Great little Trading Card store where you can purchase booster boxes of Pokemon and other sets. You can also buy single cards for a reasonable price, every comic book store will raise the price of their product to stay competitive against others and make some profit. The owners are willing to do deals if you buy bulk of items which is something nice that other collectible stores normally wouldnt even consider. Will definitely be doing more card buying from this store as they have plenty of cards that I am still looking for to complete sets. You can also get some of the Japanese products here which are normally hard to get outside of Japan since they are only made there, you will pay a premium for them but that is to cover the cost of getting it imported all the way from Japan.
It was my first and last time I go to this card shop they have terrible customer service . I was asked to leave because The cashier was listening in to me talking to a nother customer about doing a trade after . The cashier without any context to the conversation, in a very rude tone told me to leave. And to top it off they are not handicapped accessible . my daughter who is in a wheelchair had a hard time navigating our way in and out of there. And there prices are way to high. scalpers are cheaper than shopping there .
My son and I have been customers here for quite some time now. My son loves this shop and the customer service has been fantastic… they are always courteous and friendly, and super helpful to someone that’s new to card collecting like me.Prices are always reasonable. We attended their first customer trade night a few weeks ago and my son was in heaven. Lots of friendly Pokémon collectors that were happy to trade with him.Highly recommend this shop.
Ever since I started getting back into cards and browsing all the shops in sa House of Cards is definitely the best! Not only do they have good inventory but their customer service is what makes me wanna come back also, great people that do honest business! They will be getting a lot of my money in the future
Great prices on sports card singles and boxes. Pokémon selection is the best in town. Supplies are available and were never marked up during the shortage last year. Staff is very informative. Excellent customer service. Thanks Paul Roman and Savannah!
I just found out about this shop today and Im happy I stopped by. I saw the great reviews and its true. These guys are amazing. Theyre very helpful and knowledgeable in the cards and products they sell. I will for sure be a returning customer. ^^ The cards are in excellent condition, even the ones in packs and the prices are fair in my opinion for what youre getting. They also have Comic books, Baseball cards and other cards too. Check them out and you wont be disappointed. ^^
Excellent service and amazing variety of collectibles and Pokémon merchandise. I sold a handful of my Pokémon cards and they gave a fair price. I was hesitant to sell my cards but this entire selling experience from the House of Cards staff was exceptional. I will continue to use their services from now on!!! **They are one of the few places in town that sell Japanese Pokémon cards (sets & individual cards).
Worth a look around. Family owned by nice people. Buy and sell singles which is really cool and had some rare cards I’ve never seen irl. They have a lot of Japanese single and packs for more than I would want to spend but where else are you going to get it I guess. If you’re looking to sell of course you are going to make less money here than if you sell on your own. But of course it’s harder to sell on your own. They buy for about 1/3 TCG prices but sell for a over TGC prices. You get to see the card before you buy but it’s not worth it in my opinion but my husband did buy a few cards. They are doing stuff that not many people do so they can kinda just make their own rules. Overall not bad but could have been better which is why I gave 4 stars.
After driving 700 miles from OKC to San Antonio in a rain storm, the staff at House of Cards made me feel welcome. No, better than welcome, the made me feel like family. Their professionalism and service are second to none. No matter if this place is near to you or far, you must make time to go and visit!
By far the best card shop I’ve been to in San Antonio. If you’re looking for a family friendly shop with an amazing selection, this is definitely the shop for you!!
Super sweet and helpful people. They have a great Pokemon collection.
