ProTzyy Collectibles

Newer north Laredo shop on Calle del Norte mixing Pokemon boxes and sleeves with sports singles like Spurs cards, plus fair buy and trade offers.

ProTzyy Collectibles is one of the newer names on the Laredo card scene, operating out of a suite on Calle del Norte in the north side of town. The shop keeps a clean, uncluttered layout, with sealed Pokemon product stacked along the shelves and display cases holding singles for both trading card game players and sports collectors.

Pokemon is the backbone of the inventory: booster packs from current expansions, Elite Trainer Boxes, collection boxes and a solid supply of sleeves, binders and other protection. What sets it apart from the TCG-only stores in town is a real sports card presence. Local fans hunting a San Antonio Spurs card, or NBA and NFL singles more broadly, can find them here, and the owner prices them reasonably for a market that usually sends collectors north to San Antonio.

Buying and trading are a big part of the business. Bring a stack of duplicates or a sports card you want to move and you can get an offer on the spot, which makes this Laredo card shop a useful stop for collectors who want to cycle their collection without shipping cards to an online buyer. The owner is a Pokemon fan himself, so conversations about pulls and set values come easily.

ProTzyy keeps afternoon-into-evening hours: 3PM to 9PM Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. That schedule suits after-school and after-work visits. Parking is available in the plaza, and with the shop still building its reputation, it is worth following its social pages for restocks of new Pokemon releases. Release weeks tend to move product fast at a store this size, so if you are after a specific Elite Trainer Box or a particular sports single, a quick call ahead can save a wasted trip and lets the owner set something aside for you.
