Cards N Art

Yu-Gi-Oh is the main event at Cards N Art, a new Jacksonville card shop on Philips Highway with factory-sealed product and a relaxed hangout feel.

Cards N Art is a brand-new face in Jacksonville's card scene, set in Suite D on Philips Highway in the 32216 ZIP. The customers who have already rated it describe it as new on the block, and all of them left five stars, so the early impression is strong even if the sample is small.

Yu-Gi-Oh is the speciality. One shopper calls out a great selection and says the products were factory sealed at reasonable prices, including items that are no longer available at big-box stores. Another reviewer says the shop mainly carries Yu-Gi-Oh but also stocks Pokemon cards and other products, and describes the atmosphere as perfect for a day off with a friend, hanging out and playing a favorite game. A third is simply glad to have another shop selling Yu-Gi-Oh, which tells you something about how thin the supply has been locally.

Pokemon collectors get a look in as well. A customer picked up a Mew ex they had been looking for, thanks to a friendly owner named John. The mix makes Cards N Art a useful second stop in the Jacksonville card shop circuit: stop in for sealed Yu-Gi-Oh product, then see whether the Pokemon shelf has the single you need.

Because it is new, hours are limited and worth checking before you drive. Google lists Thursday and Friday from 3PM to 8PM and Saturday from noon to 5PM, with every other day closed. Treat it as an after-work Thursday or Friday stop, or a Saturday afternoon visit.

Cards N Art is at 5801 Philips Hwy, Suite D, and the website cardsnart.com is the best place to check for updates. If you are looking for Yu-Gi-Oh cards Jacksonville collectors can buy sealed and in person, it is worth the trip.
