A decent card shop (specifically for pokemon cards) to go to. The variety isn't the best, but there's a decent amount of them. Some of the products are decently organized. The thing I didn't like was that some of the cards had these sleeves that were causing the cards to curve, which kinda messes the quality of it. The prices of the cards seem fairer compared to other card shops. The service was good. The employee was helpful and knowledgeable about any questions I had. read more

My boyfriend and I were in Renton and wanted to check out Shane's Cards as many friends and TCG players that we have met have shared with us how Shane's Cards was one of the best card shops in Washington! We had our dogs with us and we asked if we can bring our dogs inside as we browse and they were more than happy to let them in and give them lots of pets and attention. The staff here were very helpful, friendly and professional not only with us but with everyone else here. I love how organized the store is while also being easy to walk around. There was a good amount of people inside but we were able to traverse easily and with no problems, even with our dogs which is saying something! They have specific sections dedicated to Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and other TCG games too. They also have a lot of different card accessories and essentials for plays such as boxes, play mats, sleeves, and much more. We noticed how super fair the prices are here. The back of the store is the gaming area which is probably one of the biggest that I have seen in the area with plenty of seating and tables to play. It's exciting to know another great TCG shop that allows dogs and has everything we may need for our TCG needs. read more

$120 dollars worth of destined rivals packs and they came like this way. I got exactly zero hits out of the 12 loose packs. The worker brushed it off as a Pokemon error. read more

Always enjoyed coming here. The staff is ultra nice and very personable. They always have more than 3 people so you're never waiting for long. I love their events as well. Thanks for always making every visit enjoyable. read more

A first timer to this popular card store. Parking lot was pretty full, so had to park a ways out. Then had to walk to the store. Once we entered, saw a whole variety of Magic, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards for sale! They were separated out in different card sections of the store. Also noticed some DC and Marvel Cards. Prices seemed so-so. They ranged from inexpensive to a bit pricey numbers. In the back of the store, they had tables arranged for board gamers and card collectors to mingle and socialize in. read more

Shane's Card Shop is my go to. I been coming here every week ever since I discovered it. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of different Trading Card Games at fair prices. During times where it's not being used, you can even chill at the tables in the back and rip cards open, hang out, or even play games. They have daily TCG events in the back which is also cool. I go specifically for their Pokemon cards and almost always come out with something new. They sell raw singles and graded cards as well! read more

For now I'll give this place a 4 star. Mainly because the workers there outside of the owner and his brother, aren't friendly at all. Almost get the energy that they don't want to be there. However, the prices here beat a lot of the other card shops around as far as the "scalping" prices go. They always have some kind of stock, and are doing what they can to prevent the scalpers from getting all the product. read more

A great selection of Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards here at Shane's! The staff are super friendly and personable. Shane's brother, Tom, is fun to chat with and takes the time to make sure you leave with an empty wallet. Always enjoy talking to him. Although I do not play Magic, From what I can tell they have an amazing MTG collection. They also have Pokemon cards and board games. If you're looking to get into trading card games, this is a great place to start. They have tournaments every week for different games. Check out their Facebook page for more information on the tournaments. read more

The shop is currently at 4 stars, so I will leave a 4 star review. However, I was disappointed on my trip today. I came in because the photo says sports cards, but after speaking with the staff, I was advised that they stopped selling sports cards years ago. I know signs are expensive, but maybe you remove or edit the shop photos to remove sports from the sign. I did make a trip in just for sports cards and left empty handed. read more

This card shop has been around a long time and has been a big staple for the TCG community. I often come here for their MTG collection, especially for the foil basic lands that they always have in stock. Their inventory of singles is pretty reasonable, though it's not quite as extensive as Cardkingdom. They don't put all their foil singles out, so if you're looking for something specific, it may be worth asking to see if they have them in their boxes. The selection of packs and boxes is pretty impressive, as you can see some of the older sets still available (though at a premium). They do run tournaments and other meet-up nights (such as Commander), but I haven't joined in on those events. There are also plenty of Pokemon cards, so if you're into that or have kids that are, this is a great shop to come to. read more

