I love this store, but more importantly the selection and staff are beyond amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Chris went out of his way to help my nephew even though the store was busy. Brooks was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They have a huge selection with a little bit for everyone from vintage cards along with sealed wax and the Pokemon selection was solid, all with great prices. We ended up leaving with a few Pokemon cards and a baseball hobby box. From the moment we walked in to when we were leaving, we felt so welcome. I'm so glad to have this l

BEST card shop I’ve ever interacted with. A couple days ago they pulled me a /20 cooper flagg auto on whatnot. I let the breakers know that I would prefer to pick up. I made the 7 hour trip from Indianapolis and it was well worth it. Very nice shop with extremely friendly people. They also bought some cards I was looking to sell for a very respectable comp. 10/10 would recommend this shop for anyone local or passing through. Make sure to check them out on Whatnot for great deals as well !

Magic City Collectibles is easily my go-to spot for Pokémon cards in Birmingham, Alabama. I come in multiple times a week and the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I’ve made plenty of trades with them for sealed product and singles, and everything has always been fair and smooth. Their Pokémon card selection is huge, from sealed boxes to singles, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other shops. Everyone there is personable and actually takes time to talk Pokémon, help with trades, and make sure you’re taken care of. If you’re into Pokémon TCG in Birmi

One of the best shops in town by far! I wanted to submit some of my cards to PSA but wasn’t sure about the process. One of the managers took their time in explaining to me how it all works and looked at my cards to see if they were even worth grading! He was very patient with me from all of the questions I had. I can’t wait to send more cards off to PSA with this shop!

Always have great experiences at the shop. Brooks and all the employees take the time to look at each card and make each visit personable! Definitely taught me so much about the hobby and are good people to work deals and learn more!

I had been to the story several times over the years and recently went in and made a large deal of a rare Babe Ruth card along with a smaller pokemon card. It was a Saturday afternoon and the banks were already closed to get the cash needed out so we agreed on me coming back by early in the week on Tuesday or Wednesday evening to bring what was owed for the card. I arrived at 5:25 on Tuesday as promised to a sign saying they closed at 5:30 that day granted it’s not yet 5:30. I called and left a detailed voicemail that I had come by the office and was standing outside, but they were closed and

***Update*** as promised I went back and gave Magic City a second chance. The experience was night and day different! I have changed the rating from 3 to 5 stars. The staff were amazing and were very helpful across the board! The inventory was plentiful and I can highly recommend this card shop after an improved experience. First review below. Mixed experience; solid selection, but customer interaction could improve.” All things considered, our visit was okay overall. One staff member was helpful, but the rest seemed disengaged, offering side-eyes more than assistance. It felt like our pre
