Phoenix Rise

Fort Worth's far-north card and tabletop stop on N Beach St, buying, selling and trading cards and games with 10AM openings and 11PM weekend closes.

Phoenix Rise is the answer to a question a lot of north Fort Worth collectors ask: where can I buy, sell and trade cards without driving to the other side of the metroplex? The shop works out of a unit on North Beach Street in the 76244 area, and with more than 900 Google reviews at a 4.3 average it has built a bigger public track record than most independent card shops in the city.

The business model is wide rather than narrow. It deals in trading cards and tabletop games, and local listings describe it as a place that buys, sells and trades comics, collectibles, video games and other gaming merchandise. For a collector that means you can walk in with a binder of Pokemon or Magic singles, a stack of older cards, or a few loose games and see what the counter will offer, then spend the credit on something else in the same visit.

Hours are generous. Monday through Thursday it opens at 10AM and closes at 9PM, Friday and Saturday stretch to 11PM, and Sunday runs 11AM to 6PM. That Sunday window is shorter than the rest of the week, so plan a weekend afternoon visit for Saturday if you want the full evening crowd. Mornings are the better choice for sorting through singles with less foot traffic.

We tag the shop for Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, singles and events, since tabletop game stores of this type build their weekly rhythm around organized play. Check with the shop at (817) 743-2497 for its current schedule, because tournament nights and release-weekend events can shift.

You will find it at 10716 N Beach St, Fort Worth, TX 76244. For anyone looking up trading cards in Fort Worth on the north side, near the Alliance and Keller edges of town, it is a practical single stop that combines cards, games and trade-ins under one roof.
