I went to Core a couple of times while on vacation and had a great experience. My girlfriend and I spent a good amount of time talking to an employee (possibly owner) about starting to collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I wish I had this shop back home!

Honestly the best place for yu gi oh cards hands down.Staff is super helpful one of the staff gave me great advice and even took the the time to show me a strategy for a deck im building. This is now my main and only shop i go to for cards.

This place is awesome! They have a good collection of cards and booster packs at reasonable prices. They also have deck boxes and card sleevesParking is a bit limited, but you can find street parking nearby

I was PERSONALLY tended to by the general manager. They made me feel heard when I expressed my sentiments on an order and made it better than right! TRUST THEM. They got their hearts in the right place.

Depending on the day theyll have what your looking for there. Great place for yugioh, Pokémon and magic. Will come again when I visit from Texas!

Came for Digimon BT4 prerelease.

The amount of boosters here are no joke. There’s probably almost every boosters here you can think of. The wait to get inside isn’t even that bad and the prices are pretty reasonable. You can also check majority of what they have in stock on their website.

I love this store, the only reason Im giving 3 stars is due to one of the employees. Hes a younger guy with a combover, kinda, longish hair. Anyways, anytime I go I get the misfortune of having him help me. He always rushes me and tries to shoo me out, he did it so much so he over charged me 25 bucks, when I realized it and went back he gave me hard attitude and I couldnt see why? He then crumpled up my receipt and then made the same mistake again and he didnt give me the items I paid for, but he put me in such a rush by just handing me everything and walking away by the time I got back to my car and noticed I just left. Love this place and the products but that single employee really makes it bittersweet more on the bitter side.

Premiere place to go if youre looking for Yugioh stuff. I have mostly ordered from them online recently, but the in-store experience is always great.

Overall buying singles from the shop has been a wonderful and amazing experience I am so happy with the purchase I made from you guys so thank you compared to other places and other collectible card shops this place has been excellent they know how to package their product right and their product is not at repeat not Ill be up they gave me a very great card and excellent condition sending pictures your way

Very cool and awesome place to go to. The customer service is amazing and they are super helpful. I always have a great experience here. They never disappoint me when buying packs or sealed product in general. I definitely recommend this place and one of the best card shops I have been too,

Great selection of cards for all majors tcgs. Could use some work with their people and communication skills though. Drove out there and took 40 minutes in traffic just to be able to shop for about 10 minutes. This restriction should be advertised a little better given how far the place actually is. Hopefully they improve upon all this as more businesses are opening up now.

CoreTCG is such a great place. I was looking through the area for places that could aid in my TCG needs and came across this gem. Totally did not disappoint. Super grateful for the knowledge the staff has. Their customer service is always on point, and they are always open to answering whatever questions I have. I recommend checking them out if you are a player, collector, enthusiast, or even a curious beginner.

I always have a good time here! And they have a huge amount of product including sealed product I cant find at other shops.

Staff (Vegan) is knowledgeable and passionate about the games they carry- definitely able to answer questions and politely assist when the store did not have FoW in store but online. Im defibrillator looking forward to the play space opening so I can give them more business!

First time there, had a 10 minute limit, and I was genuinely trying to enjoy looking at the cards on display while shopping, but I was constantly being asked “can I help you find something”? It was so rude. I was being rushed out of the story, although I 100% was going to buy something if they allowed me to just enjoy the “10 minutes”. Absolutely terrible experience. The employees were so rude, and I will never be back. I had such fond memories of going to card shops growing up, and am very sad to see card shops with people like this running it exist.

Excellent store to pick up sealed product for Magic The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh. They carry lots of cards storage and supplies too. They do not carry singles for MTG though which is kind of a let down, but understandable. They are more focused on Yu-Gi-Oh. Prices for pre-ordering sealed product are very good and theyre awesome about being courteous and in time with updating you about the status of the pre-order products.

Fantastic store! I’ve bought so many cards from them online. I saw this big bad boy on their Instagram. Their communication and customer service is amazing. I will absolutely continue to buy from them. I’m across the country, I wish I could visit their store.

MTG, KeyForge, all your nerd needs met while walking distance from tasty breakfast burritos!

This place is great, they have pokemon on deck; literally! Friendly people and reasonable prices.

Went to look at some cards was hoping to pick up some and they had some nice cards in the display cases but when I asked about some the majority of them werent for sale because they didnt have extras in stock. Why even have them in the display cases with cards youre selling if youre not going to sell them? Also majority of the singles were almost double (if not) of TCGplayer prices.

Very large collection, prices arent too bad. They purchased some pokemon cards from my son for a fair amount of store credit. Will definitely be back.

