Avoid both Cards and Coffee and Bleecker Trading if you’re looking for Pokémon in NYC. Cards and Coffee has completely fallen off. Management is awful - not only do they not know anything about Pokemon, but they’ll try and rip you off if you’re looking to sell or trade by offering 50-60% on whatever your cards are actually worth. They also recently sold my friend a light vintage pack for the price of a heavy, which is super scummy business. Next door at Bleecker Trading isn’t much better. They have slightly more selection, but everything comes with a MAJOR West Village tax. They’ll bend over backwards negotiating deals for a KZfaqr/influencer, but their buying practices for the average Joe are just as bad as the shop next door. Most of their slabs are SGC and the staff knows nothing about Pokemon either. The shop is tiny and super claustrophobic if there’s anyone else in the store. They host trade nights, but it’s 99% sports cards anyways. Save your time and money - avoid Cards and Coffee and Bleecker Trading in NYC.

I went to Poke Court and they also heard that Cards & Coffee sold a "heavy" vintage card pack and it had no holo. The customer didn't get their money back or anything unlike Poke Court which guarantees a holo or your money back for a heavy pack as it should contain a holo. Not sure if your friend is the same person Poke Court referred to but that was about 1 month ago.

To be fair, 50-60% is pretty standard for any card shop to offer sale or trade in. But rest of what you say is valid.

@NaloCSGO 24 күн бұрын

I can't speak for the other stuff but I wanna point out that 50-60% is pretty normal for card shops to sell to. If the card shop turns around and sells your single for negotiation price, it's probably gonna be sold for around 85-90%, which means they are only taking a cut of 25-40%, which is dismantled by employee, rent, insurance, utilities, sourcing costs, etc. They don't get to exist for free. Not only that, but they're providing an opportunity to directly liquidate your cards with no shipping/middlemen/scam risk.

Very true bro. I had bad experiences at both places as well.

Agree with cards & coffee. $55 for Paldean Fates ETB and generally pretentious/scammy vibe. I think you're being harsh on Bleecker Trading. They have fair prices and a nice, albeit small store. They have a nice $10 discount for new shoppers and the employees are really nice and helpful. Obviously the prices are not going to reflect online because they have overhead costs, but if you want to whine like a kid, you can call it a "West Village tax". Sorry that the employees didn't suck your dick over Pokemon and that you got nervous being in a store with other people.

5:02 Tbh if I am buying cards from a store I would like for the people selling them to actually know what they are selling. I'd expect that much at a bare minimum. Not the price of every card in existence but at least larger items... Of course the tin has packs in it that was kind of a dumb answer. That salamence tin has been reprinted recently... the back still says 2019, but it has modern silver and lost origin packs within. It also says "Vstar" on the back in a paragraph letting you know its a repacked tin and not the original. You could get cheated out of a purchase if they told you it was 2019.

@justanothercollector43 28 күн бұрын

This is all I ask. Not just last sold listings

@Bananasforthesoul 26 күн бұрын

That’s exactly what I thought. Zero knowledge of what they’re working with. Likely pricing the tin at whatever variant Is highest even if it’s the newer one. See it all the time.

@hawkteflon 28 күн бұрын

That last shop is awesome. Really cool stuff and not super crowded like a Collectacon would be.

@Youtubefan567 26 күн бұрын

Agreed. I went there (Poke Court) and was blown away by their selection. Everyone working there is really cool to talk to as well. My main negative is their hours are very limited (12 - 5:30 PM Monday - Friday) so if you work in NYC and don't work right in that area with a 9 - 5 it's practically impossible to visit.

ive had great times at cards and coffee,but that guy TANNER from cards and coffee is a moron, i was tryna sell 3 psa 10 japanese neo genesis holos all comping at 75-85 dollars each. then a psa 9 shadowless magneton comping at 150-180. i was interested in a randy johnson rookie psa 9 that was comping at 50 bucks, there was a low comp at 30 but i was still willing to pay 50 as i dont value the card by a single auction comp. he wanted me to pay 75 for the randy johnson card, then was offering me 25 dollars for my typhlosion becasue he found 1 single auction comp where the card fell to 50. yet the last 10 comps all 75-85 dollars. he offered me 30 percent of comps on my cards, then wanted me to pay over 40 percent of comps on his cards lmao. guy completely wasted my time tryna tell me pokemon doesnt sell there blah blah blah. yet hes in this video saying pokemons there best seller. i went next door to bleecker trading where they jumped right on my cards and paid me 75-80 percent of comps without a blink. i even walked out of bleecker with a nice hat!

Not sure buying cards from shop to resell for profit is it a good idea seem most shops selling at tcgplayer or last ebay sold com price which is market price even if you bought at bundle will be like 90-95% maybe? Wil you will be making much profit or lose? Just curious no offence. i am doing small resell business on my own no shop i mainly look for those who are quitting hobby or streamline or just clear to make space, i dont buy at % as long as price is good and seller is happy with the price i offer and i able to sell at below market and still able make some profit i am happy.
