Edit: I misunderstood that the store was open for casual play and trade while the owner was giving me a tour of the store. That's on me. I'm leaving the review below unedited, so the owner's reply makes contextual sense. Apparently, the store does allow casual gatherings. End edit I can't speak on the sports side of this store as I've only had dealings with Magic: The Gathering. While this store does have magic events, it's not a hangout kind of store where you can bring your collection and play and trade when there isn't an event going on. That said, it is a fantastic place to purchase sealed MTG products, especially new releases. The staff are very friendly, though the owner is a bit intense and business over else (bear in mind my interaction with him is relatively limited and my own opinion). That said, you can absolutely trust he's running the store to not price things above MSRP and tries to give everyone an equal chance to pick up new releases. The website and store also sync up with inventory, which is nice to see the availability of both locations without calling or going in.3e:["$","div","2116",{"className":"relative","children":[["$","$L26",null,{"href":"/shop/enc-sports-cards-new-bern-nc","className":"vault-card group flex h-full flex-col overflow-hidden rounded-sm border-2 border-ink bg-card","data-umami-event":"shop_click","data-umami-event-slug":"enc-sports-cards-new-bern-nc","data-umami-event-name":"ENC Sports Cards","data-umami-event-state":"NC","children":[["$","div",null,{"className":"relative aspect-16/10 w-full overflow-hidden border-b-2 border-ink bg-muted","children":[["$","$L36",null,{"src":"https://assert.cardshopdir.com/shops/enc-sports-cards-new-bern-nc.jpg","alt":"ENC Sports Cards","fill":true,"sizes":"(min-width: 1024px) 340px, (min-width: 640px) 45vw, 92vw","quality":50,"className":"object-cover"}],false,["$","span",null,{"className":"label-mono absolute bottom-0 left-0 flex items-center gap-1.5 border-t-2 border-r-2 border-ink px-2.5 py
