9P Nine Pocket
On Halyard Street since 2016

About the shop

We're named after the page every collection ends up in. Nine pockets, one binder, and the same argument about which card goes in the middle.

How it started

A table at a show, then a bigger table, then a lease in 2016 on a room off Halyard Street with enough space for the back table we actually wanted. The shop grew out of trade night, not the other way round, which is why the table gets the good half of the room.

The neighborhood

Corner of Halyard and 4th, ten minutes from downtown, two doors from the laundromat. Half our regulars walk here. The lot behind the building is free and it's ours, so nobody has to feed a meter to come in and look at cards for an hour.

What we care about

Nobody gets talked down to

Whether you're here for a $2 common or a slab, you get the same counter and the same answers. Everyone who works here started out not knowing any of it either.

Kids are welcome

Sunday afternoons are learn-to-play and the bulk boxes are deliberately cheap. A card shop that isn't fun at eleven doesn't get anyone at thirty.

We're a shop, not a flipper

We hold stock back so the wall isn't empty a week after a release, and we'd rather see you again than clear the shelf on day one.

How we price

Off what things are actually selling for, checked often enough to be honest. If you think something in the case is wrong, say so — sometimes you'll be right and we'd rather know.

Come by

Tuesday through Sunday. Thursday is trade night and it's the best first visit.
