The monthly card breaks held on Saturday evenings are fun events for all ranges of collectors, from young kids just learning about sports cards to old guys like me! The owner and his crew are the best, too. If you haven't stopped in lately, you should... and if you want a fun evening, come to the next card break!

Many years ago, a card shop existed in Yakima, but with the junk wax era of the 90s and early…read more2000s, it went by the wayside....Enter the Covid era! When Pokémon and Baseball cards became a thing again! This shop is located in the back of Northtown coffee just passed the main dining room on the left. They have a great selection of baseball, basketball and football cards. They've also got a big selection of Pokémon cards. They have single cards for sale, boxes of almost anything you can think of, wall art, as well as plenty of hard cases, protective sleeves, and storage boxes. The guys who work here are very knowledgeable about what they sell and aren't trying to upsell you on anything. If anything, they recommend the less expensive options if it means better stuff for you. It's a great place to go with your kids if they're starting to get interested in sports, and also a fun spot to stop by and just talk sports with other like-minded individuals. There's been more than one occasion that I found myself watching a baseball game for 15 or 20 minutes and here it just talking about in the season in general. It's a great trip down nostalgia road and a fun way to connect with other guys. Once a month, they host a card show in the main lobby. It has been and and continues to be a really fun event that my boys and I look forward to. They've also started doing Pokémon nights as well the focus on kids wanting to either learn the game and trade in a supervised environment. Its a fun evening and great for the kids! This is a wonderful addition to the community and a spot you should consider checking out!

the owner is a thief and a liar, he does not play any of the games that he sells. He acts like he…read moreis a memeber of the gaming community of yakima, he is not, he doesn't understand the games he sells, he does not understand the community. the gaming community does not want a person who takes advanatge of its memebers, who steals money by taking orders and then never delivering, makes empty promises, prices higher than anyone else in town and claims that it is the cheapest, is an abuser of animals and all aroud a creep espeically to women under the age of 25 with history of lies and stolen valor. Do not give him your money. He is not welcome in the gaming community. He is not welcome in yakima. This man and his store do not belong here or anywhere.

Has claims of lowest prices in the area.. All the pricings are at scalper costs and to be honest even scalper prices are lower. When asking questions, the owner got real defensive and confrontive. This is not the first experience iv had here that's been poor. In the past purchases have been made to have products orderd, MTG, 40K, AOS, hundreds of dollars and then get told it's been ordered and will arrive next week or two... So iv waited and waited during those times to never receive anything paid for. The money taken.. and the one time was capable of getting anything back it was only partial amount..then there's the pricings this dude had at this fan fest. Absolutely ridiculous. This comes after hoping maybe he would be better given time. And understand that cons pricing can very but double the cost for products is an insane markup. And then come to see this guy Jesse the owner has abused his dog abandoning them.

This place is an absolute joke. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. First, they aren't open during the…read morehours they advertise. I have gone here several times only to find out they were closed during the day. They are only open from 3-6 on certain days. Basically the days they choose to be open. Second, every single time I have gone there, they are not able to help me. They know nothing about RC cars. I took them a nitro Traxxas car, they have had it for 3-weeks and can't figure out why it won't start. Nice people, bad customer service. I will now go all the way to Tri Cities to get my RC car parts.

Theres nothing more frustrating than not being able to play because I have to wait a week or two for a $5.00 part and pay almost as much for shipping. Tip: He will also order online for you. It might seem odd ordering online from a traditional retail store but I get the same price and I don't have to pay shipping. Further, if there's a problem he deals with it! How much is that worth? ;-)

It's a cute spot a block off the main street, with character and charm to spare! They've got a pretty epic selection of board games, cards games, puzzles, kits and some TCGs including Pokémon and D&D. The frisbee section was also quite impressive. The place isn't massive but isn't small either. We spent like 30 minute perusing and liked what we found. The folks running the shop were very helpful and very nice. They all seemed to have played a lot of board games! Prices were where we expected them - not a discount shop, but nothing crazy. Very much what we expected to pay and based on the Pokémon ETB and two board games were walked out with, I'd say we're fans!

If you don't know, us local nerds call this Gus's Place, and for good reason; it's Gus's store!…read more You've got comics, board games, movies, Warhammer models, D&D books and minis (a LOT of minis), posters, books, and trading card games. There's a huge selection of Magic the Gathering sets to choose from, not just the most recent couple of releases. The prices are right, and Gus is always willing to help you find what you're looking for. My only gripe with the place is the hours. They usually open at 12 (1pm on Sundays), and that's so late. This is a problem with all the hobby shops in town (and elsewhere, I'm sure), so I won't mark him down for it.
