FPG Collectibles

Friendly neighborhood TCG shop on Brady Street where Pokemon and Magic players gather, trade, and grind FNM at the play tables in back.

FPG Collectibles set up at 1220 E Brady in early 2024 with a clear mission: be Milwaukee's neighborhood game store, not a flip-shop. The interior leans community-first — display cases line the front, a row of play tables runs along the back wall, and the owners spend most of their time talking pulls with the regulars instead of hovering on TCGplayer.

Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering anchor the inventory. Singles are organized by set and sleeved in toploaders behind the counter, sealed booster boxes are stacked on the shelves above, and the supplies wall covers Dragon Shield, Ultra Pro, BCW, and the usual binder and toploader rotation. Lorcana and One Piece have a smaller but growing footprint.

What makes FPG stand out among Milwaukee card shop options is the play space. Modern, Commander, and Pioneer MTG nights run on a weekly cadence, and Pokemon league fires regularly. Entry fees are kept low and prize support skews toward in-store credit, which keeps the events friendly to newer players rather than turning into local PTQs.

Hours run Wednesday through Sunday — they're closed Monday and Tuesday, which is worth noting because it catches first-time visitors off guard. Sunday is the quietest time to browse; weekend evenings are best for actually playing. Street parking on Brady is metered but free after 6pm. The owners take consignments and will quote walk-in collections without an appointment.
