Forever Games

East Columbus buy-sell-trade shop blending Pokemon and Magic cards with video games, earning a 4.7 rating for fair offers and laid-back service.

Forever Games works the east side of Columbus, a corner of the city that bigger card stores have largely left unserved. The Morrison Road shop near Broad Street keeps a straightforward promise: bring in your Pokemon cards, Magic cards, or video games, and walk out with cash, trade credit, or something new from the shelves.

The card inventory concentrates on what moves. Pokemon sealed product and singles are the headline, with Magic: The Gathering close behind, and the display cases turn over steadily as trade-ins arrive. Because the shop buys collections continuously, the singles selection has a lucky-dip quality — modest on some visits, surprising on others — and pricing stays grounded because the owner competes on trade value rather than chase-card markup. Video games round out the floor, from modern consoles back through retro libraries, drawing a crossover crowd that keeps the shop busy on weekends.

A 4.7-star Google average across 183 reviews is built almost entirely on service stories: fair offers explained line by line, no-pressure browsing, and a staff that remembers repeat customers by name. For families easing kids into collecting, that temperament matters as much as inventory.

Hours are afternoon-focused — noon to 8PM Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6PM Sunday and Monday — which suits the after-school and after-work traffic the shop is built around. Parking is directly outside the door in the Morrison Road plaza, just off the I-70 corridor. For a Pokemon cards Columbus stop on the east side that treats sellers as well as it treats buyers, Forever Games has quietly become the neighborhood standard.
