Cute City Sales

Visited from NYC and was looking forward to checking out this shop due to hype from online reviews and recommendations. The man working there was definitely kind in taking the time to help us look for cards we needed, which was much appreciated. They have a huge selection of YGO cards throughout the years. (no OCG or other foreign cards though) But I unfortunately can't justify the prices, as they are marked much higher than TCG's market value. If i wasn't able to get in the mall as easy as I did, then I probably would have been upset making the journey. Lol. (luckily i didn't need to call a number to get inside the caged entrance, as people were going in and out the building)

(Original review date: May 2024. Edited slightly) Located at a small, worn down "mall" which you have to bypass security to enter. Located immediately straight ahead when you enter. You're greeted with a small, slightly cramped space when you enter. Organization really needs some work, there's so much junk laying around I can't even. Review based on YGO products, based off a couple visits. ✅Specializes in yugioh only, and almost all their stock is related to it ✅Has hard-to-find cards ✅Cards are very clean in surface ✅Sells cheap empty tins for storage (0.25 cents) ❌Cards are guaranteed to be bent/slightly damaged, due to the environment itself or owner literally bending the cards themselves while taking out and placing them on the table ❌~12% tax is added to final price. ❌No discounts/sales on items, no exchanges/refunds on damaged items. Be sure to check the quality of owner's picks ❌Does NOT refer to TCGplayer for pricing ❌Mostly Overpriced, uses "Fixed-Price" assigned to each rarity on most cards, meaning price does not change (except for cards owner deems "high"rarity). Might be good for some rare instance where the TCGplayer price is higher, but other than that good luck ❌Owner makes up the price on the spot on some "high-rarity" cards, no way to verify ❌Boosterpacks/boxes.. Don't even bother ❌Trade-in cards for in-store credit but only if owner feels like taking it in ❌Difficult to communicate with owner

Small shop but amazing card selection. I was shopping for Yugioh cards and the store keeper was super helpful in finding all of my cards. Their Yugioh individuals selection was very good, they had MTG, Pokemon, and a few other TCG's. I overall had a very pleasant experience.

A nostalgic feeling card store in the heart of China Town. It is a little eerie getting in as there are security measures to protect the mall but likely necessary to keep the showcase in the area secure. Just like the rest of Chinatown, it's got an old school style to it. It could be a bit more neatly organized but I got great service to find what I was looking for. It's got a lot of yugioh and some pokemon available, and the prices are on par with everything else. Take a peak if you are in the area!

Honestly the best card store for Duel Monsters individual cards. Not only the owners are super attentive and friendly, they know their stuff. They had practically every card I asked for and I have requested some pretty old ones (circa. 2001-2005). A family business with a reasonable and fair price for singles. Went there two times and will be back in the future for sure. I even tried to take a photo with them, but they were shy ahahha.
