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.

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!

This of course led my husband and I through a sea of nostalgia and the kids watching endless "card pull" videos. This was our first time at Metro, and my 6 year old son was lead by destiny to find the coveted "God pack" or golden Charizard (his words, not mine). While the kids "ohhh'd and ahhh'd" over the cards and played their hand at the claw machines - I asked the guy working for the info on the different packs. He was so patient and sweet to my 5 year old daughter who was a tad too energetic and excited, and the boys who acted as if we were looking at the answer to world peace through a glass case. He was full of knowledge, answered questions about uncommon Pokemon, and let my son pick out which of the Pokemon boxes he felt was "lucky". In a time where my kid has to compete with adults to even get the chance for a Pokemon machine to release a few items... always leaving empty handed because they emptied it out as he stood behind them in line... you made my kids day. Thank you Conner, for making our first trip there so special.

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.
