Star Cards LLC

Newer San Diego card shop in the Kearny Mesa area with unusual sealed product, a solid spread of TCG singles and weekday and weekend hours except Thursdays.

Star Cards LLC sits at 3654 Ruffin Road, Suite 3660D, in the Kearny Mesa and Murphy Canyon pocket of San Diego. It is a brand-new shop, which one early reviewer states plainly, and that shapes the experience: small team, fresh inventory and a counter where you will probably talk to whoever owns the place.

The pitch is sealed product and singles. A reviewer calls out unique sealed product and a nice selection of TCG singles, and another says there is a great selection of TCGs overall. That wording points to a shop that is not locked into a single game, which is useful if your household splits across Pokemon, Magic and other card games. Others describe the guys as cool and the prices as great, a good sign for a store still building a customer base.

Because the shop is so new, treat it like a discovery. Review counts are low, so there is not a long public track record, but the early comments are uniformly positive, and a brand-new card shop that has won repeat comments about pricing is worth supporting. If you are hunting for something specific, phoning ahead is smart, since stock changes quickly at young shops.

Hours are friendly to most schedules. Star Cards opens 11AM to 7PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and it is closed on Thursday. Plan accordingly if Thursday is your day off. Weekday afternoons are the likeliest time to have the aisle to yourself.
