My favorite board game shop!! Whenever I travel, I try to check out all the board game shops I can,…read moresince they're so few and far between. Illusive is just unmatched. The customer service, the vibe, and the selection are all sooo good. I got into board games about a year ago, and discovering that you can play games for free in-store or rent from their huge selection for a small fee was a game changer. It really helped me and my partner figure out what kinds of games we liked before committing to a purchase. Every time I'm in, or whenever I have questions, the employees are so accommodating and kind. You can tell they genuinely know their stuff about every game they carry. They're also dog friendly, inclusive, creating a really welcoming community that i really appreciate!

I moved from Sacramento to Santa Clara recently for work. This store has the largest space I've…read moreseen for players in Santa Clara (from what I've seen) whether it's tabletop or to play a card game. I came in an hour before closing. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted. They asked if I was looking for anything and was shown to the card sleeve section. I've been to multiple stores that specialize in cards. Why was this the ONLY place where I found a large assortment of card sleeves for players!! Lol I met Anna(?) or Ann, and customer service was amazing, gave all information I was asking for, and showed me the weekly schedule. I am more of a mega competitive player (but not a sore winner ;-)), so I wanted to know what their schedule looked like, what is their most supported game, etc. I believe this is a more chill, casual, friendlies kind of vibe (not a bad thing at all), and I'd be open to doing more drafts or pre-release kits or something. Hoping to bring in my coworkers and friends! I can tell that they care very much about making sure they can support their community and create an inclusive and healthy space. Masks are not a big deal for me, they're effective especially nowadays with allergies, new viruses, whatever lol Lots of different card games in stock and tabletop games for rent, a cute dog and a big space for players.. but what really made things great was speaking with Al about Witch Hat Atelier. I've been to a lot of comic book stores, and I'll see the "Favorite Picks", but that's about it. Al and I talked about it, we went through the art, explained the intro, and it really brought me in. Al's passion for stories really made me want to look at this series. I didn't buy it, but I can honestly say that I'd love to come back to the store to find out what the next big thing is Al will share with me. I can sense that these folks are passionate, accommodating, and personable. Hoping for further successes!

It's located in Sunnyvale. They have ample parking. The shop Isn't too big but they do have a wide selection. The day we went there were two young guys working there. They were very nice and helpful. We will definitely be coming back to this location when our son wants to spend his money on some playing cards! This shop also has other locations total of three to be exact. The value of this place is great because we weren't the only customers here. At least 5 other customers were in the shop while we were there. My son enjoyed looking around at the different cards.

I was genuinely disappointed to see so many negative reviews for this amazing collectible shop…read morebecause my experience has been the complete opposite. I've sold several Pokémon cards and other collectibles here, and I felt I was compensated fairly every time. Many of the negative reviews seem to come from personal collectors who naturally place a higher emotional value on their collections. The reality is that collectibles are a market like any other--their value fluctuates based on supply, demand, and current trends. Just because someone paid retail or above retail doesn't mean the market will always support that price. The owner, AJ, is knowledgeable, honest, and transparent about how he evaluates collections. If you're willing to ask questions instead of assuming you're being lowballed, he'll gladly explain the process and how he arrives at his offers. I also took the time to compare buyback offers from other collectible shops, and most either offer significantly lower percentages or aren't interested in purchasing certain items at all. If I had to make a comparison, I'd say many other shops operate like a used car lot, while Collectible N Stuff feels more like CarMax--straightforward, professional, and transparent. AJ is a genuinely friendly, down-to-earth person who clearly knows the hobby and the business. Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend this shop. Five stars!

I've visited this business a couple times. Limited slab selection though they have several binders…read moreworth of vintage to modern and even Japanese singles. They have a few sealed English and Japanese product from Evolving Skies/OF ETBs to the Chinese Gengar 151 boxes. They also have Magic and sports cards. They have a WILD selection of Pop figures too. In terms of selling, I was told they don't buy Pokemon common or uncommon bulk but they might for V's or better. I did see them buy like 2 bigger than flat rate boxes worth of Sports cards. I was told depending on the item, they can buy 70% cash or 80% trade. In terms of buying, they say they price cards based on how much they also got them for so I've seen 10% below to 20% above TCGPlayer market price. Just like all your purchases, do your due diligence and see if you agree with their comps or if you are willing to buy at a slight premium for the convenience of being able to check out the card and not needing to wait for pay for shipping. AJ was great helping me out. Very personable. No issues getting prices when some cards were unmarked. I also sold some slabs to him, a lot I couldnt give a flying fc while some I know had value but I just didnt have the time to sell. I had to comp the valuable ones in person but he gave me all the time I needed, never rushed me or sounded annoyed and the rest I essentially just used to help me get a better percent on what I valued. Note that the highest valued slab was ~$150-$200 depending on how you comp. We ended up with a 60 or 65% coin flip probably less with the random slabs I added on.. Never did I think I'd coin flip in a shop. I did win, but did I really? Haha. I did get cash which I wanted cause I'll be going on a couple trips but overall still a positive experience for both visits in the shop.
