SCG Hobby, North Huntingdon

I’ve been to a lot of card shops, but never been to one that felt so gatekept. I went with my friend hopeful for some One Piece card game product. We were able to buy one booster box per person, but the lady working limited us to one total so it wasn’t one per person? Very confused, but aside from that the lady working wanted nothing to do with us. Asked when One Piece tourney night was and she just told that they have one. Again it felt very gatekeepy which is not what I thought card games were about? I wouldn’t waste your time. If you’re into pokemon they scalp the heck out of it. Pretty much everything is triple the price of retail for Pokemon so no love for the kids either. Don’t support scalpers and they can’t keep doing it!!

One of my favorite things to do is play One Piece card game. My friend and I went to this shop hopefully for a great experience. Boy was I completely wrong. I waited at the counter for 10 minutes while the cashier was talking to her friends in the back. My friend and I were only allowed to buy one booster box even though they were one per person. One per person should mean we each get to buy one. I don’t understand the rule one per person if two people can only buy one box. On top of this “rule” the cashier was not friendly at all. I know that I was a new face to the store, but I’ve never been treated like that in a card shop. I will never return. I will actively let people know you are not player friendly card shop. Also I could care less about Pokemon, but I’m aware of scalping and they are the definition of it. Prismatic booster bundles for $90 when they’re $30 retail. Please avoid this place at all costs. They are scalpers!!