The tournament organizer and judges from this place go out of their way to get players banned despite being only a locals event. Not a tier 2 or tier 1 event but locals. This place is a joke

Great Card shop in the area. Prices for packs are incredibly cheap. There covid standards are really high which i really appreciate, but if your in a rush there is a pretty long line at peak hours.

Massive stock, newest stuff and lots of older sets. Staff will help you get the best value. Yugioh, Pokemon, Digimon, DragonBall, and Magic. There are better Magic specific shops in LA, but Core is great for every other tcg!

They had what we wanted. No long lines the cashier was fast .

Went there for the first time with friends and it was a terrible experience. There is a 10min browsing limit per group, but it felt like we didnt even get the full time and were being pushed by the employee to leave. They didnt seem really interested in helping us and the pricing they gave for cards were ridiculous. Almost as if they didnt want us to buy anything. Cards were either out of stock despite being in the display or were grossly overpriced. I wanted to buy a card that averaged $25-35 online but, when I asked for their price they said $1400, which at first I thought I misheard, however the worker at the time was serious about it. Really ruined the buying experience and I will not be returning.

Order online twice already awesome cards come in condition as described if card not available they refund you ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the best card store in the greater LA area for one reason and one reason only... Vigen (aka the most amazing man I’ve ever met). This guy will feed you knowledge on any card you have questions about! He’s super nice and always runs his butt off to help everyone outside in line when we can’t get into the store due to covid restrictions. I really hope Vigen stays at this store, he’s becoming the only reason I shop here now!

I get a really bad vibe from one of the workers there. I feel like he doesnt want to help his customers. Also, the cards not for sale in the display arent labeled not for sale so its really misleading.

Very unprofessional and extremely unhelpful, took no interest in helping customer.When asked about booster boxes he stated “behind me” and pointed to the floor to which I actually had to put my head over the counter, head touching the barrier to see what they had.When asked about card sleeves had very little knowledge on his own stock.Was so uninterested in helping me he actually grabbed booster packs instead of a box like I asked.Having others standing around in the store while there’s a 2 person 10 minutes time limit isn’t smart either.The other customer in store even asked if he should step out and Kenny said “No THEY can wait”.Not how you treat first time customers. Did not get to purchase anything I went into store for due to lack of professionalism he was showing.

Great customer service. I miss going inside to browse and play cards. Curbside pick up only.

Everyone was nice and helpful, bought a ton of yugioh and digimon.

The best customer service ever! Always have product stocked, and are super knowledgeable. Truly a wonderful place ❤️

Customer service is amazing here not only do they go the extra mile for there Customers but they truly do care what you have to say. A quick story yesterday was the first time I placed an order from CORE TCG I live 30 miles away from the place and I picked up my son birthday present. Which was 35 booster packs of Pokemon cards and 2 booster boxes I didnt check the order until I got home when I realized I was missing 5 packs 😔 When I called to let them know I was missing the packs right away they started to help me the employee that was helping me was very professional and helpful giving me so many options to get my missing cards. He offered to ship them for free etc... Then he talks to his supervisor which he also apologized for the inconvenience and he said they will give me extra booster packs for the inconvenience. I just want to say amazing employee that help me on Saturday and great management. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Awesome store! Great place!Staff does a great job providing a lot of cardsPokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, dragonball, digimon and magic.Where it really sets the mood and has me coming back.Love the displays and the vintage Pokémon cards has my nostalgia wanting to come back!Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to find rare cards!

The best card shop I have ever visited. They litteraly have everything you can ever look for. They had yugioh and pokemon items that i havent even seen at Frank & Sons. Staff is friendly and so helpful. My number one spot now. I travel all over our state for card shops and this place is on my number one list.

Great a great place to shop. The staff members are very friendly and polite.

Lol first tryna . Just went in

I had a recent situation where the blisters I ordered were tampered with. I emailed them about what happened because I was very disappointed in the quality of the products I received. (blister/packs obviously opened and resealed, cards in the packs were stuck together)However, they were not aware of this and had no intentions for this to happen. The storefront manager reached out to me to talk about what happened and was very kind/considerate to resend the same order. The customer service and care is exceptional here.They even added two packs of card sleeves in the resent package, which Im very grateful for.

Great service and one of the best stores in Southern California. Great service and good people. They usually have most cards. I do miss playing in store but it makes sense because of COVID and I do appreciate they take the pandemic seriously, unlike other stores.

This store is biased. If you dont think like them you are not welcomed by them. They take advantage of the online purchases and give you rigged items. Idk if his name really is cesar but if it is he is the problem. He has zero customer service or people skills. The only reason I would go to this store in real life is to go in and see if cesar would have the same attitude to my face, since he is a keyboard warrior. Id bet my left but that after this review Im getting banned from their discord lol. I wouldnt put it past a person like him. Wished employers cared more about who they hire and how those employees effect my money and my customers.

