Calling all Trainers! Bring your Pokémon cards and join us for a come-and-go card swap during our Family Game Day event. Whether you're looking to trade, show off your collection, or just talk all things Pokémon, this is the perfect spot to connect with fellow fans of all ages.
No need to stay the whole time just drop in when you can and swap at your own pace. All ages are welcome, and trading etiquette is encouraged (be kind, be fair!). Its is required that parents accompany children under 10 years old.
Gotta trade 'em all!
COMMON STORE RULES FOR POKEMON CARD TRADING
General conduct
• Use designated areas: Trading should only happen at approved locations, such as a designated gaming table, to avoid blocking aisles or disrupting the retail area.
• Be respectful: Store owners enforce a code of conduct to ensure a friendly and respectful atmosphere. Abusive language or aggressive behavior is not tolerated.
• Supervise minors: If a minor is trading, a parent or guardian should be present to oversee the exchange to ensure it is fair and transparent.
Card Evaluation
• Agree on value: Traders are responsible for agreeing on the value of their cards. Many stores have resources, like price guides or internet access, to help determine a card's current market price.
• Check card condition: A card's condition is a major factor in its value. Stores expect traders to accurately assess and disclose any flaws, like creases, whitening, or edge wear, before finalizing a trade.
• No cash exchanges: In most cases, cash or store credit cannot be used as part of a player-to-player card trade. Trading is typically limited to card-for-card exchanges.
Store-specific policies
• Store staff do not mediate: The staff at the store will generally not mediate disagreements over trade fairness, but they will intervene if trading rules or the code of conduct are being violated.
• Selling cards for cash is not allowed: Trading between customers is distinct from selling to the store. Stores typically prohibit customers from making cash sales to each other on the premises.
• Participation fees: Some stores may charge a small fee to use their designated trading space during a Pokémon League or other organized event.
• Store buy-list priority: Some stores that buy cards from customers have a "buy-list." They may require traders to use a store's buy-list as the official valuation for a trade, or give priority to store transactions over customer trades.
Fair trading practices for players
Regardless of store rules, players should follow best practices to ensure fair and safe trading:
• Know your cards: Research the cards you want to trade and those you want to acquire so you understand their current market value.
• Protect your collection: Always store your valuable cards in protective sleeves or binders during a trading session.
• Communicate clearly: Discuss and agree on all trade details with your trading partner upfront to prevent misunderstandings.
