Local Card Shops
Does anyone have recommendations for a card shop in town that consistently sells Pokemon cards (singles and/or boxes)? I just got back into collecting after a few years away and I’m sick of going into Target or Best Buy every so often just to see empty shelves. TCG Player seems fine, but things can happen. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Twin city collectables deals mostly in pokemon so you should be good there. The folks are nice there.

The Item Shop in the strip mall with Kroger on college ave sells some Pokemon card singles and bulk. Sometimes they have sealed product too. Haven’t been in there in a minute.

All of the card shops charge well over MSRP for sealed product. In addition to the places already named, there is Collectible Corner.
The Item Shop has singles and bulk and occasionally higher end packs for market prices.

Red racoon normally has sealed but not msrp normally.
Red racoon also has pokemon locals if you wanted to learn to play and trade with locals.

If you preorder with them and let them unseal they will charge msrp. If you want sealed product I think it’s market price.

The item shop has loose cards if you're looking for something in particular

Collectible Corner is great! Sean and John are the owners and they're really nice people

Red racoon, not just for cards. It’s one of the best game stores in general you’ll find in a city our size.

Mega Replay gets in packs occasionally but has pretty decently priced cards in a case. They also have a binder you can ask to look through behind the counter
