DO NOT TRUST THIS STORE. THEY ARE SCUM AND WILL STEAL. I would give zero if I could. Basically, I was a loyal customer for about 2 years and I would regularly buy and sell cards here. Up until a year ago (when I stopped visiting). I had sold thousands of cards to this store which they credited me on my store account that I was hoping to save for a few nice singles. Last year they had an overhaul of their website and forced all users to make a new account to which our funds would be transferred. To this day I have zero credit (of which I built up to 3-4 hundred). I emailed them three different

Came to core TCG to check out their Pokemon selection and they have a great selection! It was a little overwhelming but thankfully Hector helped me out! He was super helpful and was patient as I asked all the questions and wanted to look at all the products even though it was super busy. I’d say definitely check core out bc they have a wide selection! It was pretty busy when I went around 1-2pm so I’d recommend going a little later to avoid the crowd.

CoreTCG is hands down the best card shop I have ever been in. What makes Core different is their dedication to the player base. They not only carry product for all modern card games but put in the additional effort to cultivate an active player base through their tournaments and events. It doesn’t matter if it’s the hottest most profitable game, CoreTCG will support the community. Their dedication to the player extends into their excellent customer service as well. Shoutout to their front-of-house staff Darwin, Daniel, and Jake keeping things running smoothly and customers happy. These guys ar

It’s absurd to me that a trading card store will offer 70% for both cash and instore credit. Not only that, if you call over the phone they offer you very little help and in an attitude manner tell you to check the website which doesn’t hold the exact inventory or tell you how many of each product they have.

Best shop around hands down. Anyone who says they are overpriced... please lead me to the cheaper shops. Please. Their prices are market priced fairly. Usually below. If you don't like reality, then keep chasing the Target restocks. Vigen is an angel and we love him. Protect him at all costs. The rest of the staff is aight. If you want anything new, they have it. These guys have inventory and they treat their regulars well!

Created a buylist and sent the cards in. Received confirmation on a Wednesday that my cards were graded and that I'd receive payment (store credit in this case) within 24 hours. By Friday, I called to inquire on my payment since it had been 48 hours and I hadn't heard anything back. They told me to send an email since the front desk guys dont have any involvement with buylists. So far I've sent an email friday and a follow up on saturday. Its now Sunday night and I don't have payment and I have zero communication from them. You pretty much have no recourse with their sales team since you can't

Super friendly staff, they give extra care and attention to all their guests, even the little ones. They didn't seemed bothered to answer any questions about cards or prices. We will definitely be back!

I purchased three dominus purge from them and they took it upon themselves to only sell me one (without informing me), thus wasting my time and effort when i could have gone elsewhere. Furthermore they haven't refunded me for the two that they didn't sell to me even though i paid in full at checkout. This is blatant stealing!! I want them to make it right! Either ship me the other two purges or give me back my money.
