Great card store. I am from out of town and whenever I have work in Allentown, I always come by 1-2 times here to check out their magic cards. Great selection of singles, packs and precons! Very friendly staff, always have a good chat with them. I see they offer pokemon singles and packs too, lorcana and other tcg.

This store is great! Oliver sells at our north New Jersey shows and some friends decided we should take a trip to Allentown knowing he had a shop. Tons of fun stuff to look through in the bins, nice wall books, and a huge selection of discounted trades and hardcovers. We all walked out with something!
