This shop has all you need for you TCG needs I go for my pokemon cards. They have nice displays and the store is always neat and clean. They always have tournaments so that's cool to see. Every time me and my boyfriend go the nice guy with glasses says hey guys. It's nice that there are still friendly people out there . Going back to get more cute pokemon cards .

Core TCG is an excellent LSG. It never fails to have an excellent stock of trading cards. Will always come here if I'm in the area. During these times - masks are encouraged but not mandatory.

Hands down one of my favorite card stores for Pokémon cards. Everything in the store is very organized, with a huge array of vintage and modern cards. Will recommend coretcg to anyone!

bruce turner | Aug 25, 2021
Derek Ruano | Aug 25, 2021

If you picked it up at the store, it's just their way of saying it was picked up. If your getting it shipped you will get an email with a shipping number.

If they could buy pokemon cards, how would I do it?

m1ckey_rl | Aug 25, 2021
Nicole Iwasiw | Aug 25, 2021

You'd go on the website and look for the buylist link. (Bottom of the home page) It'll take you to the page where you can search for the cards manually through the different types of generations or type in specific cards into the search bar provided. (Make sure you know the difference between commons, uncommons, rares, holo rares, and reverse holo rares.) If the store is buying, it'll let you add to buylist cart. If store is not buying, then you won't be able to sell it currently to them. (Also keep in mind you need to have at least 20$ worth of cards in order for them to accept buylist) The buylist link has more instructions and information, so check that too. Hope this helps.

Do they grade cards there my son has a meotwo gx hologram pokemon card curious bout how much its worth?

Robert Villarreal | Aug 25, 2021
Core TCG | Aug 25, 2021

We certainly can help you value your card and tell you based on our experience what we think the grade of the card would be, however an official grade would come from one of the grading companies such as PSA or Beckett.

Do u guys buy Pokemon cards?

Alex Aguirre | Aug 26, 2019
Cbwicywb Ruxjwbfka | Aug 26, 2019

They do, but not all. I dont think they buy in bulk because of condition. If you have single rares, I do believe they buy, but dont expect to get hundreds. The guys working there are super nice, so dont be afraid to ask anything. I dont work there, but I still know what's what.
