CardArt - Sunnyvale, California

I came by after checking every Target and Gamestop for the newest pokemon set, and I was surprised to see they still had product. I was happy to at least be able to pick up the new set. It's above market but they're not charging $200+ like some other stores.

The employees were so nice and patient while explaining that the set was short printed. Super happy with my pulls and will be coming back 🥹

CardArt has truly become a second home for
me! I find myself spending most of my free time here as the staff and community welcomed me with open arms. Nothing but laughs and good vibes. Recommending to everybody I know!

Actually kinda sad and disappointed.

This used to be my go to store for TCG singles (Pokemon) maybe they’re scared of scalpers now or something idk but I spent thousands here buying a lot of different singles would be down here 3 times a week from the city to buy cards becuase prices used to be amazing. Either below TCG by a couple dollars or at market or slightly above.

If you buy cards at 40-50% (which ever it was) cash market value there’s no reason to be greedy and label LP cards as NM cards to squeeze out extra cash that’s crazy. You’re already up 50% (borderline offensive lol) it’s starting to sound like tofu trading so sad always talked down on tofu and praised cardart. Probably won’t be coming here anymore $320 for a nm charizard for example from 151 when market is 240-270 is crazy to me that’s more than 20% over TCG player sellers when other local stores have stacks of the same card at 240~270. But your store your rules i guess just goes to show the greediness of the store now. Sadly I guess gotta go up north for cards now heart broken fr I used to really like this store. Everything was above 10-15% TCG on today’s visit $8 cards for $12-$15. So sad.

The cards used to match the description NM/LP. And prices used to be accurate according to condition of the card. Labeling cards with clear deep scratches really dirty and with dents and dings as NM is crazy. The rude employee not knowing what TCG is when you ask how they price the cards and show them listings is mind bending to me lol. Showed him TCG listing on a card (zekrom) for the condition of the card on the TCG APP which is available on the APP store in case you didn’t know shop owner lmao, and he looked lost so I showed him the website TCG player with other LP listings. I also felt offended like he expected me to be picking numbers outta thin air or something when I’m Showing him TCG player listings from the app lmao so much time spent on your phone you should know what the TCG player app looks like maybe if Yall got off your phones and payed attention to the customer you guys would notice. “Idk where those numbers are from” TCG player is pretty easy to recognize as a website lol and it’s what you say you use to price your cards it’s pretty standard stuff i would assume no? Again if you make your own prices that cool my fault for assuming you actually priced according to TCG

If you don’t price match or move prices that’s fine more power to you just say we make up our prices ourselves and that’s what we want for the card that’s end of argument, but to say “idk where you’re getting your card price numbers from” when TCG is being showed to you both in APP and WEBSITE which is your “standard” for pricing your cards according to your website then that’s when I start to get confused. New people to the hobby beware make sure you double check prices of cards before you purchase here.

Maybe for playing it’s fine since it’s always full but probably gonna stick to online/marketplace from now on feels like card shops are getting greedy now. Also maybe cause they focus so much on playing the game there standard for conditions of cards is not as good as they probably are more lenient than a collector would be. If you’re looking for gradable cards this is not the place IMO.uu

I bought a paldea evolved booster box and couldn’t believe the pulls. I pulled the most expensive card I have ever pulled out the box I bought from card art. I am far from happy with my purchase 🕺🏽

My son just pickedup Pokemon collecting again and the search for cards was on! We went to 8 different local card shops and luckily found CardArt. Its a 💎Gem of a store! Easily becoming our favorite card shop. Everyone that works there are very friendly and helpful. We've had the chance to meet alot of very nice people that just hang out there or on the same card hunt we are on lol. CardArt is always packed with people, they host lots of trading card tourneys and We love the vibe here it always feels so comfortable like HOME. CardArt became our family's must go place on Saturday"s 🤩

fantastic first experience! was looking for a nice yugioh locals, and it was fairly busy for a weekday, great turn out and great staff holding the event. nice, homey environment with the game clock on a tv. i do recommend coming early for your preferred tcg event as they might ask you to fill out a decklist, but that's nothing out of the ordinary if you've been playing cards for a while

Niche, well-rounded store for the trading card enthusiast. Limited to Pokemon TCG, Magic: The Gathering and a couple other smaller TCG collections (Yu-Gi-Oh). But what they do have is worthwhile. Supplies, protective cases and binders and sleeves...oh my! Not to mention gaming tables for a pick-up game or a serious adventure. And since it is smack-dab in the middle of a strip mall/next to a major grocery store - you'll never go hungry. Not the cheapest place, but replete with many of your heart's desires.

My LGS of choice for the area. Here almost every Tuesday for Pioneer!

They run events constantly for Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and more every week. They offer 10% magic singles on Wednesdays , with other deals all throughout the week for different games and merch. They feature some merchandise from local artists as well that fit the nerdy, weeb vibe of the place.

Staff is all great, especially Garrett their "Magic guy."
