Edit: I misunderstood that the store was open for casual play and trade while the owner was giving me a tour of the store. That's on me. I'm leaving the review below unedited, so the owner's reply makes contextual sense. Apparently, the store does allow casual gatherings. End edit I can't speak on the sports side of this store as I've only had dealings with Magic: The Gathering. While this store does have magic events, it's not a hangout kind of store where you can bring your collection and play and trade when there isn't an event going on. That said, it is a fantastic place to purchase sealed MTG products, especially new releases. The staff are very friendly, though the owner is a bit intense and business over else (bear in mind my interaction with him is relatively limited and my own opinion). That said, you can absolutely trust he's running the store to not price things above MSRP and tries to give everyone an equal chance to pick up new releases. The website and store also sync up with inventory, which is nice to see the availability of both locations without calling or going in.

I Always stop in when near NB and am delighted by the staffs/owners greetings and helpfulness. Their binders and supplies are reasonable and despite most places being sold out there is usually something worth picking up. It's also nice they help me with carrying items to my vehicle as a disabled veteran It's appreciated.
I had an absolutely amazing experience at this card shop! As a huge Pokémon fan, I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. The owner was incredibly knowledgeable, offered fair and appropriate prices, and truly went above and beyond to make my visit special. Not only did they recognize my love for Pokémon, but they also generously gifted me some promo cards and accessories. I opened my Prismatic Eevolutions box right there in the shop, and they thoughtfully provided a mat so my cards could stay in pristine condition during the unboxing. To top it all off, I pulled a Flareon SIR! Without hesitation, the owner supplied me with penny sleeves and a top loader to protect the card on the spot. That kind of care and attention is rare these days. If you’re a collector or just a fan of Pokémon, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
