stellar shopping experience with buying single cards at a card store! I would defiantly recommend coming here if you're new to collecting cards! I don't have a lot of friends that collect cards and I'm not great at Googling questions so it's not as easy for me to learn how card market works without getting a little ripped off but the people here were super helpful and welcoming. I will be coming back with a wishlist of cards and maybe some more questions. Thank you for making my day!

All of the staff is extremely helpful and attentive even when a tournament is happening. Nick always takes the time to explain pricing and answer any questions that I have. I've always walked away feeling like I got great service. My only slight suggestion is that I wish they sold slabs and had Lorcana tournaments.
