TCG Exchange

East San Antonio TCG shop on Rigsby Ave with a huge singles case, vintage finds, MSRP sealed product with limits, promos and a busy back-room play area.

TCG Exchange on Rigsby Avenue serves San Antonio's east side with a big singles selection and a play area that stays busy even on weeknights. One visitor found it decently busy on a Tuesday night, with shoppers of all ages up front and games running in the back.

Singles are the main draw. Reviewers describe a huge selection with strong pricing, and a regular who has visited more than a dozen times has found good deals on vintage singles. New sealed product sells at MSRP with purchase limits, a policy many collectors appreciate. Staff run frequent promotions. One couple opened free Snoopy-themed cards and got a deal on packs, and snacks are reasonably priced.

The atmosphere is welcoming, and one visitor noted they felt comfortable and not judged. Experiences at the buy counter are more mixed. One longtime customer reported inconsistent bulk quotes from a particular clerk, so confirm pricing before you sell.

Hours run noon to 8PM most days, with Friday open until 11PM and Saturday starting at 11AM. The late Friday close makes it a good spot for evening play.

The back room handles casual games and organized play, and the mix of shoppers spans kids, families and longtime collectors. Regulars say the shop doesn't try to squeeze customers for a quick profit, and that reputation, plus the MSRP policy on new sets, has made it many players' go-to store in San Antonio.

The shop is on Rigsby Avenue on San Antonio's east side, with parking at the storefront. A second TCG Exchange counter operates inside BesTea Café on Babcock Road on the northwest side. Check their Instagram for promos and event announcements.