Good store to play and buy from great people

Sold a hefty sum of vintage Pokemon cards to the folks at Core TCG and it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Their buy list pricing on most cards was on the higher end vs other sites. When the cards arrived, they processed and submitted the buy offer within less than 1 full business day. Their revised buy offer was extremely fair and the only cards they submitted revised pricing on were cards that I was completely expecting. They deposited the money into my Paypal almost instantaneously. Having never received money in PayPal, I had PayPayl security issues accepting the money and Core TCG went above and beyond (after the fact) to take some extra steps to verify the transer and ensure I got my money quickly. I was really nervous about this process having held onto these cards for 20+ years but Core TCG made the process communicative, reassuring, and pleasant. My only complaint; I wish their buy list was bigger so I could do more business with them!

Hidden gem! Its a mini Frank & Sons/Card Shop. Order online, delivery/pick up or just go in see what they got. The website is the easiest way to see whats in stock. A++

Always a reliable LCS and my first choice for all things Pokemon!

I bought 72 packets of pokemon cards on black Friday... they keep the heavier packs for them self and sell the lighter ones.... be careful guys with them on what u buy... youll have better luck buying ur single packs at Target...

I didn’t feel welcome when I came into the store just got the feeling buy your stuff and get out. Unless you payed for tournament. It’s all about making money these days not making connections that keep people coming back.😒

Great selection of cards. They also take social distancing very seriously. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful as well.

My favorite card shop. Huge collection of Pokémon tins, boxes, blisters and boosters. Not to mention Digimon and Yu Gi Oh stock. Lots of good product.

The charge 25 cent for each card on amazon. That is a rip off. Also they would send you scratched and damaged cards when you paid for new cards. Scammers. I am not going to support ur store ever again.

Great place for all of your trading card needs.

Very good inventory in the store, friendly staff but they are busy

I just purchased some stuff from there online store. Great selection! I havent been in Core TCG since there previous location. Glad to see they see they are doing well. Will have to visit soon.

I really dislike this place because you cant go inside the store and buy anything everything has to be ordered online and takes 24 to 48 hours to process the order. I went about a week ago I was standing outside the store and they were not able to sell me any products. To whoever is reading this I wasted my time so you dont have to. Best advice is call ahead before going to this store.

Friendly staff ALWAYS! They understand the true meaning of customer service and friendship

Where too get good cards, don’t sleep on this place, good workers also !

Called twice to inquire about an in store purchase. Both times I was directed to their website. My item was in stock but upon arriving to the store, turns out they don’t do in store purchases due to the whole COVID 19 epidemic. No where in their website do they have this posted, and this was never mentioned by the people I spoke with. With a 24 hour wait for pickup on online purchases, not worth the time of day, bought my stuff from Amazon instead.

I love buying their cards on Amazon. They usually have the best prices for Yugioh cards.

Great business to buy from fast on time great prices. Ive been doing business with them for a year and Ive havent been disappointed since.

I order 8 yugioh packs on June 23rd of this year, and on November 16 I received an email saying that my order was shipped. I waited 2 weeks for my cards to arrive before I decided to contact them about the order and the replied I got was that someone had picked them up. Until this day I haven’t received my cards nor my money back. I tried calling to explain what had happen and the person that answered the phone was rude as hell and was of no help

Love the place best and honest place to buy pokemon cards

Not only is this website almost always out of the product you want, they also have outrageous shipping costs. Example you want to buy sleeves for a great price on black Friday? Be prepared to spend at least 30 dollars to have them shipped.

This place is the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, large selection from multiple games, very competitive prices, and a relaxed atmosphere most of the time. They do get pretty busy at times, but I view it as a sign of good business. Wish I had more money to spend there!

My new favorite place, by far! Their staff is very friendly and helpful and their selection is incredible. I felt like a kid at a candy store.

Always a great experience and friendly staff

Best place to get yugioh cards

Very friendly shop to buy or hangout at.

This place is a Pokemons collectors wet dream. The variety is endless and thats what makes this place awesome. Just a little hard to find once it gets dark, maybe some lighting would help? Other than that this place is amazing.

One of my top places to buy and play any trading card games.I myself have rotated over 3 card games, and they have been my go to supplier every single time.The card shops bigger than most places, and they have a huge selection of sealed products that are offered at reasonable price.Every worker there is genuinely nice, knowledgable in the cards, and are helpful!Been coming here for a couple years and can see myself coming back more again!

A very nice shop with a very friendly staff. My son was blown away when walked in here and the staff was very patient with us as he looked at everything. One word of advice, parking is in the rear and is limited with no street parking in front available. Plenty of room on the street surrounding the area. Easy to get to from the gold line Fillmore stop as well.

