I think I actually met the owner. If so, he was super nice and even gave us a free Japanese Pokemon booster pack. He has a great selection of Pokémon cards, especially the classic older ones in perfect condition with very reasonable pricing. I would definitely come back here to complete my Pokemon sets. read more

Drove 25 minutes to sell some cards, but they're not buying cards this week, that information would have saved me some time and effort.

Great shop with extremely friendly staff. They have a lot of sealed product and singles along with a couple of tables to sit down and play at. Host weekly tournaments for multiple formats/games and give out great prizes. One of the best in SD. read more

Cool little card shop. They have cards that you can dig through and they won't charge you allot for some loose cards fairly priced. That have tables to sit and edit your decks or play matches. It's a very welcoming place highly recommend read more

So glad I discovered this shop!! The shop owner does it right. No rush whatsoever to get me to buy anything. You can tell that he loves his store and that he takes care of his customers. I ended up picking up a couple booster packs and a shining fates box not etb. The owner tubby and his brother were more than happy to chat with me and talk about the recent trends when it comes to cards. I will definitely be back! read more

The service was amazing! I came in looking to add some mew cards to add to my collection and he gave me a good deal on the tin and mew card. Tubby was also super friendly, he makes the effort to know your names as well read more

Tubbys TCG - Hobby Shops Near Me - La Mesa, California

The best card shop I've been to yet! The selection of cards are amazing and they even have Japanese Pokémon cards. I'm from Los Angeles and can't find a shop like this! read more

Friendly staff. Great selection of pokemon, magic the gathering, and yu-gi-oh. Boosters, elite trainer boxes, and a ton of other stuff that is very useful. People were playing at the tables and welcomed me to join. Invited back to a tournament also I love this place. Recommending it to everyone read more

Where do I even begin? I don't think I can even begin to describe how amazing this place is but I'm gonna try. You go to Tubby's TCG to check out the merchandise, ranging from cards to beautiful action figure but you keep coming back for the vibe. Whether you're there to buy merchandise or browse and chill, Tubby's TCG is the place for you. The atmosphere is always so welcoming that you can't help but come back. Tubby is always there behind the counter to greet you with a smile the second you walk in. He takes the time to personalize the shopping experience by giving you his full attention to fulfill your shopping needs. Tubby values his customers and caters the merchandise to what they want, he takes suggestions from them and not only listens, but he genuinely goes out of his way to acquire the merchandise his customers want. Tubby isn't just a salesman or store owner, he's such an amazing person that I'd definitely call my friend! read more

This is an awesome place! They have a good selection of stuff,and great prices. Their customer service is excellent! I highly recommend Tubby's TCG read more

This is the best place ever! My Son LOVES this store. Tubby is the nicest guy and is always extremely helpful. His staff is very kind and helpful as well. Stop by! You won't be disappointed. read more

The owner remembers his customer's' names after the first time meeting. Very welcoming and I have will continue to come here for whatever I need regarding trading cards read more

I went in for the first time, and the owner was incredibly friendly and fair with his pricing. His prices were true to TCG, if not better. The variety of cards being sold was very nice (ygo, pokemon, etc). Definitely highly recommend this shop! read more

I went there once to see if there was anything I need for my Pokémon card collection. There may not be A LOT but there's really good finds. If most of the cards weren't in Japanese I would've bought the whole store! The guy there was super nice and helpful too. read more

DONT WASTE TIME GOING TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR POKÉMON! Just moved nearby and man have I been blessed with an awesome card shop. Moving to Cali I knew I'd have a hard time finding retail Pokémon products. Tubby's does their best to have fair pricing on newer Pokémon sets, as well as older sets for us more seasoned collectors. 100 percent recommend stopping by to anyone coming into town, he has amazing singles readily available as well as a variety of Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Yoh, and Digimon TCGs. read more

The community is a huge Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon scene and even as an MTG fan I would go back. Awesome customer service and great selection for their size. Tournaments are supported and a ton of fun. read more

Very friendly staff, very clean and nice inside the store. Staff was very helpful for trying to find specific cards. As of right now they have Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, Digimon, and Dragon Ball Super cards, both single cards and booster packs. Booster packs are at a good price with $4 each or 3 for $10. They even have a bunch of retro video games and systems. Highly recommend this place for anyone who likes card games, old video games, or just card collecting. read more

Don't buy your Pokémon cards anywhere else. Don't even think of driving to Target (like I did) or Best Buy (like I did) or unnamed gaming store (like I did). Just jump in the car and head straight to Tubbys (like I should've done). I was looking for starter packs for the kids since they've been asking for them for awhile now, and I couldn't get my hands on them anywhere... let's not even mention that I haven't a clue as to how this Pokémon thing even works. I know Pikachu, Squirtle and that's it. I needed guidance! I called Tubbys and they had the starter packs the kids needed to start playing. I drove straight over with the kids and we received the friendliest greeting! I had my questions answered without being made to feel like a total fool (phew), and received direction on what the kids needed. I'd like my kids to learn how to care for their new cards, so along with the starter packs, I gladly bought the little card holder binders. We also got a few extra things thrown in for free to make my kid's day! The best part was not only finding the starter packs that are so hard to find in person, but also that we got to support a small business. Why give your $$ to big corporations when you can support small business pernera who are passionate about what they do? The great prices, cool ambience (reminded me of the days when I'd hangout with my anime club waaaay before having kids... even though I knew nothing about anime, very little about gaming, and really only knew about Marvel), and the amazing customer service really made our day... no, our week. My kids and I will be back! read more
