They have a good selection of cards and it's pretty rare that they don't have a card in stock. For reference I primarily buy more popular edh cards in the 2$ and up range. The pricing is fair and the cards are in good condition. Service is quick, I really have nothing to complain about. The atmosphere here is good and the people are nice. I can't speak much to the tabletop and board games section but there is a lot of stuff there covering all sorts of games. It's worth stopping by

Service: I have had good service here and in the past they have assisted me with special orders that was "friendly local gaming store" exclusives. Staff has always been friendly. They also have a lot of game tables in the store that groups can rent out to play their games on. When I came in there was a group playing Dungeons and Dragons, which seamed like they were having a lot of fun. Selection: Decent selection of games here but the card (Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, etc.) is the meat and bones of the Game Hub retail. The selection is good from what I understand but I am not a collectible card game enthusiast. Worth checking out if you are though. Value: The games here are standard retail price and they have a decent selection of miniatures for sale.

They have…read morebeen around for over 20 years and I remember coming here pre-Covid for Yugioh tournaments to huge gatherings of people sharing their passion for a game. How many small businesses can say they were responsible for bringing lifelong friends together and provide people an escape to their daily lives through a positive channel? I read through some reviews and there are some people claiming that packs are being resealed, but I those are just people who are frustrated with their luck. It's disappointing to see that they are projecting their own pack addiction on the integrity of the family that are so humble and friendly. To be in business for 20 years you have to be pretty honest in your practices to survive.

Diane is amazing, she's always so excited to show me the newest toys and her enthusiasm makes the whole experience even more fun. They always have a great selection, and I enjoy browsing through all the treasures. My only suggestion would be to carry more pins like Tokidoki, Sanrio, Disney and expand the blind box section those are always so popular and would make the store even better. Overall, this is such a wonderful place to shop. Thank you for always making it such a great experience!

Bought a Pokemon Celebrations Collection Box from Finch and Sparrow and opened it at home to find…read moreit had been resealed. Now Finch and Sparrow will claim the box was not resealed, here are several significant indicators to prove it was resealed: 1. Two different types of hot glue were used in the sealing of the box. 2. Celebrations packs flaps were not sealed down. 3. One pack of Battle Styles did not have an energy card in it. 4. One pack of Celebrations had 3 of the same Lugia in it. All of the above mentioned aspects are definite indicators that the box had been resealed. Again, Finch and Sparrow denies this, so they will no longer be seeing me or anyone in my card collecting community. I'm glad it only cost me $180 to learn this lesson, as I usually spend much more. I wouldn't recommend Finch and Sparrow.
