Elite Cardboard Gaming

I did come in and buy things a decent amount of times, but, I dunno. Something kept bothering me about it. And admittedly the excitement of seeing a new LGS is a hell of a drug. But here are some pain points that ECG needs to work on: 1) More play space. 4-5 small tables isn't enough to even consider holding a play session here. Especially if any other events crop up. It gets very cramped, very quickly. 2) Website needs a lot of work. Plenty of listings are missing information and photos. It's hard to know what you're buying and that feels bad. Just listing a Mew for $140 doesn't tell me anything useful. 3) Prices continue to be too high. I'm not even talking about the sealed products here (though I am tired of seeing them be so pricey), it's the lower end cards. I noticed in particular that the $2 binder was starting to get cards in it that werent even a dollar on TCGplayer. Just common bulk cards with reverse holos on them. 😬 After careful thought, I just can't recommend the experience at this time.

If you are looking for a place where you can waste your time and your money, you’ve found the right place! If you have kids they even get a 2 for 1. 2x the price for 1 item. Most stores sell at msrp on release, but don’t worry the owner doesn’t want scalpers to buy all his product, so he sells them at scalper prices. 10/10 would recommend.

As a small business owner myself I love to support local. We were in the area and I looked up the closet card store and it happened to be Elite so we went over. I’m more of a sports collector and there wasn’t much there but you could tell the gentleman working was a real one and not sleazy like some in the hobby. My advice is to go give them a try yourself to determine what kind of place it is and don’t put too much in these negative reviews! Hopefully next time I stop in there will be more sports cards!
