The shops, in detail
Degen Collectibles — the South Bay TCG anchor
★ 4.7 (212 Google reviews) · 2266 Senter Rd Ste 142
Senter Road's seven-day shop covers Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and sports with league play, trade nights, and live breaks — backed by a 99.1%-positive TCGplayer record across 10,000+ sales. The most complete card operation in San Jose.
Stevens Creek Sports Cards — serving collectors since 1981
★ 4.3 (107 Google reviews) · 3220 Stevens Creek Blvd D
A sports-card institution — in the hobby since 1981, at its Stevens Creek Boulevard home since 1997, and selling on eBay since 1999 with over 21,000 items moved. The vintage-and-modern sports stop. Note: the shop doesn't handle grading submissions for customers — go direct to PSA, BGS, or SGC.
Game Corner — the tournament calendar
★ 4.6 (52 Google reviews) · 1590 Oakland Rd B111
A Wizards Play Network store running weekly Commander and Modern nights, Pokémon League, and Flesh and Blood Armory events — the most active organized-play schedule in the city.
RNG Therapy — the brand-new card lounge
★ 5.0 (68 Google reviews) · 3670 Charter Park Dr D
San Jose's newest shop opened in fall 2026 as a family-friendly card lounge — Pokémon, One Piece, Magic, and Riftbound with claw machines and prize wheels — and promptly earned a perfect early rating. One to watch.
Tofu's Trading — the Story Road stalwart
★ 4.7 (366 Google reviews) · 969 Story Rd Unit 6078
One of the most-reviewed card stops in the city from its Story Road storefront — a steady TCG counter with a loyal East Side following.
Tatsu Hobby — the afternoon window
★ 4.5 (178 Google reviews) · 761 Mabury Rd #80
A Mabury Road hobby shop with a quirk worth knowing: it opens only in the late afternoon (roughly 2:30 to 7). Plan accordingly — regulars say the selection rewards the timing.
