Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Shops

5,118 listings carry the Yu-Gi-Oh! tag, across 2,582 cities and all 50 states, with 2,817 independent shops and 2,301 chain locations among them.

Every one of those listings is here for the same reason: the directory tags any business filed under trading card games, or under both categories, for Yu-Gi-Oh! alongside Pokemon and Magic. Of the three, Yu-Gi-Oh! has the thinnest independent evidence base — only 2 listings name the game in its own name or description. That is not a statement about how many shops stock it; it is a statement about how rarely shops put it on the sign, which is a different thing.

In practice this page is best used as a geographic index of card shops, narrowed afterwards by a phone call. OCG imports, current-format singles depth and locals attendance are all things a Yu-Gi-Oh! player cares about and none of them exists as a field in this dataset.

The listings concentrate in Texas (541), California (530), Florida (347), New York (251), and Ohio (208), and at city level in Houston, Texas (47), San Antonio, Texas (47), Las Vegas, Nevada (36), and Brooklyn, New York (29). 2,301 chain locations — 45% of the page — are included because of that category-level assumption; state and city pages group them below the independents, and filtering past them is the first thing to do with this list.

Across the whole set, 4,824 carry a phone number, 4,566 post hours, and 4,297 link to a website, and 3,616 listings have a Google rating attached, which is what the ordering on the state and city pages runs on. By category the split is 4,701 listings filed under trading card games alone and 417 under both games and sports cards — the second group being shops where a Yu-Gi-Oh! player and a sports collector can walk in together.
