Illinois card shops, Chicago and downstate

Chicago has more Illinois listings than any other city, and in the suburbs most of the shops are sports-card stores. Skokie, Highland Park, Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg, Lisle, Oak Lawn and North Riverside each have one, and all of them stock Pokémon alongside sports cards. Naperville, Aurora, Elgin and Joliet have a mix of game stores and sports shops.

Inside the city, most listings are on the North and Northwest Sides, with a few on the South Side in Bridgeport and Mount Greenwood. From the North Shore, the Kenosha shops in Wisconsin are under an hour up I-94.

Downstate, Rockford, Peoria, Champaign and Springfield each have a few shops. There are none south of Springfield yet. The Metro East sits right across the Mississippi from St. Louis.
