Secondhand Soldiers

A Mall St. Vincent card shop buying and selling Pokemon, Magic, and One Piece cards, plus secondhand Warhammer miniatures and board games.

Secondhand Soldiers has operated inside Mall St. Vincent since 2019, giving it a different rhythm than Shreveport's standalone, strip-mall card shops; mall foot traffic brings in casual browsers alongside the regular TCG crowd. Owner Colby Delaune has built the shop around a resale-forward model, running an active buylist that pays cash or trade credit for Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, and Riftbound cards brought in by local sellers.

That secondhand focus extends beyond cards. The shop stocks used Warhammer miniatures, board games, and D&D materials alongside new TCG product, giving budget-conscious hobbyists a way into games that usually require an expensive buy-in. It's a niche none of Shreveport's other card shops fill in quite the same way, and it's helped the shop build a loyal, if smaller, following since opening.

Gaming events built around Flesh and Blood and other current TCGs give local players a regular reason to stop in beyond simple retail, and the shop runs a preorder and mail-order system for collectors who can't make it in person before a new set sells out. A Better Business Bureau accreditation since January 2024 reflects a track record that's earned trust even with a still-small review footprint.

Closed Mondays, the shop opens at noon the rest of the week and stays open into early evening, with slightly later hours Friday and Saturday. Being inside Mall St. Vincent means parking and access follow the mall's hours, and the owner-operated feel comes through in a shop that reviewers describe as casual and welcoming rather than transactional.

The Better Business Bureau accreditation is a detail that stands out for a shop this size, and it reflects an operation that's leaned on trust and fair pricing to build repeat business rather than volume alone. For anyone clearing out a collection, the buylist here is a straightforward way to turn cards into either cash or credit toward something new.
