About Brent's Cards And Coins (Inside Marketplace Treasures)

SO!! I have a lot to say about this place and most of it is positive! However please read because it contains a LOT of info about different types of pokemon things you may be looking for ;) pros!: mostly very well priced!! all high value cards are priced on their low ends which is delightful!! me and my buddy popped in 2 days in a row because their selection was just that vast that we needed that much time to look through it all!! its sorted by type and then mostly alphabetical though it could use a resort (hmu if you need someone to come in and sort it though.. i LOVE doing that) all the merch is REAL, if anything says otherwise im like 99% sure its not true, i checked tags and compared with the websites, theyre all pretty much from the pokemon center or are from things like mcdonalds, etc. the prices are also on the low end so VERY high plus! they also sell code cards which is a HUUUGE up for me, i cant seem to find them near anywhere and it was SO nice i bought like 130 LOL now for the cons, and theres not many but do read: as i said it is a big unorganized right now. lots in the "unsorted" bins and a large bin on the floor with lots of cards just thrown in to be resorted later (srsly i love sorting tho :eyes:) and a lot behind the counter that seems to be very thrown around and disorganized. though that stuff isnt for sale its just visual and a little sad to see sometimes holos on the floor or just dirty from it. next is the pricing on bulk cards. now, im not saying its expensive but i do often see a lot of these cards at other local places sold bulk for 50 for 8-10$ where-as this place is 20 for 5$ (meaning 50 here would cost you 30$ since each card is 50 cents when bought as singles) which i personally think is a high upsell considering some of the conditions of older cards. im not expecting pristine here but some were missing huge chunks or literally falling apart. at some point, its time to let them go and donate them or mark them down way cheap at the least. i also think 50 cents is a bit hefty for recent commons (think, vivid voltage commons)! also as a mini peeve: PLEASE start sleeving cards that need it!! your holos are getting scratched and dinged and its really hard to know whats from being sorted through and sitting around or whats just from being sold to you like that!! plus, theres some really nice WoTC cards with no sleeves that could be kept in really REALLY good conditioned if theyre sleeved now, even with just penny sleeves!!! ;; TLDR: a great place to go for higher end cards and for some older cards as they have a MASSIVE selection! but do be aware that bulk buying there can get pricey fast and a lot of cards you find there will be slightly cheaper other places! and the merch selection is very nice and well priced!! all in all me and my friend probably spent around 150 combined and it was worth it to flesh out collection id post a pic but ive already sorted in all my cards
