  Found these guys on Instagram so decided to stop in, great store! Everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable. I just got back into the hobby after finding all my old cards from my childhood and they answered all my questions and gave good advice on how to pick back up on collecting. They hey have tons of sealed products, some graded cards and then other random items. Honestly there’s so much that it’s a little overwhelming but that’s a good thing! Will definitely be back, nice to know there’s a good Pokemon shop like this in Chicago!

  Highly recommend this card story for Pokemon cards. They had a huge variety of sealed products, singles (mainly sorted from reverse to sets to high end), and PSA Slabs. Kevin was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in Pokemon. Do not hesitate to go.

  Amazing shop. Very helpful staff, and fair prices. They give away a lot of the filler from ETBs they rip or tins they open. My favorite part is the abundant bulk available for building decks. They also buy at very high percentages relative to other shops. They offer 70% cash or 75% store credit compared to the 40-50% you find at a lot of other nearby shops.

  Finally a card shop in Chicago and I consider it a gem. Found myself coming almost everyday since I don’t have to drive all the way to the burbs and also cause of their selection of singles and sealed! Their prices are fair and the crew is freakin awesome. Some of biggest rips are thanks to them! 🙏HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  Been a customer for a short time but these guys have gone above and beyond for me as a customer. I’m not a local, I discovered them by chance and it was the best discovery. Highly recommend the shop to anyone in the hobby

  Could not be more impressed by the whole staff, we spent eight hours of one day taking up nearly all of the employees had to go back a second day to get rid of what they say was their largest Pokémon collection that they have ever seen extremely transparent and fair on the prices of all of my 30+ thousand cards!! A ++++++
