The Zone 2

★★★★★

“They have a large number of display cases filled with a wide selection of trading cards. They mostly carry Magic but there is a great selection of modern and vintage Pokemon as well as some Yu-Gi-Oh/One Piece. This is the best store in Peoria to buy and sell vintage Pokemon cards! Vintage cards in stock are typically of high quality ("lightly played" or better)or otherwise clearly marked and reduced in price if not. Their staff are incredibly friendly, generous, and knowledgeable. Their current appraiser will give you a fair price for cards and can explain their grading when asked. Purchase prices already include tax which can make them seem slightly inflated versus online prices, but they are telling you what you'll be paying upfront.”

“Great places come in and play some games and hang out with friends! The Zone II has all kinds of activities that you can be a part of and they host tournaments for DND too! There's a bunch of collectibles around the store like figurines, statues, anime, pops, Lego figurines, and collectible cards, just to name a few! Stop on in and take a look at their posters and meet the guys who run the place, I've heard great things!”

★★★★★

“Honestly a very wonderful place to shop! It's very clean and spacious, they have products for such a wide variety of fandoms and games, and the staff is super awesome! 10/10 would recommend!”

★★

“Cute shop with a large assortment of collectibles - giving a 2 star because when it comes to trading cards this place is very mid. They only offer 30% trade in value (for both store credit and cash) and they are selling cards/sealed product over market value. No issues with a business supporting itself, but there’s other shops in the general vicinity (JustforFun, MegaDisc) that offer 40-60% trade in (depending on trade in or cash) and sell at or below market value. Great place to hang out and play cards at! Just do not recommend purchasing from this vendor if you can drive two extra miles out of your way for better pricing.”
