Star City Games review

The store trades the major trading card games rather than every game on the market, including Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Lorcana and more. Alongside those games it sells individual cards, sealed boxes and booster packs, so a buyer after one specific card and a buyer after unopened product are served in the same shop.

Yes, the store runs a buylist, so cards you no longer want can go to it rather than sitting in a drawer. Selling works alongside the buying side of the shop, which suits collectors clearing space once a set is finished.

The store concentrates on a set of well known trading card games rather than every title. If your game sits outside that range, check the catalogue before you plan a purchase, because anything outside it is not something this store buys or sells.

Alongside cards and sealed product, the store lists supplies such as sleeves, deck boxes and playmats. That matters for players who want to finish or protect a deck at the table rather than simply adding another booster to an order.

It suits readers who want cards bought and sold in the same place, whether they are after an individual card or unopened product. Fans of the games it trades can cover most of a collection from a single store, and hobbyists can add supplies to the same order.

Sealed boxes and booster packs sit in the same catalogue as individual singles, so a buyer after unopened product finds it in a store that also sells opened cards. Collectors building a sealed box alongside the singles to go with it can cover both in one order.
