Vancity CJ Trading Cards - Vancouver Pokemon Cards

CJ & crew consistently run the best Pokemon store in the lower mainland and have the best community behind them. they also host fun stuff like events, or scavenger hunts, which I am the undisputed goat of (peep the aoki pics & thank you to CJ for giving me my best memories in my time being apart of the vancouver pokemon community) I would reccomend anyone to walk in to their shop anytime for a fun experience. their pricing is also always great and they always have some great product and slabs in stock

Just had my first experience selling my cards to a shop, and it was honestly such a good experience. I was nervouse the shop would try and fleece me for a better deal in their favor, but man, the team at CJ took valuing my cards very seriously to reflect the most accurate value. It took a while (like 2 hours) but that's because they were diligent to get the exact fair price to buy my cards for (and I had a fat stack). I could not recommend them enough. A truely refreshing experience in an industry of shady sharks. They also had tables for us to play while we wait. Love this place

Phenomenal Experience! Went in with the intention to trade in some cards from PC for some singles they had. The staff was very friendly and cut me in line to price my cards and was able to make a deal! Lovely place and would recommend fellow Pokémon enthusiasts to come by. By far the best shop in Vancouver!

What can I say about Vancity; CJ, Jesse, and the rest of their team are all wonderful and SO kind to everyone that comes in to the shop. They’re extremely dedicated to bringing the best and highest quality experience to each and every customer that walks in. They’re very kind people, and it’s always lovely speaking to them. I’m always happy recommending their shop to people looking for cards. They’re also some of the most giving people I’ve met, which in this day and age is extremely refreshing. Seeing the good they do really gives me some hope. I hope CJ knows that she inspires a lot of little girls out there, showing them they can kick butt in any male dominated industry, several of the kids I volunteer with now want to open their own businesses because of you! ❤️

Some of the nicest people in the hobby that truly go above and beyond… This store is naturally a success and deserves every single bit of it. If you’re ever in the area visiting is a MUST, especially if you love trading cards, collectibles and especially shiny cardboard. Any negative feedback on here doesn’t seem to make much sense when experiencing it in person. Top tier, don’t think twice!

This pokemon trading shop is really cool and has a lot of cards and special items that you can’t get in other places. The staff here are great and very helpful. They also have a few tables for you to trade and battle your Pokémon’s. Come check them out.

I came in with my slabs. I suggested a simple process: let’s go through them with a clear yes/no first, and then if there’s a “yes” pile, we can work from there. Instead of acknowledging that, the staff member cut me off with, “We’re firm on the price” — which wasn’t even what I was asking about. He then snapped a few quick photos, sent them to his boss, and within seconds told me, “We’re probably not going to take these.” Immediately after, he just walked away and started helping other customers, leaving me standing there. No reason given. Not even something basic like, “We’re not buying this type of card right now” or “These aren’t in demand.” Nothing. Just brushed off in a cold way that made me feel like I didn’t matter. I get it, the guy’s young — but if you’re going to work in a hobby store, you need at least some customer service training. A little honesty and courtesy would’ve gone a long way. Instead, I walked out feeling unwelcome and embarrassed.

Resolved shipping issue and refunded express cost. Good business practices! Update: They also shipped me a freebie, absolutely no charge at all 🥹
