The Creative Play Sports 4.8(33)

Card Shop Hub has The Creative Play at 170 E 17th St #101, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. Classification here is sports cards — a directory-level label drawn from the business listing rather than from a stock check. Across the week the earliest listed opening is 10 AM and the latest listed close is 5 PM. There are 2 card shops on file in Costa Mesa, 1 of them independent; this is the first entry in that list. That order is a rating weighted by review count, not alphabetical and not by distance. California as a whole has 493 independent shops on file across 230 cities and 202 chain locations alongside them. 33 Google reviews back the 4.8-star figure — second by volume among Costa Mesa's 2 rated shops.

Two other listings sit close by: GameStop, under a mile off, and T&K TCG at 3 miles. If Costa Mesa comes up short, Newport Beach (3 shops, ~3 mi) and Fountain Valley (~5 mi) are the nearest alternatives on file. 6 days carry posted hours here, and Sunday does not. The record carries a phone number and a website, so there are two ways to check something before setting out. None of this covers what is actually on the shelves. The directory stores contact and location data only, so anything about current stock is a phone call away.
