Card Empire

Great small business trading collectiable cards. Anthony (the owner) and his lovely wife Tracey are always so welcoming as are the staff, namely the manager Alex. Great selection of single cards so you can build your decks up, as well as packs and boxes of cards from the latest releases and older stock. All competitively priced. I've found a few Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards here cheaper than on ebay. They also buy cards for cash or store credit which is useful. One particular aspect I like, is that they have several collectible items, including tins and folders as well as several gift items. One thing they've started to do recently, is take special notice to customer feedback on improvement. The've removed a cabinet from the centre of the room to increase floor space as well as other small things. While a niche business, its a hard working small business that everyone can get behind to support!

We’re Leeds based and made a trip over because my 9 year old has really fallen in love with Pokémon cards. He’s a real fountain of knowledge about them.We visited this week and both staff, one of them the owner were lovely. The first thing we were told was “welcome, take your time, no rush and if you need anything, just ask. We have a shop in Leeds (geek retreat) but it really doesn’t compare in size or customer service and I just wanted to say thank you for being so lovely with my son. We’ll be back as soon as we can.

Really friendly staff. Unlike most of the stores cards were actually fairly priced. Plenty of yugioh cards. Needs more variety on pokemon cards but overall really good store.

Amazing little shop with genuinely kindhearted and amazing staff. Went in on Saturday to look at yugioh cards. The staff were extremely helpful and patient.To top it off my girlfriend fainted in the shop and the staff were honestly so amazing. They looked after her and myself till she felt better.Highly reccomend this shop to any tcg fans

Brilliant store for buying and selling Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Products are well priced, staff are extremely knowledgeable, selection is very good (being able to buy, single cards, normal products, and other pre-packaged products made by the store, as well as cases for cards)

good collection of cards if youre looking to complete sets or something like that it's great but if youre buying mid high end be carefull there way too confident that there prices are lower then bin and when you can prove its a lot cheaper they wont budge at all. any hobby store should be willing to move if im buying a bunch of singles I should always get a little bit of a discount. thats just how these stores work i understand I will pay a little premium and im perfectly fine doing that especially for cheaper singles but they have so much stock theyre really missing out in so many ways by being so sticky on the prices. that said the guys working there were good and helped me quite a bit. the price thing is just mybiggest pet peeve in hobby shops.

Went to see how much I could get quoted on some Pokémon cards and I was offered £88 cash which was insulting for what the total was worth. I had other buyers and stores offer around £300. Prices of the cards are overpriced aswell and must be going off highest sold prices on eBay and not recently sold.Other reviews say the same so please before you sell check what what your cards are worth and don't fall for their lowball offers.I'm sure the owner will respond to this review since by judging off other reviews he doesn't like being criticised

It would get a zero if I could.I ordered a Pokemon - Detective Pikachu - A5 4-Pocket Portfolio/Album on the 19th September for delivery to Amsterdam for a friends sons birthday present.I paid £6.50 shipping.I contacted them via the chat feature two weeks later when my pal advised he had t received my gift. They apologised and said it would be shipped out, it got stuck in the system.I sent an email on the 4th October no answerAgain, I contacted them today to find out where the gift is! Stay away folks, shocking service

Brought an old collection of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and Ali took the time to go through every card individually and advise on the rarity and price, as well as some great nostalgic chat! Offered a fair price for the cards, which I've decided to hold onto for now. Great service, lovely shop.
