Mia's Consignment

Mia's Consignment is a small Indio card shop with Pokemon, One Piece and Magic packs, dime boxes of bulk singles and play tables for evening and weekend games.

Mia's Consignment is a compact trading card shop on Requa Avenue in central Indio, and it fills a real gap: the city itself has very few stores dedicated to cards. The shop at 83115 Requa Ave, Suite 1, is small, but it squeezes in shelves of sealed product, boxes of singles and enough tables for locals to sit down and play.

Inventory spans several of the most popular games. Pokemon packs are a staple, and the shop has a reputation for fair pack pricing that keeps returning collectors coming back. One Piece Card Game product is stocked too, and Magic: The Gathering players can order cards online and pick them up in store. For bargain hunters, the dime boxes are worth a dig, with bulk cards that occasionally hide a playable or collectible surprise. If you are looking for Pokemon cards in Indio without driving to Palm Desert or Cathedral City, this is the in-town option.

The owner is usually behind the counter and happy to help track down a product or talk about what has been pulling well. The shop also runs an online storefront through Square, which is handy for checking stock or placing a pickup order before you drive over.

Hours are unusual, so plan ahead. Mia's is open Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6PM-10PM and on weekends from 1PM-8PM; it is closed Monday, Tuesday and Friday. The evening weeknight hours make it a natural after-work stop, and those nights are when local players tend to gather at the tables. Weekend afternoons are better for browsing packs and digging through the bulk boxes with kids in tow.

The storefront is just off Highway 111 near downtown Indio, with parking close by. Bring sleeves and a deck if you want to join a game, and a few dollars in change for the dime boxes.
