Directory

Card shops near me

A directory of local trading card shops in the US, Canada and the UK, starting with the biggest cities. Pick your country, then jump to your city.

We list 117 shops so far. We only add a shop after checking it against its own website (or, for chains, the chain's location page), and every listing shows the date we checked it. There are no star ratings, reviews or paid placements. The list is growing city by city, and shops can add themselves for free.

How to find a good card shop near you

  • Check what they carry. Some shops focus on sports cards, others on games like Pokémon, Magic or One Piece. The game tags on each listing come from the shop's own website.
  • Look at the event calendar. Game stores that run weekly league nights or prereleases usually post them online, and those nights are the easiest time to trade.
  • Ask about buylists and grading. Many shops buy collections and some send cards off for grading. Policies differ, so ask before you bring a binder. Our guides to card grading companies and PSA grading costs explain the options.
  • Know the release dates. New sets sell fastest in the first days. Our release calendar lists upcoming sets across games.

How we build this list

We started with the largest metro areas in each country: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle and Denver in the US; Toronto and the GTA, Ottawa, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton in Canada; and London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and Bristol in the UK. A shop goes in only when its own site confirms its city (and, where shown, its street address). Shops whose sites we could not load, or whose sites did not mention trading cards, were left out for now. Read our methodology for how we check data across the site.

Card shops are part of a wider boom. See the card shop growth and card show boom data pages, or find an upcoming card show.
