Dr.PacksTCG TCG 4.3(9)

The address on file for Dr.PacksTCG is 2514 College Ave, Alton, IL 62002. 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. Statewide, Illinois accounts for 249 independent listings spread over 139 cities, plus 67 chain locations. Hours are posted for all seven days of the week. The record carries a phone number and a website, so there are two ways to check something before setting out.

Of the 4 Alton listings carrying a rating, this one is fourth by review count, with 9 behind its 4.3 stars. There are 4 card shops on file in Alton, 3 of them independent; this is the third entry in that list. Order on a city page comes from rating shrunk toward the site-wide average by review volume, so a 5.0 from nine reviews does not automatically lead. The closest other cities with listings are East Alton, about 3 miles out with 1 shop, and Wood River at roughly 5 miles. Two other listings sit close by: Funky Planet Toys & Gifts, 2 miles off, and Funky Cards and Collectables at 2 miles. 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.
