I would post a photo of John but I forgot to ask his permission - maybe someone else can take his photo and get his permission. Knows a ton.

Was visiting from out of town and I searched for a local card shop and came across this shop. They…read morehad a TON of cards from sports, to Pokemon, to One piece. The shop keepers were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was there for OP cards and they had a nice selection. The prices were reasonable and keeping up with the market. I highly recommend this shop if you're in Puyallup, WA. 10/10 highly recommend!

I went to browse the shop. I asked about their grading services and asked my question in different…read moreways because I understood PSA had different card costs for grading depending on bulk and single cards. After attempting to understand their policy, how they operate their grading service the employee looked at me weird and said "I just said that", and "like I said" multiple times. Someone who is new to grading and trying to better understand the market their unprofessionalism was disappointing. Mind you the employees working here asked from the store owner and their manager and they all looked, like they were hired with no resume, work store was like they just woke up out of bed, and probably getting paid minimum wage. I won't come back again. I'll support smaller shops with love and care

They do have One Piece, Magic and Pokemon cards as well as TCGs as well. Their calendar is also stacked with all sorts of different TCG events. The staff here are knowledgeable and professional. They do offer snacks, cup noodles, and a variety of beverages to enjoy while you are there. In addition, they have dice, mats, deck boxes, sleeves, and other TCG accessories that you may need. The prices here are very fair and they also buy cards for a fair deal too. The set up here is nice and they have plenty of room to browse and walk around, they have several long tables with chairs to accommodate those who want to play or host events. Overall a great TCG store in Tacoma and definitely one to check out if you're into Magic, Pokemon, One Piece or others!

I can't say enough great things about them. If you have stop buy check them out. They are the best!!!

Don't know what's up with these low reviews…read more... Awesome card shop with the widest selection of Pokémon cards I've ever seen! Especially in these days with card shortages everywhere, these guys have pulled through. They were still working on their online shop when I went in, but that's ok! My first time walking in I was greeted by the sports card workers, and they politely showed me the side for Pokémon. Amazing!! Boxes and boxes of stocked up ETB's, promo boxes, and tins. It was just like being a kid again! The places was bustling on a Saturday evening, and there were many kids in the shop buying things as well. After a sale, I couldn't help but notice the sales attendant threw in some extra cards in for free! As well as for me once I told them it was my first time coming in! After some recommendations for a new collector, I walked out with a Celebrations ETB (Very hard to find for a decent price nowadays!) and a couple free card storage boxes as well. An amazing store, with an inviting atmosphere for new collectors and players alike!! Will highly recommend this store in the future!

My boyfriend and I enjoy checking out local trading card game stores and we wanted to check out…read moresome stores that we haven't been to. We had stopped by Kent for a meal and decided to check out The Game Shelf as they weren't too far. The parking is huge and shared with a lot of businesses and it was Friday evening, so it took a little bit of time to find parking. Once we parked, we entered into the store and were greeted politely by the cashier. There was a Magic the Gathering event going on and it looks like their events calendar always has something going on each day which is great. They even did Final Fantasy TCG which we have yet to see anywhere else and we have been to card shops in several parts of Washington. They had quite a massive selection of wares from desk mats, card holders, sleeves, deck boxes, board games, dice, and much more. We bought a few things and as we were checking out, the cashier mentions to us about their reward system which is a character sheet that you can fill out and there are six slots that they will add up from each amount you spent. Depending on how much you spend will determine your discount which I think is really neat and unique from other card shops. It rewards you no matter how much you spend rather than a point system that could take more than a few purchases to accumulate. I also asked if they were dog friendly and they are, they just ask that your dog is well-behaved, don't make a fuss or bother other patrons, and to clean up after them.

I felt bad because the person working there was clearly chilling and I felt bad to disturb their morning relaxing time before they started work. They still greeted me and were friendly and kind.

Every Friday at 7pm is D&D night with a group who are willing to teach you:) they have events and other games there as well that people come to play. They have a fridge with drinks as well for purchase and games you can play off the shelf.

Initially, I really enjoyed this place, the employees and management. I visited their location in…read morePuyallup frequently, and often told my friends about them due to their vibe and their helpful staff. Unfortunately, since then, I have placed an online order, and have not been provided my product or my money for months now. I ordered in August, waited a week, called to ask where my product was, and was told "Oh, you missed our cutoff. Your order won't be shipped until September 15th". Weird, because I didn't see that when I ordered my product, but maybe I made a mistake. However, I found out a friend of mine ordered a day AFTER me, and wasn't cutoff and was able to pickup their order from the store the next week. So, this felt deceitful. I waited until the middle of September, and still had no product. I inquired with the owner. He stated that they were having issues at their store and sent it out the day before. So, again, I waited. Still, no product. I contacted the owner again. He tells me that there were some returned and he would check the following Monday. (I verified the address... no issues there, so I find this to be odd and untruthful). He made no contact that Monday, so I reached out again. I let him know I was disappointed and that a lot of this is absolutely not okay or appropriate. The manager/business owner, Jesus A., has not responded to me since the beginning of October of this year. Want to go in to address your customer concerns? Their business isn't open on the displayed hours, and good luck getting a call back to ask questions. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but I can not in good faith rate any higher than a one for a business owner that steals from his customers, and addresses reviews on Yelp (see the first one posted on 4/7...so unfortunate) with selecting "funny", instead of providing appropriate customer service. I encourage you to find a shop that will care about experience whether you are a first time customer or returning customer.
