The Shop DTP

Downtown Pomona's culture hub for trading cards, retro video games, and comics, where One Piece and Pokemon pulls share the floor with tournaments and live music.

Set in the heart of the downtown Pomona arts district on West 2nd Street, The Shop DTP is less a card counter and more a full-blown collector's clubhouse. Trading cards sit alongside retro video games, comics, graded slabs, Funko Pops, and apparel, and on any given night the back of the room might be hosting a card tournament or a live music set. It's a crossover space, and that mix is exactly why it draws such a loyal downtown crowd.

For card players, the draw is the community energy as much as the inventory. The One Piece TCG has a real following here, Pokemon singles and sealed product move steadily, and the staff are known for pulling collectors into conversations about the hobby rather than just ringing them up. Reviewers repeatedly single out the friendly, knowledgeable crew and the welcoming, everyone-belongs vibe.

Physically, the space carries the character of a downtown storefront — glass cases up front, walls stacked with collectibles and comics, and open room in back for events. It rewards a slow browse; there's a genuine treasure-hunt quality to digging through the trading cards, comics, and vintage games side by side.

Plan your visit around the schedule: The Shop is closed Tuesdays, opens at noon the rest of the week, and stays open until 9PM on Thursdays for those who want a later window. Between the events calendar, the live music, and the deep collectibles mix, this is one of the more distinctive card shop Pomona has to offer for anyone who likes their hobby with a side of local culture.
