Cardboardia

Cardboardia is a trading card and hobby store at 39815 Alta Murrieta Dr, Suite C6, in Murrieta, California. It carries seven card games, buys cards from customers, and also stocks miniatures, model kits and board games. That mix suits players who want singles and sealed product for several games, and hobbyists who build and paint as well as play.

What's on the shelves

The card selection covers Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Digimon Card Game and Star Wars: Unlimited. Upcoming sealed product is available to preorder, including Magic: The Gathering Star Trek play booster displays, which are priced at $149.95.

Accessories include card sleeves, binders, deck boxes, playmats and dice. Beyond cards, the store sells miniatures and model kits, with Warhammer and Gunpla among them, plus board games.

Selling your cards

The store buys cards as well as selling them. Sellers can use a buylist or book a card-selling appointment to sit down with one of the store's buyers, which suits larger collections better than a quick counter offer.

Events and membership

The store runs events for many trading card games and keeps an event calendar with dates and times. A membership program called the Cardboard Cult offers preorder discounts, flash sales and a members-only store.

Store policies

Purchases can be returned within 15 days of receiving the item, provided it is in the condition it arrived in, in its original packaging and with a receipt or proof of purchase. Sale items, customized items and gift cards cannot be returned, and a return has to be requested before anything is sent back. Online orders can be picked up in the store, which requires valid photo identification, and the payment method used for the order may also be asked for.

Getting there

The store sits in a shopping center setting on Alta Murrieta Drive, in Suite C6. Several other game and comic shops are close by, which makes a short loop of stores easy.