I was recommended this store as I was looking for an establishment that sold Yu-Gi-Oh singles. I'm not a player, I'm not even really much of a collector. But I was very into Yu-Gi-Oh until about 2007 and felt the itch to fulfill some nostalgic yearnings. I called the store before my first visit as I wanted to ask about their official YuGiOh tournaments since I wasn't able to find the information online. The Team Member that picked up the phone told me that they don't typically post about the events online because "most of the regulars already know when they take place". That's cool I guess, but how do new players get in the loop? I later found out where the information was posted, which makes me wonder why the Team Member didn't just guide me to that resource but oh well. This store is really really out of the way but I made the drive over and honestly was pretty glad that I did. They have so so so many Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I was basically a kid in a candy shop. Right off the bat, a couple of team members helped me out as I asked questions and wanted to check out different cards. I wasn't overwhelming them with questions, and this was something a Team Member even mentioned to me which I appreciated haha. I went through so many cards, inspecting the different conditions to find ones I felt comfortable buying. I will say on this note, there needs to be better control of condition coming in. A lot of the cards they have for sale are pretty beat up, some monsters I totally passed on because every copy they had was damaged in some way. At the very least, maybe separating the better condition cards from the worse ones would make things a lot easier for a buyer. That being said, I was really happy with the cards I did buy and the prices were really good. I even bought a cool rate card, and one of the Team Members lowered the price for me after they checked and saw that the market value went down. On this, prices truly are fair as the employees base them off of market value. There isn't really getting a better deal on eBay or anything because if anything sellers on eBay up charge to make up for fees. The only negative aspect of my first experience here, aside from my critique on card conditions, is that sometimes the employees will openly talk about things that I don't believe are appropriate in a business setting, as casual as the industry of card collecting might be. I heard complaints about other customers asking questions, which I think instills this idea in the back of the head like "oh will I be talked about too?" Before my next time visiting, I called ahead and asked if this store was taking pre orders for the Yu-Gi-Oh 25th anniversary packs. They got pretty sassy with me for some reason, but then told me to come in the store and that they're writing a list for pre-orders. I went to the store and signed up to pre-order, and was told I would get a call when they get their shipments in. I never got that call so I'm not really sure what happened, as i was told i was "ahead" enough on the list that their first shipment should cover it. While I was there anyways I bought some other cards and otherwise had an average experience. The last time I went, I bought a couple cards but what really threw me off was that an employee started brushing their teeth behind the counter.... I have never seen that in my life. Also, when working with collectibles especially, I'm not sure if that's something you really want to do lol. Overall, I think this store has a great selection in cards and has fair prices. Team Members are generally friendly but there are moments that can show otherwise. However, the quality control when it comes to cards being sold leaves much to be desired. The professionalism also is a little spotty, at the end of the day it is a place of business and I don't want to have to worry about getting judged for asking the wrong question or toothpaste ending up on my cards. 3/5, it's a notable place for sure but there are some areas of improvement that I hope get noticed and worked on read more

On one of the days that we were in Seattle we spent it going around looking for Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh! cards/packs. I looked up a few places for Hubby before we went on our trip and we spent one of the days going to see what we can find! It was a nice little adventure and when we came to Shane's Cards it has to be Hubbys' favorite place thus far. It's a pretty big store with a lot of different items on display. Hubby took time to browse around with what he wanted to get, as he was looking for some single Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. I don't believe he bought any, since they didn't have what he wanted. We did end up getting a few of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tin of the Pharaoh Gods and some Pokemon ETBs. The person working there was kind enough to open a new box for us to get the Yu-Gi-Oh! tins from and I will tell you, we pulled some fire cards from there! Shane's is our go to when we come back to Seattle most definitely! read more

This is a fantastic card shop! We went looking for Pokemon singles, and not only did they have a great selection with fair prices, the guy behind the counter was super patient and helpful with trying to help us find the cards we needed. This will be our new go-to shop for Pokemon singles. read more

Been shopping here for years - back when I first started playing MtG some of the staff gave me some deck building tips that cemented me as a lifelong customer. All of the staff that have helped me there are fantastic, if they know another employee is more familiar with what I'm asking they'll flag someone down to help me out with more in-depth knowledge. read more

So glad I found this place for my son! He's been really into Pokémon lately and they have quite a variety of booster packs, trainer boxes, cases, sleeves etc. They also have a huge collection of Yugioh cards & more! They also sell singles in the back if you ask & go off of the market price! I would say you pay for what you get. We've been coming in at least once a week, so I'm sure they remember us by now. The owner & employees are super friendly. They are really patient with my son (7 years old) who is really indecisive. They actually take their time searching the cards for us online, I never feel rushed! Definitely stop by if your a collector, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

This is my FAVORITE card shop in the area. It's always my go to, and enjoy trading cards for store credit for more cards. Good vibes, great to find fellow nerds to nerd out with. read more

Shane's has been a staple to the card community for years. They have a great selection and go beyond for their customers. They have the best workers like Stephen to help you when needed. If you ever need singles for Pokémon or Magic this is the place to go. read more

Great selection of MTG & Yugioh Cards! Tons of singles and booster packs! Highly recommend.

