Best Card Shops in South Carolina

South Carolina has 61 independent card shops in our directory, plus 49 national chain locations. Of all 110 listings, chains included, 92 are classified under TCG and 24 under sports cards (a listing filed under both counts in each). The ranking below covers independents only, scored by rating and review volume.

The order below is a Bayesian average of each shop's Google rating. Every rating is blended with the directory-wide mean of 4.44 stars, weighted as if 15 extra reviews sat at that mean, so a rating backed by a handful of reviews is pulled toward the average and a rating backed by hundreds barely moves. South Carolina has 60 independent shops eligible for the list, 50 of them with a rating and review count; the 20 highest scores are shown. Ratings on the list span 4.7 to 5.0 stars, on review counts from 18 to 1,452 (median 99). By directory category the list splits 13 under trading card games, 6 under sports cards, and 1 under both.

16 cities are represented in the list; the most places go to Columbia (2), Greenville (2), and Mt Pleasant (2). You can see the weighting in the order: A&M Upstate Games, LLC, on 4.9 stars from 205 reviews, ranks above Meelypops SC, on 5.0 from 42 reviews. Every shop on this page is an independent; South Carolina's 49 national chain locations and 1 venue that is not a card shop as such are left out of the scoring entirely rather than ranked low. Nobody from Card Shop Hub has visited these shops; the list reflects Google ratings and nothing else, so treat it as a shortlist to call. The full set of listings is on the South Carolina state page.