Edit (8/20/21): I really appreciate you taking the time to address my review. Thats great customer service right there. It shows that House of Cards really cares about their customers and listens to them. Definitely a 5-star place in my book, and a must visit for any card collector.I like House of Cards for a lot of reasons, but I cant give it five stars entirely (stick with me and youll find out why). First off, the staff are incredible. Friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. Any review that references a slight against the staff is simply untrue. They do truly have one of the best selection of single Pokemon cards available in the San Antonio area, possibly the state. The stock is always plentiful and decently priced. (The following is addressed in new edit) My only complaint is the reservation issue. Almost every product they release is a first come, first serve, which is admirable under most circumstances, but it becomes frustrating when you cant line up an hour or more before they open because of work, etc. You end up missing out on product because of that. If they would allow people to pre-order or request a hold on items that would have made it a five star review. The most recent example of this is the Evolving Skies Pre-Release. They do some very cool promotions though which should not be overlooked. Routine giveaways and their mystery bags are a couple that come to mind. A mystery bag has the potential to reward you with a ETB or other prize and regardless will leave you with some cool cards you probably didnt have before. Personally, my last one provided me with a Blaines Chameleon which I never had before, and Ive been collecting since the 90s. They are Definitely a must check out for the avid Pokemon collector.
This is by far my favorite card shop in town. Paul (the owner) and Roman are always friendly and glad to help. This shop has good stock on a variety of collectibles. This is my go to place for all things Pokemon! My son and I always find cool stuff here! We will be customers for as long as they have their doors open!
Great place! People feel like family! This is the only place I get my Yu-Gi-Oh! Product from. They have very fair and reasonable prices.
Came into this small shop not too far from where I live looking for some Pokémon.. I was quick to find out that this location is the prime spot to go for singles and sealed products. Highly recommend great service from some really good people. SA House of Cards and Collectibles has been an incredible card shop to me and provided me with the majority of my collection. 10/10 would recommend.
An absolutely wonderful place to shop! All the workers are great and are very good about answering any questions. This is THE shop for Pokémon and sports cards, i always go in feeling lucky and come out satisfied with my pulls. A good variety of single cards for sale as well, always at a great price. I totally recommend this place to all my friends and to anyone who enjoys collecting.
Super friendly. Love to see the small business flourishing.
Great customer service with reasonable prices! They always greet you upon entering the store and are super friendly and helpful! House of Cards is my go to place for Pokémon cards and Pokémon merchandise!
This is a amazing place I highly recommend it to people who loves Pokemon sports cards etc because you can find it all here
I recently got back into Pokemon card collecting and the staff here really knew their stuff and helped me figure out what kind of packs I should get and what I should look out for. They werent bothered at all to answer the many questions that I had and didnt try to take advantage of me being a newbie. Not only was the staff amazing, but this card shop had TONS of really cool items that you wont really see anywhere else. Definitely coming back here and recommending this place to friends looking into collectibles.
I walked in not knowing very much about Pokémon but needed a gift for my nephew. The staff was super knowledgeable and super friendly. I walked away knowing way more about Pokémon than I ever thought I would. The owner took his time to explain the differences in the various cards and their value. The gift was a hit.
The people who work here are honest and are very friendly to deal with. Had several transactions with them and all of them were perfect. I look forward towards continuing business with them!
Recently came by this family-owned shop while looking up places that buy cards in San Antonio. I can see why the reviews are so high! Had a wonderful experience with the owner — he got to know me personally before we even talked about my Pokémon cards. He was up-front with their selling process and they do all of the research for you. In all, they were fast, personal, and professional. Pokémon cards are in demand, and this is the best place to sell locally!
Awesome store, the staff is outstanding in their kindness and professionalism. They not only have tons of cards, but other collectibles and memorabilia as well. Support your local shop!
Always was a favorite for Pokémon cards but theyve increased their plushie stock and now Im in love. Quality goods, Japan exclusives, all reasonably priced. Theyre also very receptive to what their customers are looking for. I was on the hunt for certain plushies, and they really communicated well with me to get them in stock. Staff is well-informed and super friendly, fostering a great environment to connect with other Pokefans and collectors !!
Bought some gifts for my husband a few days ago (Pokemon Shining Fates items) and I will 100% be going back! Its a small store, but the person was extremely helpful and made great suggestions to help me find the right items. They were polite and enthusiastic and safe! Temps are taken as you enter store and has limited compacity. Prices were also WAYYY better than another store I visited the same day. I honestly wish I had come here first. I also called today for another reason and got the same treatment, very polite and enthusiastic! Definitely earned a returning customer.
Can you sell Pokémon cards and memorabilia at this store?? Serious question
Love going to this store! Great experience walking in and was hooked from then on. Nostalgic feeling and love going back. Recently bought a great card and going back for another soon. Selection of Pokémon is Great!!