I said I'll give 5 stars when update name change. As I said previously, customer service is A1, and helpful. Since then, gone back for shoe boxes and top loaders. read more

I went to Shane's Card's they didn't have Sport's card anything, Was a disappointment to go to a Card shop & don't have baseball, basketball, or football cards. Also walked to Walmart don't carry any kinda spots card's, third time wasn't a charm, Walked to Fred Myer's struck out there too. Of all places Walgreens has baseball, basketball, and football cards locked up. Got my sport card's fix LOL read more

I drove here to look at the cards and see if they have some of the missing cards I want. They did and i highly recommend this place! I got so much card (not just the one i needed for the set i was looking for but also for my other sets too!) for good prices. The people there are nice too! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Shane's Cards - Pokemon cards - Hobby Shops Near Me - Renton, Washington

The service here is terrible. At the very least inconsistent a store full of employees all in their own heads. I have to nearly beg to be served or even check out. Or worse make awkward "can anyone help?" Announcements thar suddenly send everyone scrambling. Its my local card store, I'm going to support them but ...jeez... do I have little to no desire to shop here. Its not an enjoyable time. The prices are good and more often than not they are fair. I don't see a lot of mark-up or reseller price matching. Inventory is great and they hold customers to purchasing limits to keep things fair But, its doesn't make shopping there any easier read more

Grabbed some Modern Horizons 3 prerelease kits here for $50 each (under market price) out the door during release week. Singles selection was good as well, just be aware of market prices before making a purchase. Overall a decent spot and glad to have one close by in my neighborhood. read more

Been coming here for years and it's still my all time fav card shop. They've grown the business but still really liked their first really small location. It was like the dive bar of card shops. read more

I have been going to Shane's for years and typically 8 out of 10 times I go there I get the worst customer service. The employees act as if I am bothering them when I want to purchase an item; it feels more like a club house for the employees then a place of business. I am rarely greeted at the door or asked if I need assistance. When I do need assistance and I have to pull an employee from their card sorting duties they act as if it is the biggest inconvenience. Their annoyance is palpable and wholly unacceptable for a business. I do not know how the owner allows such awful customer service. This is not a one time occurrence, this is fairly consistent over the 15 years I have been buying cards and games from Shane's. This weekend was my last straw. I got nothing but rude and dismissive treatment the moment I walked in from when I finally got someone to sell me some cards. The employee could not be more irritated that I asked him the price of some cards, and heaven forbid I might actually wish to purchase some. No eye contact, no asking if I needed anything or basic niceties of "have a nice day". This is the usual treatment I get from this place and more people should be aware of this and go somewhere else. I don't know how this place stays in business and I hope the owner takes this review to heart and takes steps to improve the customer service of its employees; I'll never know because I do not intend to ever return to this place. read more

Buys at 40% below tcg low. Maybe that's just me but that seems way to high. I've been to Shane's twice, one time before the before they moved to see what the local mtg modern community looked like. There seemed to be a great community that goes to Shane's but it was hard to get any help from the person at the counter. I just remember standing there waiting for the employee behind the counter, he was talking to a local for like 7-8 minutes before I got acknowledged to buy some singles. Second time I ever went was after they moved into the Fredmeyers parking lot, the new place looked really nice. I went in to sell a scrubland (legacy duel land) single just to get some quick cash. The guy at the counter was a bald, white bigger set white dude, I asked him what they buy cards at and he told me 40% below TCG. The scrubland I had was sitting at $245 and he offered me $140, Which is 43% tcg low. I said I'd take $150, got some quick cash and got out. Honestly I felt really taken advantage of read more

I've been going to Shane's store for 6+ years. They have an awesome Magic the Gathering selection. They will even work out deals with buying magic cards, unlike some stores that charge max price for cards and not negotiable or flexible on prices. They have assorted games which is nice. Keep up the good work guys read more

