My husband and I, have been going to Tom’s for months now and love it. We have introduced our nieces and nephew and they love it! Everytime we walk in he already knows it’s us and greets us with a welcoming smile.

As a small business owner myself I love to support local. We were in the area and I looked up the closet card store and it happened to be Elite so we went over. I’m more of a sports collector and there wasn’t much there but you could tell the gentleman working was a real one and not sleazy like some in the hobby. My advice is to go give them a try yourself to determine what kind of place it is and don’t put too much in these negative reviews! Hopefully next time I stop in there will be more sports cards!

Newer game store in a great location. They have a good amount of product for MTG, Pokemon, and other TCGs. I did two pre-releases for MTG here and would definitely go back for more. Prices on singles can be a little higher than market but I don’t mind.

I had the pleasure of doing business with ECG last week & I will most certainly be back. They've earned a lifelong customer. The owner was professional, he's knows his stuff and he has a great sense of humor, plus the atmosphere was fun.

This place is awesome! The owner is a super nice gentleman and easy to talk to. There is a huge selection of Pokémon cards as well as others like Magic, Lorcana, Sports, and others. The owner plans and hosts trade nights and times for people to come and play different trading card games, too. I have been to this store many times and have never had anything less than a great experience! 10/10 would recommend

Great shop! I was there for a trade night and the owner facilitated a great event. Good pricing on a selection of singles, slabs, and sealed. Will definitely be back!

This place is amazing! The owner is so down to earth, personable, and knowledgeable. The prices are great and the stock is amazing. I have found things here that other shops in the area don't have. It really feels like a local TCG store where you can talk to the owner about cards, or play a game with him on casual commander Sundays.
