The shops, in detail
TerraCrux Games — downtown's Magic anchor
★ 4.7 (675 Google reviews) · 758 Commerce St
A Commerce Street fixture since 2014, TerraCrux is Tacoma's most-reviewed game store with a dedicated sell-your-Magic-collection program and singles depth across Pokémon and Magic. The downtown stop for both buying and selling.
Northwest Sportscards — since 1987
★ 4.4 (422 Google reviews) · 5510 6th Ave Ste A
Don Knutsen's 6th Avenue shop has anchored South Sound sports collecting since 1987 — cards, memorabilia, coins, and supplies, with a buying counter. The longest-running card business in the city by a wide margin.
Tacoma Games — the event calendar
★ 4.7 (275 Google reviews) · 3013 6th Ave
A 6th Avenue store running the heaviest weekly slate in town — Magic, D&D, and Warhammer — with Pokémon, Lorcana, Star Wars Unlimited, and One Piece on the shelves and a buying counter.
Mind Full Games — the new blood
★ 4.5 (58 Google reviews) · 2913 S 38th St E
Tacoma's newest game store specializes in Magic, Pokémon, Flesh and Blood, and One Piece with long daily hours. The pick for newer TCGs the older shops don't stock deep.
Tacoma Sportscards — the grading drop-off
★ 4.2 (83 Google reviews) · 15413 1st Ave Ct S #111
A south-end sports shop with Pokémon and Magic alongside — and the only confirmed grading drop-off in the city. The stop when a card needs to get slabbed without shipping it yourself.
