Easily my favorite store, always has everything I need in stock. They are always friendly and have good deals

A new local card shop hidden in the bay, we just discovered this shop upon a whim while visiting another store in the same plaza and decided to check it out after we found out it was a TCG hobby shop. Their sealed selection for TCG is pretty awesome, from Weiss Schwarz, Pokémon, and Yu Gi Oh - they have a nice variety of sets to choose from. For Pokémon/Weiss they even have Japanese products that I haven't seen very often despite the high demand for certain sets they do have them readily available for sale. We came in here and left with more than we anticipated in a good way, the staff is really nice and welcoming! We ripped into some packs and pulled a hit from Azur Lane while we were there. Check this new gem out in Newark if you're looking for great products to start or add to your collection (: read more

really helpful staff and crazy range of products, i recommend coming here for all tcg needs!

Very nice people. Helpful. Gave us useful information about getting into Pokémon cards

I've seen the many transitions of this place! I remember when they first opened and was wondering when a shop opened. I havent been back until recently. They're mostly a pokemon shop with a few games on the left wall. Everything is reasonable priced and the people there are hella helpful. I was asking hella questions they always had an answer. read more

Good people, good prices and good business! I am an avid card collector and they have a great selection of cards and customer service is on point. Would definitely recommend this shop and a must go to when I'm in the Bay read more

Great atmosphere and awesome staff. We come here every week and love to support this business, the store dog (Melody) is sometimes there and she's so cute! The card scene here is lively and we've been to one of the personal events 88 has held and it was so fun! I recommend anyone to come, they're very welcoming! read more

they has lots of selections for cards and boxes. they host tournaments as well. a big community in this place

This is hands-down the place to go for Pokémon cards! I found them when I went to Collect-a-Con in Long Beach, and was excited to find a Bay Area vendor there. Customer service is 10/10. Mike, Sherman, and James were so friendly and really excited when I shared how I wanted to restart my Pokémon card collection up again. Pair that was really good prices, it's a no brainer. Though they're further for me, they'll now be my primarily go to spot for cards! Looking forward to preordering Silver Tempest from them later this year! read more

Looking for a card shop that doubles as an obstacle course? Look no further! Nothing screams 'customer care' like a Lamborghini strategically blocking the entrance--especially for disabled customers who might *actually* need access. Who needs cards when you can experience the thrill of being physically barred from entry? If you enjoy watching inclusivity take a backseat to luxury car placement, this place delivers! read more

I came here with my son to check out what they have and it was a bad experience. The workers had an open bottle of alcohol and they were letting people smoke inside a full shop. Also, there was a lot of cursing with a certain individual and I assume the owner was cool with him since they were joking around. Such a bad reputation for the shop. Worst part its the only card shop in the area too read more

I love this place! We visit often. The kids love it as well as us adults. Excellent customer service. Quality merchandise. I would recommend this place to anyone and do often. 5 star service for sure! Thank you 88! You guys are G R E A T! read more

Drove all the way from San Jose here since a couple one piece players told me this is the spot to be at and they weren't wrong! Bigger Selection than legends or any card shop in the bay. And the pricing is reasonable yet affordable which we all know taxing is stupid in the bay but not here! Def coming back for their tournments if in ever in the area read more

Overall, one of the better card shops are. Friendly staff and a good selection of cards.

Service is not too bad. Card selection is better than expected with a lot of newly released boxes.

The best community and the nicest staff. Has all the best selection of cards and amazing Yugioh tournaments each week.

The staff was amazing and super friendly. My daughter got her first pokemon card. I plan to go back soon and join their tournaments. I love supporting businesses that really enjoy what they do. read more

88 Cardhouse - We came by just to look, and ended up leaving with a little more than we expected. There's always gems laying around! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Newark, California

My favorite cardshop! Come here to play yugioh every week and it's always a good time.

I love coming here! This place very lively, it's always fill with people that are playing and trading cards. Y'all should check out their selections that they have in the glass case, I feel like there's new cards everyday/week. Plus they have binders and bulk boxes that you can look through, I was able to find really good cards that I want/need. They also give good deals when you buy a lot and plus they have amazing customer service. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to come and vide out on Pokémon cards. Little dog is cute also we love to see him.

