Bhurst collectors

Bensonhurst rip-and-ship crew with a Bath Avenue storefront, known for Brooklyn's widest Pokemon singles range and release-day MSRP pricing.

Bath Avenue isn't where most people expect to find one of Brooklyn's busiest TCG counters. Bhurst collectors started as a livestream operation on Whatnot and TikTok and still runs rip-and-ship streams from the shop. The storefront takes walk-ins every afternoon and evening.

The streams shape the visit. Regulars mention working around a live break now and then, and they say it's worth it for the pricing. Several reviews point out that the owners price sealed product at or below market. One collector says the shop is the only local store they know that sells new releases at MSRP on release day, and another reports buying booster boxes for about 25% less than buying direct online.

Community is the other part of the appeal. Longtime customers talk about making friends at the counter and say the owners, Joey and Jojo, treat first-timers like regulars. If a card or product isn't in the case, the team will usually try to source it. That's handy if you're chasing a specific Japanese release or a single you can't find anywhere else nearby.

Singles are the other draw. A recent visitor called the range of singles the best in Brooklyn, so this is a good stop for Pokemon cards in Bensonhurst if you're filling a binder or chasing one specific card. The team also takes trades, buys cards, and handles grading submissions for customers who want slabs without mailing anything themselves.

Hours suit after-school and after-work visits. The shop opens at 5PM on Monday, 4PM on Tuesday, 3PM Wednesday through Friday and on Sunday, and 2PM on Saturday, and closes at 10PM every night. That late close makes it a useful evening option among southern Brooklyn card shops.

The storefront is on Bath Avenue in Bensonhurst. Follow their TikTok before you go to see what just landed and whether a stream is on.
