The graded card tray isn’t painted yet, but this will give you an idea of the look I was going for for the card shop. Painting these will be an pain in the a** but the final results will look great.

Trading card shop update: I made significant progress this past week. Finished all carpentry work on 15 display cases for my new shop. It was a heavy lift that took me 3 weeks to do. The effort was worth it. IMO they turned out beautiful. Next steps is for me to wood

Card shop update: This weekend I took delivery of all of the electronics for the shop that will allow me to setup and configure my live streaming studio along with 2 live pack break zones. My plan is to allow customers to break packs live in the shop and record the footage

Our shop is closed today to customers, but we’re still hard at work prepping for the weekend. Here is an inside look at what we do occasionally to make sure we have loose booster packs available for our customers.

I know that I mainly post about Pokemon and that’s what my store will specialize in, but I will also be carrying other products as well. How is everyone feeling about one piece? It seems like a hot TCG at the moment. I should be getting 75 booster boxes of OP-3 pillars of

Trading Card Shop Update: I built the cabinetry for 2 built in fridges. The small spaces to the left and right of the fridge is for 10 in glass shelves. Most likely I’ll float poke balls in that space. The big center space is for a built in kegerator which will house cold

One of my distributors had a small restock of Fusion Strike Sleeved Booster Packs. I was lucky enough to snag 10 cases. There are 144 sleeved packs per case so I just got in 1444 sleeved packs. I’m getting my grand opening sale items prepared and most likely will be running

Even though our grand opening is not until September 15 we’ve had a lot of customers swing by the shop to see if we’re open. We would never consider turning a customer away. Good luck on those evolving skies packs.
