Nerd Nest

★★★★★

“We didn’t know we had a card shop in Picayune. We stopped by and got some good stuff. What a cool place. They have board games, cards, and other stuff. We were looking for Disney Lorcana stuff and grabbed two booster boxes and some packs. Haven't pulled anything too good yet, but it's fun to open packs sometimes. We meet the owner, his wife and another employee. Awesome people and a great shop!”

“If you’re anywhere near Picayune, you need to check out Nerds Nest! This trading card store is hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had. The shop has a great atmosphere, solid selection, and you can tell it’s built by someone who genuinely loves the hobby. The owner is extremely nice and personable — the kind of person who takes time to talk with you, answer questions, and make you feel welcome whether you’re a longtime collector or just getting started. That kind of customer service makes all the difference. Had a great experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this awesome local shop!”

“Just started playing tcg pokemon, and they helped me pick a few packs while giving me a small discount for buying multiple. I'm going back to LET them upsell me on another set soon. For a town where nerd activities are few and far between, i couldn't recommend nerd nest more. I was even invited to pokemon battles they host every Saturday. Great staff, community, and store 10/10”

“The Nerd Nest in Picayune is one of those rare places that just feels right the second you walk in. It is staffed by people who are genuinely passionate and deeply thoughtful about the games, the players, and the community they are building. You can tell they care, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs. There is always a game happening. Always. Magic, Yugioh, Pokemon, Gundam, board games, new players learning, veterans grinding, kids laughing, adults unwinding after a long day. The play is consistent, the tables are full, but there is always space for more games and the energy never feels forced. It is just people having a good time doing what they love. Buying, selling, and trading here is also incredibly easy and convenient, Shaun is honest and takes time to ensure that you leave there feeling like it is a win-win situation. Prices are competitive, trades are fair, and the whole process feels honest and relaxed instead of stressful or awkward. Whether you are hunting a single, moving a collection, or just browsing, it is a great place to do it. All the business stuff aside... the real magic is in the group of folks that make The Nerd Nest feel like a family. Boys, girls, kids, teens, and grown ups all mixed together in a way that feels natural and welcoming. No weird gatekeeping. No overly awkward vibes. Just a bunch of folks who love nerdy things and are happy to share that joy. At the end of the day, The Nerd Nest is not just a store. It is a place to belong. And for Picayune, that is something special.”
