Family-run outlet store with what locals call the best Pokemon selection on the Coast, plus bulk singles for every major TCG and a retro game wall.
With well over a thousand Google reviews, Play And Talk is the highest-traffic card and game stop in Gulfport, and the volume shows in the inventory. The store occupies a deep outlet-mall unit on Factory Shop Boulevard, splitting its floor between trading cards, new and retro video games, consoles, anime merchandise and Funko-style collectibles.
The Pokemon section is what people drive for. One reviewer called it easily the best selection of Pokemon cards found outside a major city, and the bulk boxes cover essentially every major card game rather than just the headline sets. Sealed product, singles, booster packs and Magic: The Gathering all have shelf presence, and sports cards are stocked alongside. If you are hunting a specific single, the organization is good enough to find it without asking.
The practical caveat regulars mention: there is no seating for bulk searching. If you plan to dig through boxes for an hour, expect to do it standing. Trade-ins are a core part of the business and staff get consistent credit for being knowledgeable when valuing consoles and card lots.
Operating hours are the most generous among Gulfport card shops — 10AM to 7PM Monday through Thursday, 10AM to 8PM Friday and Saturday, and 11AM to 6PM Sunday. Weekday mornings are the quietest, and Saturday afternoons are genuinely busy given the outlet-mall foot traffic.
The shop is family owned and serves Gulfport, Biloxi and the surrounding Gulf Coast, and it sits directly beside P&T Trading Cards, so a single trip covers two very different inventories. Parking is free and plentiful in the outlet lot.
