I've stopped by this spot a few times, usually after striking out on One Piece cards at the nearby Bandai Namco store. It's a small location, but they've got a cool vault setup for storing inventory and a solid display case for singles you can browse. Pricing skews premium — singles here run a bit more expensive than average. On one visit I picked up a One Piece card (I believe it was PRB-02), and while it wasn't cheap, it's not something you find in a lot of stores, so it felt worth it. On my second visit, they were sold out of One Piece cards entirely. The staff is a highlight — genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed chatting with them about cards, new releases, and even Topps Chrome basketball. Even when a topic was outside their usual wheelhouse, they'd look it up and make sure I got a real answer. One heads-up: it gets hot in the store, likely tied to whatever's going on with the mall's climate control (possibly related to the DreamWorks park or water park). Hard to linger too long as a result. Overall though, it's a clean, professional operation — nothing about the place suggests any funny business with cases or packs. A bit pricey, but worth a stop if you're already at American Dream.

This place is LEGIT!! The concept and growth make this place my new "go to" spot! They have found cards I want at other locations and have had prices on items cheaper than I can find online and that's IF I can even find any in stock! GREAT prices, GREAT staff, CLEAN store and ORGANIZED items! I'm used to junk wax lining the walls with just garage sale style set ups, and this is next level clean and viewable. One of the most unique and shoppable stores I have ever been in.
Very impressed with CardVault at American Dream. They make an effort to have something for everyone. I think the guys get good training or paid enough that they don’t condescend or get anxious with customers. Not a lot of stores kill em kindness but this one does. Thanks for the deal, keep stocking raw vintage!!
Been a hobby shop lover all my life starting with my Dad who owned one for 20 years growing up in Brooklyn. For American Dream to finally get a trading card store with Tom Brady's name on it is amazingly cool 😎 Sid and Steve are really cool managers here who are fun to chat with and will help you walk through any questions you might have. Gerald is the new Asst. Store Mgr. who also is extremely helpful and good guy there. I got a few cards graded with PSA at CVAD recently for the first time ever and Steve and Gerald were super helpful to walk me through everything and ensure this would be a worthwhile process. Hoping to get a 10 on my Nick Kurtz rookie auto for the future ROY 🙏 Tremendous sleek trading store with a new location I hear coming to Soho area in NYC very soon. Come check it out soon folks 😊
Came here the other day and purchased two Tom Brady cards. Very helpful and trusting employees. Didn't make me feel uncomfortable when holding expensive cards. Showed me a variety of different cards and explained the differences in price and why.
