Sometimes, and for good reasons. A physical shop carries rent, staff, and overhead an online seller may not, so individual singles can run a bit higher than the cheapest online listing. But shops offer things online can't: you see the exact card and its condition in person, get expert advice, avoid shipping fees and wait times, and support a local community hub with events. On sealed product and common singles, shop prices are often competitive. The best approach is to value the whole experience — instant, in-hand buying and a place to play — not just the sticker price.
