Great little shop. The girl working was friendly and polite (I feel like this isn’t always the norm). Pokemon selection of singles was a lot bigger than I expected. Other metro stores don’t seem to have as much available or they price them unfairly. I didn’t trade anything in on my visit this time, but I imagine they’d offer a fair comp since they’re pricing based on TCGplayer. I got some nice art cards for the price and there was a ton of bulk and lower priced dollar EX etc cards available too. Lots of video games available as well. Will be nice when the retail market for pokemon settles d

Pulled one of the gold, mega ultra rare cards from the new mega evolutions Pokémon set. Called the shop asked them if they were interested in buying it. I told the worker that I lived pretty far from the store and asked if we could get a offer over the phone and checked quality when I get there and they sounded excited made a cash offer and told me to bring it in and when I got there, they wouldn’t buy it because they couldn’t verify the price that they already verified for me on the phone, so I drove all the way there and wasted about an hour of my time.

This is a great little shop! I do mean little... about the size of the average living room. Its owner is a gamer and a collector. They've got a great selection of games and consoles. I'm not into card games, but they've got them, too. It also looks like they repair gaming consoles too. The staff is great to talk to and very knowledgeable. It's definitely worth a stop when you're in town like I was or several stops if you live in town. I'll definitely be back.

Great selection of vintage video games - including PC! They actually had Pokemon cards when I visited, although they clearly got them at marked up rates given how much they were (about twice what MSRP used to be). Unfortunately, the location is not handicap accessible. The stairs are quite steep, so be careful of your footing.

I went here a few months back, and Its a good small store with a good selection of items, the only problem I have is that I think one of the workers tried stealing one of my cards that WAS worth a good amount. Long story short I went in to trade in my cards, after I left I noticed my most expensive card I had was missing, We went back in to try to find it but the workers said they didn't have it. Well that was clearly a lie SINCE after searching through some cards that the worker handed us, there was nothing, but only after he handled it a few times after was then when it somehow magically app

Uptown is a cool spot! While mostly focused on video games, they also have some tcg. They have lots of pokemon and a bit of mtg. Fun store with helpful staff!
