My bf and I recently became interested in Pokémon cards because they’re nostalgic and really fun to open together. We journeyed 30 mins to see this store, but I had no real intention on purchasing cards for myself. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by the guy behind the register (owner). The small business owner was very kind, patient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and passionate. His store is small and cozy, so The Card Nest is the perfect name for his retail store in Jefferson Plaza (2nd floor). There was a constant stream of people for the 20-30 mins that I was there. The location was a little hard to find because there is no big sign at the Jefferson Plaza, but the owner is responsive and picked up the phone to let me know where to go. The owner’s excellent customer service and passion for cards is what got my bf and I to spend $113 and $89 respectively, for various packs of Pokémon cards. We bought some booster packs for $3.99, some for $4.99, and booster packs that came with a mini binders (the binders hold 60 cards) for $4.99. The big boxes with the extra large display cards were $20-25 each. The build and battle boxes were $20 each. The owner’s prices are very fair. I felt like he could have easily charged more for these cards, but he told us he actively sets the prices to be lower than competitors. He also warned us about not purchasing card packs with inflated prices, since Pokémon cards have been hard to obtain because distributors can’t seem to provide and restock fast enough. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would go again.
