Next-Gen Games TCG 4.6(435)

The address on file for Next-Gen Games is 5450 W Pico Blvd Unit 103, Los Angeles, CA 90019. 435 Google reviews back the 4.6-star figure — first by volume among Los Angeles's 13 rated shops. Both a phone number and a website are on file, which puts this listing among the 16 of 23 in Los Angeles that link out to a site of their own. The widest the posted week gets is 11 AM at one end and 9 PM at the other. The two closest listings to it are Phantom Cards & Collectibles, under a mile away, and GXGAMERS at under a mile.

There are 23 card shops on file in Los Angeles, 19 of them independent; this is the fifth entry in that list. That order is a rating weighted by review count, not alphabetical and not by distance. The closest other cities with listings are West Hollywood, about 4 miles out with 2 shops, and Vernon at roughly 5 miles. The directory files this listing under trading card games. That is a classification applied to the business record, not the result of anyone checking a display case. California as a whole has 493 independent shops on file across 230 cities and 202 chain locations alongside them. What the directory does not hold is inventory: there is no record here of what is in the case on a given day, which sets are open, or what the shop pays for cards. Call before you drive.