Competitive prices and knowledgeable staff. When It gets busy it can be a little tiresome to get the attention of someone behind the counter, but that is to be expected with the crowds that are normally here. They handle their tournaments with great precision and make it very enjoyable to compete. They have a VERY large selection of singles in almost any TCG you are looking for. Definitely worth stopping by and taking a look.

We love this place. Id like to collect everything that they have.

My wife and I came here for a Friday night DB Super tcg tournament. The price support here is amazing, the player base is amazing and the staff is friendly and efficient! We traveled almost two hours to get here and will be doing so again simply because of this amazing experience! They also have such an amazing collection of VINTAGE cards/packs/special sets!

Really cool spot to buy almost any card you’re looking for and staff is really knowledgeable about anything you ask for in terms of yugioh cards. Customer service on the other hand is the only reason I’m not giving it five stars. They don’t seem interested in new customers or even friendly. Seem like they want to kick you out if you don’t buy something quickly. I’m still going to give this store another chance because maybe it was a tough day for the staff, but customer service is important guys.

Great selection. However do not ship anything unless its Monday through Thursday the premium shipping you pay doesnt work unless its those days. In essence 3 day shipping on thurs night may not get there until t hursday of next week. Just pay basic lesson learned

I ordered a card from them though amazon, and I paid $3.46 in total and they sent me a fake card, they spend more on the envelop its sent in than the cards

Such a nice location, good parking, employees and people were friendly. Very helpful. Really enjoyed coming here and definitely plan to return for whatever I need :-)

Theyll definitely satisfy your tech needs. They got a wide selection at great prices.

I always order from here whether its singles or gold tins 19 or structure deck since I have Amazon its a good store that delivers on time and the products are not damaged.

Pretty nice place, good selection of Pokemon and other card games. They also have a good selection of things like sleeves if you need those. However, while they carry a good range of older to newer MTG sealed product I was a little shocked to find out that they no longer carried singles.

Brought my nine-year-old in to check it out. I know nothing about cards, but my son does. The dude behind the counter -- I forget his name but it was three initials -- was so polite and patient and engaging and respectful to my son, who typically had a billion questions. We will be coming back when he has saved his allowance.

Only been here once but the staff was friendly and theres a great selection of cards.

Ordering singles online from Core TCG is definitely recommended! I just purchased a handful of Yugioh singles during this holiday season and my cards arrived 2 days earlier than the earliest estimated date i was informed of. As a bonus, the cards were shipped in a clear plastic sleeve inside of a clear hard plastic sleeve for added protection, complete with a business card. HIGHLY satisfied with the service!

Ordering single cards online (usually through Amazon) is very easy. They even come with some form of protection for the cards.

Amazing

Good place to sell cards. The only issue I have is when they send you confirmation email regarding the buy lists is that they dont show what price they changed in the email where is shows what they changed.

They are great here - spend your money here - local - they care and they take care of their customers.

People are nice, and the prices are awesome. They also have rare tins and cards that others dont have.

First time coming here, very spacious unless their is a tournament going on. Got couple Vanguard cards, all in mint condition. Would come again if I ever go back up.

Better variety than most TCG stores (probably the best) but some of their employees need to step it up on their customer service.

They have a great selection of Pokémon cards!

Bought 2 different base set pokemon cards from them through their Amazon store. Prices were great and the cards arrived in great condition. Keep up the good work guys!

The store is nice and clean. They offer variety of trading card games ranging from Pokemon,Yu-Gi-Oh,MTG, Vanguard, and DBZ card games and they also sell card accessories like card sleeves, deck boxes, binders and playmats. One thing I like is has a computer for you to search for specific cards that you want to purchase.

Extremely nice employees and great prices unlike other places

Good selection of the more recent editions of Mtg, plus some older items.

Scam artist alert After sending in a buy list order they proceed to devalue my cards. After taking their offer and asking for return of the few they didnt want I got the run around for a week Finally got my cards back and they sent me asian english version of a 1st ed lob tri horned dragon Instead of the one I sent to them. Crooked dealers Beware

Amazing place to visit if you’re into Pokémon or Yu-go-oh. The staff are knowledgeable on what they are selling and will attend your service.

I get cards from them online. This is probably my favorite place for Yu-Gi-Oh cards online. Their selection is one of the best. They have great prices and they ship fast. The orders are protected in a hard sleeve and each order comes with an invoice. You can call them with questions since they have a real store. Lots of online sellers dont have a number to call so these guys stand out quite a bit for all of that.

Horrible customer service. Cancelled orders three times because of a shipping/billing address difference. Only tried to reach out once. When I called and asked I was told to put it through the way I did before. No call. Just cancelled. Won’t try to buy from them again. Awful experience.
