The CORE Comics & Games posts hours for all seven days. The record carries a phone number and a website, so there are two ways to check something before setting out. 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.
