A local home for collectors.
TLDR; Pros: - pay insanely well on sealed items - don’t try to hustle you - business minded owner - best inventory in WA imo - cool layout - easy and cheap parking - good eats nearby lol - owner/worker aren’t rude. A lot of card shops have socially inept individuals who make you feel like you aren’t welcome. These guys were super cool to talk to, though! Cons: - not really a con but Tacoma is far for a lot of people. If it’s not far for you, ignore this. - no diet Baja blast in the cooler lol I’m on a diet ———— Sold majority of my collection to them and they didn’t hassle or negotiate hard. They paid extremely well. Definitely better than any shop/vendor/reseller would. And I appreciated the transparency by Jared (owner) with our deal. That’s rare to find in a business like this due to the amount of “hustlers” rather than legit business minded people. Past that, there was probably the best inventory (that I’ve seen) in WA with a very cool layout (love the tournament area being up in an arena type feel). Prices are comparable to anywhere, so you should get a better experience considering the variety. Beats out TableTop imo and the parking situation is much better (TableTop is obviously a good store as well). Wish I knew about this place before I move out of state but if I ever come back, this’ll be my new locals.2b:T4bf,{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Store","name":"Metro Retro","url":"https://cardshopdir.com/shop/metro-retro-tacoma-wa","image":"https://assert.cardshopdir.com/shops/metro-retro-tacoma-wa.jpg","telephone":"(253) 951-2517","website":"http://shopmetroretro.com/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"751 Commerce Street","addressLocality":"Tacoma","addressRegion":"WA","postalCode":"98402","addressCountry":"United States"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":"47.2555560","longitude":"-122.4396490"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":"4.5","reviewCount":168},"openingHoursSpecification":[{"@type":"Openin
