TLDR; Pros: - pay insanely well on sealed items - don’t try to hustle you - business minded owner - best inventory in WA imo - cool layout - easy and cheap parking - good eats nearby lol - owner/worker aren’t rude. A lot of card shops have socially inept individuals who make you feel like you aren’t welcome. These guys were super cool to talk to, though! Cons: - not really a con but Tacoma is far for a lot of people. If it’s not far for you, ignore this. - no diet Baja blast in the cooler lol I’m on a diet ———— Sold majority of my collection to them and they didn’t hassle or negotiate hard. They paid extremely well. Definitely better than any shop/vendor/reseller would. And I appreciated the transparency by Jared (owner) with our deal. That’s rare to find in a business like this due to the amount of “hustlers” rather than legit business minded people. Past that, there was probably the best inventory (that I’ve seen) in WA with a very cool layout (love the tournament area being up in an arena type feel). Prices are comparable to anywhere, so you should get a better experience considering the variety. Beats out TableTop imo and the parking situation is much better (TableTop is obviously a good store as well). Wish I knew about this place before I move out of state but if I ever come back, this’ll be my new locals.
I came in here today with well over a stack of 100 cards some of them in questionable condition obviously them not having sleeves, but I did however have At least 20 cards that were an actual mint condition because they were in protective Sleeves, the person that I came in contact with appeared to be in my opinion, a Caucasian male with red hair, not sure what his name was, but he wasn’t interested in looking at any of my Pokémon cards he didn’t care If I had a rare 1997 - 1998 picachu illustrator card worth millions lol. I then left without exchanging any further words right after he told me he wasn’t interested This is the absolute worst customer service I have received in decades and keep in mind. I am only 29 years old. I wonder if others customers experienced the same similar behavior. also keep in mind I am a person of color and considered a minority in this country.
Metro Retro came to my daughter’s soccer club event Norpoint Day, on Saturday October 4th! Her whole team was SO excited about the Pokemon cards! They even donated three amazing Pokemon box sets as prizes! Jared is really nice! We definitely recommend Metro Retro! Thank you for supporting our community!!!
Jared from Metro Retro is ABSOLUTELY amazing! He donated the coolest prizes to our non profit soccer club to benefit keeping our prices the lowest in the area- making soccer accessible to even more youth in our community. He also came out to our community event and every age group of players from 4 all the way to 17 years old was at his booth! He is THE BEST! Thank you Metro Retro for caring about our community!
