I am writing this review because I recently read online that Indy Card Exchange got caught selling fake vintage cards. After hearing how they handled the situation and the owner trying to deny responsibility… even going so far as criticizing the person that called out the fraudulent cards, I have decided to share my story with Indy Card Exchange. A few years back I purchased a raw Jordan insert for a good price from Indy Card Exchange. It had some pretty bad damage, so I figured that the price was because the condition. I never actually had the Big Men on Court insert in my hand before, so I could not tell whether it was fake or not. They also had a Jordan Star 85 card that I was considering about buying… but I sensed that card might be fake because it looked to be at very least altered. Good thing I didn’t buy both cards, because the Jordan insert was a fake. I took it into my Local card shop and they instantly spotted it as a fake and explained to me all the signs. I called Indy Card exchange and explained to them the situation and they said they would call me back. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that this might have just slipped through the cracks and it was a mistake. They never called me back. I called them again and they responded that there was nothing they could do because I could have just swapped it out for a fake. I said “how could the fake have the exact same condition” and they said they didn’t know the condition of the card… they have thousands of cards. After seeing the way they reacted by being called out for their T206 fakes… I have no doubt this is a common practice for them. It literally took my local card shop 5 seconds to spot that it was a fake. The T206 cards were obvious fakes that were apparent even on video without details. There are only two possible scenarios for my situation and their most recent situation… they are either knowingly defrauding people with fake, raw cards… or they are so incompetent in their field that they can

Took my boys for the first time and they had a blast. They have boxes of dime cards and small boxes where you can grab roughly a couple hundred cards for $10! Perfect for my boys starting their own card collection. The Kids Club was sweet too. Gave them $3 off their purchase this month and another $5 off for good grades. Very friendly staff. Can wait to come back.
Horrible look bashing someone on Facebook for your ignorance. Maybe not have fake cards in the floor. That’s on you. Anything after that you take on the chin as the owner. Edit. I was waiting on Andy’s response to this review. You blew the dude off like he didn’t know what he was talking about and in layman terms made him feel beneath you and your staff. I believe you are lucky he handled it a more professional way than you. You don’t get to want to be the premier card shop in the area and treat customers like you just did.
Went in to see what they all had. Over all nice set up and alot of inventory. But the one of the workers running the register was rude to my son and really was nkt interested in helping him and acted annoyed when he asked to see cards in the display case. He had money to spend but the worker treated him like he was waisting his time. So we left.
Good selection of cards and supplies. Friendly service.