I just purchased the rest of the booster pack singles from a Vivid Voltage Booster Box, 11 packs at $8 a piece, and I did not get 1 single ultra rare. Either the packs were weighed or I just have the worst luck. That did not sit right with me and wanted to share my experience.
My go to shop for pokemon cards. Always give me a reasonable price for cards Im selling and are really helpful with getting new cards and picking up pre orders made in shop.
Very reasonable when selling Pokemon and sports cards. They also sell rare action figures and Funko Pops here too!
Such an amazing card shop! I PULLED 3 CHARIZARDS in the same day, out of packs purchased here! Probably one of the best collector stores Ive ever been to. Staff is amazing. Prices are good. And lots of stock variety! Highly recommend!
Super cool staff and extremely friendly. Every time I go in they always have cool cards and other things to buy. Super happy with pricing and overall atmosphere of the store. Going to keep coming here for sure!
I’ve been collecting Pokémon cards since I was 8 years old. My last set I started buying was Neo Destiny and little did the kid me know the true worth of the cards back then. Thanks to HoC I was able to achieve a long dead childhood dream of finishing my collection. I also just got back into the hobby with vivid voltage and this location had a very good selection of products and cards I needed. Prices are fair and within TCG values, friendly and amazing customer service. Other places try to profit as much as possible like Heroes and Fantasies for the old vintage cards. If your missing anything or need a specific set, they worked with me in finding the right cards and all as near mint condition as possible. I strongly believe I just found my new favorite LCS.
Horrible customer service! Worse I have had in years.Guy with his hair slicked back says he pays 30 percent of a card value.So he goes through my collection and sees the stack he wants and ask to take them out of the case.I tell him I would rather he give me a round about price and if it goes up or down a tad then sure you can take them out of the case risking any damage.He says he cant and I say ok I pass.Instead saying ok thanks he slams the cards down and throws a tantrum and runs off without having any sales or customer service what so ever.On to the next save your time for these rip offs and rude little boys 😂
I was visiting San Antonio and decided to look around at their card shops and this place was absolutely amazing. Its a nice family owned place with amazing picks of Pokémon singles and packs both old and new. I look forward to coming back in the future to see what they have.
Located inA run down shopping stripFew showcase with cardsSome sealed product,Very limitedTook about 5 minsBeforeAnyone acknowledged meTheir buy rate isAbout 35%Was not impressedRico4president2028
Recently sold my lifetime Pokémon collection at this store. Worked with store owner Paul and his son. Very honest pricing and trustworthy people. Left cards at store overnight to be evaluated and no issues at all. Gave me a very fair generous offer for my collection which I gladly accepted. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! A+!!
Literally one of the best places to go in all of San Antonio. We drove all the way from Houston for this shop and it did NOT disappoint!!Family who owns/works there are some of the nicest, polite people!!
Very knowledgeable card shot big selection of pokemon cards
Dont bother going anywhere else around for pokemon cards. this place has the best selection. not even from Texas, tried 4 other stores and this one out of all had the best stock
I had a relatively expensive set of graded Pokemon cards that I needed to sell, and I consigned them to House of Cards and Collectibles. Paul treated me very fairly and was able to sell my collection within days. He paid me promptly and it was an overall smooth transaction. I would highly recommend visiting him if you have valuable Pokemon cards, and you dont want to risk trying to sell them online.
Excellent shop! I recently traded in my Pokémon collection from my childhood, left the cards there for a few hours for them to be evaluated and received a very fair offer for my collection. Everyone was upfront and honest creating a great selling experience.definitely recommend you check them out!
Was in town from KY for work and able to stop in on my last day in San Antonio. Great selection of old and new Pokémon, Sports Cards (packs & singles) and Comics, as well as supplies. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable on all they carry. I pulled a Charizard from the first pack I opened and cant wait to rip into the rest!My only dislike is the store hours. I was lucky to be free before 5pm on a weekday. Will definitely visit again the next time in San Antonio or nearby.