Stumbled across their booth at the Silicon Valley Comic Con this year and they had such a variety of inventory! I picked up some base set packs and some cute Pokémon plushies for my nephews. The customer service was 10/10 and they were so great about making deals with my purchases, plus even gave me some freebies for the kids. Wished I won some stuff from their raffle, but will definitely be checking out their store! read more

Love it here staff is friendly. Everyone else is nice. Very clean. They host tournaments weekly. Just ask.

I preordered with 88 Cardhouse and got a steal. Well below market for the yu gi oh set compared to others prices when it released. Key is to preorder early with them to get the best deal. I also like that their staff is super friendly and cool dudes. Definitely visiting again. read more

Best prices, tournaments have awesome prize support and staff is very helpful. They have a vast selection of singles as well

Don't come here expecting any customer service. 15 minutes of looking at the packs and boxes on the wall and not even a hello. I saw a review that showed an open Hennessy bottle so this place is definitely not kid friendly. Way to ruin your rep with stupid choices that reflect your business as a whole. This place won't last long. read more

Just bought these bad boys from 88. It's been hard to find a place that carries special Pokémon boxes and were super minty! For sure going to be my new spot for Pokémon cards. read more

Price gouges. Went in looking for the new Disney card game and they charged over triple the price for a pack and 50% over msrp for a starter set. Sure there's a law of supply and demand, but it doesn't make a customer want to be loyal to a store who charges obsurd prices. Take your business elsewhere read more

Really friendless staff and great variety on all your hobby needs. There is the cutest dog at the shop there also so it's always a nice vibe here! read more

I got some good rare cards today yugioh and love live school idols festival all stars cards read more

The best Pokemon card shop in town. They have a pretty big selection of graded cards and binders to help complete your collection. The people who work there are great ambassadors for the hobby. The shop is a fun hangout spot--check it out! Oh, and ask for Buddha read more

Great service! Great selection of product! Pulled a lot of value! Community is great and inclusive!

One of the best shops! The workers are very friendly and welcoming, and provide some of the best customer service. I've been finding myself here multiple days in the week, and they were always open to any questions I may have as someone starting off in collecting One Piece and Weiss Schwarz. This place is the reason I'm now falling into a TCG addiction read more

Have my 11 year-old nephew visiting from Korea and the first thing he wanted to do was eat an in-n-out burger with a milk shake and then go to 88 Cardhouse. How he knew of this place from Korea... I don't know. Regardless, can't thank these guys enough. Super friendly, great store, great vibe, and my nephew left with a first edition card from the money he had been saving up for this visit. Really appreciate the people at this store as it meant a lot to him. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

Was in the area for my son's Muay Thai class and decided to do a Yelp search of Pokémon cards in the area. This particular card store showed up as top search result so decided to surprise my son by going here after his class. We both walked in and were in awe of the Pokemon selection.. from boxes I've never seen before to Japanese packs, the selection was mind blowing. The staff showed my son lots of love by giving him a free Pokémon lunch box and some free promo cards. That alone made my son's day, as well as mine! The customer service alone gets a 5-star automatically from me. Also lots of loose singles but will have to make a return visit since we were pressed for time. There was a lot of card gamers at the time of our visit, so felt like the store could be bigger. But nonetheless, best store if you're into Pokémon cards read more

Great service, staff is very friendly. Huge trading card game selection. The value of everything is very well priced. They have weekly events for different TCG's. Staff is also very knowledgeable on the different TCG's. If you have any questions about anything stop in the shop or give them a call. read more

No better than the scalpers. I'm from out of state and was wanting to try Lorcana with a few friends I work with. I started searching for somewhere to buy a starter deck and some booster packs. I called asking if they had any Lorcana cards in stock and the guy on the phone told me yes and that they had boosters and starter decks. I got a Lyft straight there and when I arrived he told me they had no booster packs and when he rang me up he then told me a 17$ MSRP starter deck was 45$ before tax. Absolutely ridiculous, I understand a markup at a LGS but a 175% markup is practically criminal! I can't stand LGS's that take advantage of people! You'll get more for your money at a reseller! read more
