Bought what appeared to be a sealed White Flare ETB, got down to the last pack and noticed a price sticker on it. Would love to ask for a refund, but I've already opened the packs :/

This particular card shop is one of the most comfortable environments I’ve walked into. Was immediately impressed with the design of the store. Felt welcomed right away & feel like I learned so much in such a short time about card specifics. The employee was very knowledgeable, friendly and just simply very professional. We will be bringing the family and kids back in! 10/10 recommended.

Empire card shop is an absolute treasure for anyone into trading cards, whether you’re a longtime collector or just getting started. The selection is always impressive — from sports cards to Pokémon, Magic, and everything in between. What really sets this place apart is Collin himself. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely passionate about the hobby, and always happy to help you find exactly what you’re looking for or just chat cards. The shop has a great vibe — welcoming, organized, and full of cool finds. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time just browsing or talking sh

Hate to say it, but I fear this is a scalper's shop. No single selection. Very limited selection. The stuff they did have (Magic the gathering/pokemon) is stuff from Walmart and marked up way beyond reason. They had the MJ holdings chaos boxes at $35. The final fantasy mtg set was marked up even higher. The bundle ($70 anywhere else) was marked up to $99. The pokemon stuff they had was so unrealisticly priced all the way down to the set packs. Please do not fall for their games, dont spend a dime here. There are far better card shops in the area that deserve the business.