People seemed nice enough put the prices on pokemon cards was almost scalper level $6 a pack for chilling reign no thanksGamers pair-a-dice had boosters 3 for $10
Thank you Paul and team for helping complete my vintage base set collection.Although there are online stores that sell cards, I appreciate that there is a local store that has what I need and that it caters to old & new card collectors.
Been looking for pokemon ETBs for weeks and they were able to hook me up for a great price! Will be going back for sure
Absolutely the best card store in San Antonio. The owners strive to make you feel as welcomed as possible. Great selection of products, very friendly staff. Not much more I could ask for.
Great prices and great customer service
I have been a frequent customer for a while now and every time I come I am greeted with a smile and assisted with the best customer service. Highly recommend anyone stop by!
Very nice and very willing to help.
Roman was SUPER helpful with information regarding price and product! Love this little shop
Came into this local shop and was surprised about the outstanding customer service! Loads of single cards and some of the best products and prices.
Friendly staff and reasonably priced singles. Unfortunately, charges scalping and above scalping prices for sealed product. Often 2x or more MSRP.
Love this shop because it always has a great collection of cards, ranging from vintage to modern cards! The staff there are super friendly and chill!
Last time I went here everyone was really nice but some things you see in there photos isn’t there
This is the best place in san antonio. If you need cards these are your go to guys!!!!! ESPECIALLY FOR POKEMON!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let me start by saying that i was looking for someone to physically help not just an online store. And eventually found house of cards 😍 & this place was amazing from every aspect. The employees were helpful & friendly especially Paul and Roman who took the time off and video call and let me choose whatever i wanted from the store, bare in mind Im from KUWAIT which is a 24 hour flight yet i managed to buy loads of stuff with their help. Communication, purchases and oayment was easy, fast and instant. Plus as if what they did wasnt enough they gave me a discount for buying over a certain amount. They just bought themselves a forever customer. ❤🌹😍
This is an awesome card shop i always go here they have a great selection and the staff is awesome. I definitely recommend if you havent been you should stop by for sure.
Awesome place with great selection and friendly staff!
Paul is the kind of guy worthy to bring me here to want to write my first Google review. He is tremendously genuine, fair, and knowledgeable. All things Pokemon -- this is the place to be. Couldnt recommend more.
Just started going to this shop and I must say the owner is a great guy and makes you feel welcome! Amazing prices on all their cards, hands down the best shop in SA for buying cards!I also appreciate the extra precautions they are taking in regards to covid, I recommend any collector stopping by and checking this place out!
From beginning to end, Paul was professional, courteous, responsive and honourable in our dealings and displayed in-depth knowledge of his field - a pleasure to do business.
Went in today to see if I can get my Pokémon cards sold and the customer service was out of this world! The manager was great & the owner himself is a very kind person. I even managed to get a quick peek at their inventory and it was outstanding, they have cards in psa grades and they also have cards that aren’t graded but they’re in near mint condition. From comics to plushies. This is an amazing store! I would recommend anyone & everyone to come check this place out!
Every time I walk into House of Cards & Collectables I’m always given a warm welcome. I love picking up all the essentials from this place. You should definitely stop by and check this place out.
The owner is really cool. He has some awesome items for sale, and gear aswell. The people there are nice
Great store and friendly staff. If you are looking for Pokémon cards or other collectible items, this is the place to go.
The owner is really nice and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I went in for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Ill definitely visit again soon.
Awesome little mom and pop shop.Fair prices and an incredible selection of products, definitely worth a stop for beginner and seasoned collectors.
This is a Grate place I came here to buy a lot of yugioh cards. The owner is welcoming willing to help you out on what you are looking for. So great store
Love this place the ppl here are so nice and always have a lot of info for their customers!
Great customer service. Every time I go there’s always something new and the ppl there are so helpful.! Would highly recommend to stop by and check them out.
Very nice people and awesome customer service. Came in to sell some yu-gi-oh and pokemon cards, which I left there because I was on a time constraint. Conveniently, Paul contacted me with a price and sent me a PayPal once I approved. Saved me a trip back and cards were sold at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
Great and kind service, as well as a neat collection of cards! I went in for selling both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards, as well as trading. The people were very friendly and helpful, I will be making another visit!
