Just did a sale with y'all at a local card show in Des Moines. Awesome service, the man running the stand took time to look through my collection and made a really fair deal! Would highly recommend!

All around great place. Good selection of singles and sealed product. Management is super nice. Plenty of space to play cards.

I don't leave many reviews but this team of people genuinely deserve this one. We have yet to visit their physical store, but we see Epicenter Gaming at almost every card show and convention we attend and they are, hands down, the highlight of each one, acting as the ideal representative and example of what we wish all of the TCG community was like. Their booth is always VERY well stocked, they are always VERY social but professional, and they make us feel like old friends every time we visit. Despite only seeing us once or twice a quarter, at most, they remember us each time and offer us nice deals, work with us on pricing when able, and show us their best products. We plan to visit their store someday, but until then we actively look forward to seeing them at every card show and convention. Thanks for being such a great representative of the card collecting community!

Had an amazing experience working with Justin and buying Pokemon cards. He was extremely helpful and made my kids day as well! Thank you so much for everything!

Amazing little slice of gamer paradise. Super clean, easy to browse, and the owner I got the privilege to deal with was amazing! I have crazy anxiety and he talked to me like he has known me for years! It's the little things and this place has them all. Definitely gonna be going back for more Lorcana!

Slightly overpriced but not as bad as some shops. One of the owners, tall guy with glasses, is awesome. Pleasant, knowledgeable, funny, and fair. The shorter guy is rude, unprofessional, and seemingly has no clue what he’s doing. Might want to consider watching some videos on how to interact with customers. I’d give this place 5 stars if it wasn’t for him. Worth checking out if you can get a word in edgewise. Huge inventory of singles.

EDIT: As you can see from the reply he is extremely condescending. Talking to me like I have no idea how the industry works. I know how TCG works and I know how to price cards and assess condition. It’s not rocket science. I have years of experience. This is a perfect example of how this owner doesn’t fully understand how to interact with customers. Shame.

If we want to get specific this guy was trying to tell me that a Leafeon VMAX 205/203 was worth $180 because that’s what it was last sold for on TCG ? As I type this the lowest current asking price on TCG by a VERIFIED seller is $140 with free shipping. Multiple listings at that price as well. I showed him that and he said “okay then buy that one” so I walked away laughing. If we’re talking last sold, which I also take into account when pricing cards, then I go to eBay comps like everyone else. The last four sales for this card raw as of 10/24/23 are $100, $119.99, $86.56, and $151.99. Not even CLOSE to $180.

I DID actually sell all four of the cards I had with me later that day to a card shop in chesterfield after I left this booth. They paid exactly what I wanted because my pricing was spot on. You guys missed out on a great deal because of your pride. I hope you learn from this experience.
