Stopped by Aki Collectibles and had a really great experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer my questions without making me feel rushed. They have a nice selection of collectibles, and it's obvious they care about both the products they carry and their customers. Overall, it was an easy, enjoyable experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. If you're into trading cards, collectibles or want to be a part of a wonderful community, I'd definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Very friendly and cozy space. They have fairly priced One Piece, Pokémon, and Riff Bound cards, with bulk in the back for you to look through. They have six tables for playing. When we visited, it wasn't too busy and everyone had such a warm, positive energy. They also sell labubus, figurines, and card organization items. Unfortunately, they do not have a restroom in house but you can head over next door to use their restroom! Place is well-lit and the decor is nicely displayed all around without feeling too jam-packed. Would definitely come back to play during their tournament days, or even to play casually with other gamers. read more

Wow... out of around 10 card shops, this was my worst experience. My husband and I walked in and were browsing... guys behind counter had absolutely no customer service skills. No hello, no acknowledgement when we were right in front of them. Do not come here expecting friendliness. Would not buy from here, there are far better card shops with better prices and better variety. read more

This is the second time I've been here and the first time I was going to just move on and maybe it was a one time thing but after today they get a bad review, about 3 weeks ago I went here with some friends to buy some one piece cards for our decks we are just starting out, they have a good selection and most of the things we needed, I ask do you guys take trades, I have some high value alt leaders from my collection I'm trying to trade to get the cards, he says yes and I show him the cards and he says he will pass, mind you theses cards are $150 and $250 so maybe they don't want high end sure so I passed on buying the cards. Come to today my friend and I walk in and gonna buy a few things and when I asked about the cards i wanted I wanted to trade for them. The guy who was not very helpful when we walked in he was just on his company didn't acknowledge us we had to ask him for cards for him to say anything to us, he looks at the 2 cards I'm going to trade in which are about $20 and highly playable in the current meta and they don't have in the case or binders, he like we are gonna pass, I was like wow 2 for 2 in passing on cards when I come here like wow, also my friend asked for a card in the case he said $36 and there was another one in the case with a price tag we noticed after and it said $40 so he asked if he could price match the $36 and he said no, so safe to say stay away and definitely do not sell cards there or trade cause apparently they don't take trades or price match things in the case read more

if you go, Min is your guy. Other employees are just stand offish and aren't friendly unless you know them. When I first came, Min was super helpful with exploring my options. The pokemon booster are way too overpriced. You're better off going other card shops near by. read more

They tried to sell me a card for $150 when it's $50 market price tops...that's 3 times more expensive. It felt like they were trying to scam me when I told them I was new to the hobby. I've been to quite a number of card shops in 2 weeks, about 10 (it's a problem honestly) and never felt like I was being scammed this bad, usually they check the market price on each card on their phone or laptop before naming it to you. Sometimes it's a dollar or two over market but it depends on how much you want the card, which can be taken as a convenience fee. But I noticed he didn't even check the price for this card before saying it was $150. Only PSA 10s reach the price they were asking for and the card was raw ungraded. I also checked the price before inquiring and wanted to buy it because at market price the card is half the cost of the English version and is better quality, so I was shocked when they said it was more expensive than the English since it's "harder to pull." Even before asking about this particular card, I already noticed that many of the cards are above market price. On top of that there was some kind of heavy warm smell in the air, not sure if someone was eating something? Felt like it hit me the moment I stepped in and I couldn't figure out what it was coming from. Needless to say I won't be back. read more

This is one of the better Pokemon stores in socal. Under a chill location and not a massive selection but GREAT PRICES AND GREAT SELECTION of what they do have available is all stuff you would want !! read more

Place is hit or miss at times. I would call if you plan to come in early as they aren't always opened the times they have listed on Yelp . Place isn't bad but not much variety . Prices a bit on the higher end compared to other lcs in the sgv. read more

Best San Gabriel card shop there is everyone go go go go go. They are very nice and they respect you as a person they ask how you are doing every single time and they really take the effort to get to know you. I love this place. This place is amazing. I suggest everyone go to this place if you ever looking for a place to go to this is the place. read more

Small shop with a big selection of unopened product and singles. Lots of graded singles. Has some of the top sought after graded cards. I bought myself a psa 10 unknown pokemon card. I was very happy to look at all these super expensive cards in person. The owner gave me a great deal on the card I wanted. read more

Jason is an amazing owner and takes care of his guests/clients really well. Great selections on variety of product, Pokemon, Magic, One Piece. Plus his prices on products are amazing compared to other shops around the area. His store is the first place I will be going to when looking for any TCG product. read more

These guys are great! Always welcoming and great prices. This is my go-to spot for cards and boxes.

Goated shop with goated prices. Always got lucky buying from here too lol. Come here if you want hits ‍

lame store honestly... they have a small selection and the boys working there need to work on their manners bc they were pretty rude. standing there waiting forever and they are just talking amongst themselves, barely acknowledging us. one of the boys was just spread out and blocking the display case.. def didn't have the typical good card shop etiquette read more

Great customer service, and an all around great vibe. Product is well priced and a great variety of English and Japanese. read more

A new local card shop in the area with great service and selection of product. Gordon is super friendly and knowledgable. Products valued fairly and definitely will be back again! read more

Aki Collectibles, there's not too much to say other than amazing. Ever since their soft opening they have been my go to place from One Piece singles and great prices for English and Japanese booster boxes to all things Pokemon. They even have some high end slabs. The customer service is top notch and they really take the time to answer any questions. A must stop up and coming shop. read more

Great prices and good people working here! I got a cookie from Jason and he's very negotiable!

A good stop for japanese cards. Definitely have been coming for a while now would recommend

Skip if you looking for reasonable prices. They price a lot of their stuff above market price and don't budge much on pricing. Example, at time of this post, DR BB selling for 320 on TCGplayer. They want 350. Paldea evolved BB selling for 380 they want 420. Not sure what site they use to get their market pricing but it's definitely wrong. Hard to support a local shop when I can get cheaper online read more

super friendly staff, the store is extremely clean and well lit! great deals especially on japanese cards :))

i already did a review on google but it seems like the owner are deleting bad reviews. came there twice from a friend recommendation and had fun. but knowing one of the worker who was talking bad about me when one of my friend visited and the worker forgot i am friends with that person. gordon needs to work on his customer service and keep his opinion to himself. i bought a black bolt pokemon center and want to open it. it seems like gordon had an issue with me for not keeping it seal and for other reasons. i have no issue with jason as he has been helpful and chill. read more
