Card Shops in Minnesota

Minnesota has one of the highest independent shares in the directory: 84 of 110 listings are local shops, leaving a chain share of just 24%. Minneapolis leads with 7, followed by Duluth (4), St Paul (4), Rochester (3), and Brainerd (3).

Coverage reaches well past the Twin Cities — Duluth, Rochester and Brainerd all carry multiple independents — and 50 of the state's 70 listed cities hold exactly one shop. Only 10 are chain-only.

Classification is 75 trading card games to 43 sports cards with 8 under both. 91 shops post hours and 59 of those show seven days; 20 close Mondays.

Every Minnesota entry carries an address and a map link; 97 carry a phone number, 91 post hours, and 84 link to a website. 85 have a Google rating attached, which is what the ranking on each list page is built from. Stock, buy prices and event nights are not fields in this dataset, so nothing here can tell you what is in a case today. The Card Farmers MN in Marshall (5.0 stars from 70 reviews), MinnyCards- MinnyCards24 in Crosby (5.0 stars from 50 reviews), and Card Liberty LLC in Isanti (5.0 stars from 47 reviews) top the ranking once review volume is accounted for.

Only 35 Minnesota listings are thin enough to be kept out of search results, a low share that follows from how few chain records the state has. 85 of the 110 carry a Google rating and 97 a phone number, so most listings here have something behind them.
