As a rookie to the card collecting game, I was curious as to what shops are THE spots here in San…read moreDiego. Visited SD Sports Cards and was blown away by the organization, inventory, and welcoming staff. They're an authorized retailer of Topps (which is really what made me come by), and have everything in sports and TCG from baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, ufc, pokemon, etc. It's a small shop but they're set it up well to be able to find what you're looking for easily, whether it's supplies, autos, graded, or raw base cards. Staff also let me know of their Mira Mesa location which I still have yet to visit. Haven't bought anything yet, but did catch that some of the most coveted card boxes (i.e. boxes that only come with 1-3 rare cards) were cheaper than I've seen at other shops! Will definitely be back!

Be very careful with SD Sports Cards' breaks. Their setup is intentionally unclear -- unless you…read moreread the fine print like a lawyer, you won't realize that even if you buy a team, you might not get the hits. I bought the Browns with the clear understanding that I'd be eligible for XRCs. During the break, an XRC hit that should've gone to the Browns didn't -- it went to "someone else" To add insult to injury, the breaker actually laughed about it live on stream, joking with his regulars about how the guy who bought the Browns wouldn't be getting the card. Real professional. This feels like a straight-up money grab. Why would anyone purchase a team and then have to pay extra just to get the hits from that same team? What a joke. Total bait-and-switch. This isn't just confusing, it feels rigged. Avoid unless you enjoy getting burned.

I ordered the Mysterious Bag of Mystery Men's: Giganto Edition... valued at $90. I like this store/website because they sell everything that I play WoW, SC2, and Diablo.. Love it and very easy to order, pay, and receive. Oh yeah I believe they will be selling Esports stuff as well. I like it because they are based out of Poway.

I stopped into this store to show a friend the game Warhammer. I had passing familiarity with the…read moregame and neither of us had ever played it. When we walked in the manager (whose name I forget) greeted us. He was very enthusiastic describing the game and gave us a "15 minute" demonstration. With our questions, it turned out to be longer than 15 minutes and worth every minute. His love of the game was clear and rousing. While he was talking with us, he was also able to deal effectively with other customers in the store. If I were to take up the game Warhammer, I would definitely patronize this store. It was clean and organized. But the manager was a very good advocate and customer-centric.

Nothing felt cluttered or in disarray like other Micheal's locations I've stopped into. Everything was so easy to find! Only downside was one self check out machine was down, and there was only one cashier available to assist. Otherwise great store and selections from what I saw.

Prices were high compared to comparable items up the street at Walmart. A big negative in my book: When looking at some cake glazes, I notice that the ones on sale had expired in August 2023 -- 15 months ago! I used the self-checkout kiosk, which went smoothly.

Julie (I hope I got your name right!) immediately stepped in and took amazing care of us. Even on a busy, rainy day, she went above and beyond to make sure we still had a place to play and felt completely supported. Her customer service was excellent, and we really appreciated how smoothly she handled everything. All the other staff members were just as amazing and accommodated us. Thank you again for making our day. We'll definitely be coming back!

I brought my six-year-old, who's really into Pokémon, and it ended up being an awesome experience for both of us. Like a lot of parents know, it's been tough finding Pokémon packs at reasonable prices lately but not here. They had great selection and prices that weren't inflated like most places right now. We picked up two Poké Balls with three packs each, and my son had the time of his life opening them. He's just starting to learn about card values, but honestly, the best part is just seeing the excitement on his face with every pack he opens. This place made that possible without breaking the bank. We'll definitely be coming back regularly now that we know where it is. Highly recommend to anyone with kids or anyone who loves the hobby.

What a fun little toy store!…read more It's hard shopping for toys in person these days when really the only options you have are Walmart and Target. I miss the days of Toys "R" Us. But this little toy store is a nice breath of fresh air. It's a smaller store, but it has lots of unique toys for all different ages. We came in here looking for a few small gifts for a school gift exchange and found lots of fun things. My son picked out a magnet toy and my daughter sound some watermelon pink slime. And our 2 year old found a wooden Thomas Train he didn't have. And surprisingly, they had Pokémon cards which my son appreciated. I hope they continue to carry sports and Pokémon cards because it's always fun taking my kids to pick out cards, rather than just buying online. The store manager was super sweet and helped. She explained their exchange policy if a Bruder toy broke and how they'd get the part for free for you. She was also open to suggestions of other toys to carry I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a toy, give them a shot. I'm sure you'll find something. Its also awesome supporting small business