Local gem. Shane's is my go-to spot for Pokémon Cards. Their prices are great, and they always have anything you could need in stock. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I always find something to add to my collection every time I stop in. read more

Excellent service. I came recently with a few questions on how to ship a card and what products I need. The staff helped me find what I needed and also offered me a free trial piece in case it didn't fit when I got home. The guys here were really kind and made sure I was helped. They're knowledge and know their stuff. Pricing on items and cards weren't too bad either. From what I saw, they were a bit better than what you would find from a reseller online. Thank you Shane's! I'll definitely be back. read more

Helpful staff. Good prices. Not trying to rip you off. Apply pay friendly too. Will continue to support! read more

The places has an ominous vibe been here a few times and one can feel the workers untrustworthy.Got up sale for the products (was in a hurry didn't see the receipt till I left) and I brought it to there attention which they invented this story. I don't recommend bringing in you child or one self to this store . read more

Shane and his staff are friendly and attentive. As a board gamer, I can say Shane's has a great selection of board games that can appeal to beginners of the hobby up to the experts. If there's a game you want and they don't have it on the shelf, they're very good at finding it. On top of that they've created a free board gamer's rewards program. As you purchase more board games, they will begin to provide you discounts on those purchases. It does not extend to CCGs like Magic the Gathering. Pokemon, or Yugioh. All you need to do is ask them for a board gamer's card and they'll provide you with one. If CCGs are you thing, Shane's carries it all. There's a great community of players for the big three, Magic, Pokemon and Yugioh. They staff are knowledgeable and can help you find that one card you might need for the deck you're trying to build. The store is in the perfect spot, immediately off the I-405 freeway, so even if you don't live nearby, you can visit with ease. read more

Found this place online looking for Adventure's League (D&D5e). The shop if clean and very orderly. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. When I needed dice for a statistics class I was asked to teach at work, I headed right over here to get what I needed. The shop does a very good job of promoting game nights and I make time every time I am in town. read more

The staff is very kind to talk to and very knowledgeable. I come here to buy Pokémon cards and they offer the best deals compared to other card shops. read more

I've been coming here for about a year, Seattle has few game stores so this type of place is rare for the area. They have good stock on products and the employees are usually friendly if you go up and talk to them. Prices are usually a bit higher than what I've seen online as they tend to round up. I strongly discourage from selling any cards here, they give about 25% percent of online pricing in my experience and will try to talk you into make bad deals. For instance, the last time I traded in cards they took an additional ten percent off at the register due to a "fee", which they hadn't done before and I haven't heard of them doing for others. Probably won't be returning after that and I'll just order anything I need online or I'll go to Zulu's in Bothell. read more

The staff and owners are always friendly, helpful, and a delight to deal with. The store has a great selection of supplies, yugioh/magic singles and sealed product, pokemon product. The place also has a large and expanding variety of popular board games. read more

I recently started playing magic I've been playing for about 3 months and I happened to stumble upon Shane's cards. I've been to Shane's 3 different times and 2 out of 3 times I've had a bad experience with staff. I get that being a nerd makes people feel entitled but I'm just trying to get into it. I asked a worker what he would recommend for getting into the game and stuff of that nature the entire time he was very condescending and just made me feel like an idiot for asking. The second time my girlfriend and I came in we tried to sit at a table in the back. As soon as we sat down an older man came over and started complaining about how we couldn't sit there and how we should have know the seats were reserved. We said sorry and he said well you should have checked just condescending and rude. Not new player friendly at all would only recommend if you like being around condescending people who don't wear deodorant (the shop also has a bad B.O. problem). The other experience I had at the shop was with a worker who just seemed very indifferent about what we were looking. He wasn't mean but he didn't seem interested in helping. read more

When I was young kid/barely a teenager (maybe mid 00s) I went here to get an estimate on a rare yugioh card and an older employee (probably Shane) scammed me. He told me to help him close the front door since it was windy and when I got back, he said, "Oh there's a bent corner here so you won't get full price." I kept the card and left. It didn't hit me that he bent the card until I talked to my brother about it who waited for me in the parking lot. I could've had my brother with me, but what kind of small business owner would do such a scummy thing; especially to a kid? The only reason I'm writing this review is because I recently found out this place still exists (my friend's younger brother goes to tourneys here). So if you know a younger person who comes here, it'd be wise to accompany them. read more
