8 trading card game shops matching your criteria
In my opinion, this is the store to be at if you're into Pokemon and live in the tri-cities. Their selection is quite large and they have a very organized one at that. There's also some staff there that appear to be highly knowledgeable on Pokemon as well. I also find their availability of tournaments to be surprisingly good. There is always something going on. Despite bad reviews on the customer service front, I've yet to have experienced passive aggressiveness, or anyone rude. Out of any card store I've visited, which is many within the state, this one has been at the top so far in this respect. One particular employee I cannot recall the name of is so eager to help people with Pokemon purchases, and will go the extra mile to find what you need in their singles/bulk, and that is a big deal to me. To add to this, I'm someone who has sold Pokemon singles and keeps up to date with prices as I play competitively. Their prices on non-bulk cards is often pretty decent, with some being outdated and [typically] too expensive. Their bulk prices are standard fair for card shops, they don't have time to sort them all out so charge a standard rate for most, which is fine. Of course TCGplayer will sell them at $0.05, but a physical card shop will get them in your hands today without shipping fees.
JJs is the absolute best local card shop I have ever visited. Their selection of cards is absolutely massive for the little space they have. They have extremely fair pricing on all of their products, and the Owners, Joe and Jared, are honest and welcoming beyond belief. My wife and I started collecting Pokemon cards only months ago and have gained so much due to the wide variety of different booster packs, promo boxes, bulk singles, and rare singles that JJs supplies all for fair, and most times much lower than market prices. I would recommend JJs to anyone and everyone who loves card collecting or just wants a real connection with a small business.