Paul is always helping me out with my Pokemon card collection. Hes attentive and resourceful. Great inventory and quality cards!
Lots of old and new pokemon sets, plus some rare stuff! Friendly staff and very helpful.
Just called the gentleman was very nice and ready to assist me. Very friendly and super helpful
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Amazing store with a huge selection. By far the best selection and prices in all of San Antonio! Great customer service as well.
I had a box of old Pokemon cards that I had gotten as a kid and was looking to get rid of them. I found House of Cards online and decided to try the place out after reading several excellent reviews. I was not disappointed at all. I had a great conversation with the owner and he took the time to look through each and every card I had. I had a lot of cards and I let him take them overnight so that he could do some research. When I came in the next day, he had done his research and given me the prices at which he could sell every card for as well as the price he would give me for each card. I was very impressed with his customer service and how he went above and beyond for me before we had ever even discussed money. At the end of the day, I came away with a very fair price and we made a deal. I highly recommend checking out this store as they have a lot of cool stuff as well as some good people running the place. If you have any old trading cards, toys, or comics, this is the place to go.
Cool little shop! I was looking for more of a Marvel store though.
My first time at this place and the experience was GREAT! Service was great, prices were great! I would highly recommend this place to any card collector.
Great selection of cards and very fair prices. I came in looking for Pokemon cards and they have a lot of good stuff. The owner, Paul, was very friendly and super helpful. I told him I was from out of state (Michigan) and we had a nice, friendly chat. Definitely recommend this store, if Im ever in the area again I will definitely visit again
Best place to find older vintage pokemon cards, newer cards, and even Japanese cards! Will come back again, every time we are in San Antonio
Paul always makes us feel welcome when ever we go by. Best place to buy Pokémon cards don’t shop anywhere else!
I sold my pokemon cards and got a nice fair price. Very trustworthy and a great selection. Dont go anywhere else!
REALLY NICE AND HELPFUL OWNER AND THE BEST THING IS THE PRICES...BASKETBALL CARDS DONT SIT BECAUSE OF INCREDIBLE PRICES...ALSO GOOD CONDITION POKEMON SHADOWLESS AND BASIC FOR A GREAT AFFORDABLE RATE AND THERES CASH APP, NOT GONNA LIE I SPENT ALOT BECAUSE THESE PRICES BEAT EBAY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
House of cards is an amazing store the owner Paul is such a nice guy my brother & I come by here for Pokémon cards he has the best prices & is always fair I recommend this place to everybody who’s into card collecting .
Great place to go for all types collectible cards. If youre looking for vintage Pokemon cards Paul (owner) has them. Very welcoming and knowledgeable
Awesome little game store! Paul the owner is super chill and great to talk with. More people need to go to this shop as he has all sorts of cards and even some toys to buy. He has sports cards to Yugioh, Pokemon and Magic the gathering cards! Great place to stop by if youre into any of these or if youre a parent that needs some gift ideas
The best place of cards and colectibles in San Antonio
Very relaxed atmosphere. The owner is super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about CCG. Fair prices and a cool selection.
It was ok kinda pricey not a good selection of Pokémon cards, employees were pushy, I wont be going back.
Old man running the shop is super nice and incredibly chill store is great to go and hangout and do box breaks
Very poor place, I went in to trade my pokemon cards and first they were like, WOW !!! then went to see about a few cards he took, then came right back to say that he wasnt interested, but I have a pretty strong feeling that he stole a pokemon card cuz I counted what he took, well, i hope that card you took was well worth me putting this about your card business, i will never go to house of cards cuz all they are is scams...
Went in recently and was super happy with my experience. The owner was super welcoming, helpful and informative. I bought a couple packs of baseball and football cards and they had autos and jersey cards. The shop is clean, spacious and just a cool place to relax and enjoy the hobby. Will be going back again really soon.
I have driven up from Corpus Christi a couple times to visit this store and it is by far the best store I can find. Great selection of older cards, great staff, and extremely helpful. I have nothing but the best to say about the store.
