Both times trying to buy cards and it was impossible to get the guys behind the counters attention . One kept moving product then was yelled at by another employee to not do that and answer the phone . Again not either of them acknowledged us. Then the yelling dude went back over and just kept talking about his weekend with his friends . Since then we've thankfully found much nicer stores with people who actually wanna help people and makes sales.

But I picked up a Ghost From the Past, and a Ghost From the Past 2 from this shop. Both of them had a ghost rares! Not even Yami Yugi has luck like that! Everything is very well and competitively priced, compared to other card shops. The cashier helping me out, wasn't eyeballing me where ever I went, like I was going to steal something. But he did follow me helping me out with singles, a sealed items I was looking for. Overall A+ store, and a store with higher end yugioh singles... can't find a place like that.

We stopped in here yesterday to check it out [my husband just got an Atari 2600-did you know they…read moreare still making them (!?!)- and was hoping to get some cartridges]. It was such a pleasant surprise that there were things in the shop for everyone in the family!! I got some pins, one daughter got amiibos (sp?), and one got a Cat Noir doll (she was thrilled). But my husband was the big winner with his haul of Atari cartridges-they are vintage but I think all of them have worked after being cleaned. He and the kids were up until after midnight playing Casino (?)...anyway they were laughing and having a great time and a a lot of it is down to the knowledgeable and cool people working at the store who were a lot of fun. I will gladly spend money at a store that is locally owned and promotes a welcoming vibe. So excited to go back! Great value too-they were happy to make deals on the cartridges and on my Dr. Who trinkets-not expected but appreciated!!

Warmly greeted as I walked in, I was informed that the shop was under new ownership and to ask if I needed any help. I asked if they had any dollar boxes and was told where they were. Dollar boxes sorted by team, what could be better? Time flew by and I actually came back after my appointment to continue looking. Ended up buying over 100 cards! Lots of graded cards, vintage, and unopened boxes. They also had a large collection of signed memorabilia, Star Wars figures, Matchbox cars, and Starting Lineups. Store is still in the process of being "set-up", but it has plenty of inventory already out to keep you occupied. Prices were on par with most other shops I've visited. Employees were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back for sure.

What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The manager even went above and beyond by offering me a discount and some extra goodies for my son, which absolutely made my day--he's going to be so excited! I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. It's rare to find a shop with both such a great variety and such exceptional customer service. I'll definitely be making a point to come back as soon as I can!
