Collect 'Em

Collect 'Em is a card and collectibles shop at 930 Austin Ave Ste A in Waco, Texas, open since 2025. It is built around trading cards, with Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game and sports cards on the shelves, alongside Hot Wheels and other die-cast and vintage collectibles. It suits newcomers and returning collectors alike, and anyone with a stack of cards to sell or trade.

What's on the shelves

Trading card games make up one side of the stock: Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering, plus newer games such as One Piece Card Game. Inventory turns over constantly as new pulls, vintage cards and traded-in collections come through, so the shelves rarely look the same twice.

Sports cards cover basketball, baseball, football, hockey and soccer, running from big names and historic seasons to rising players and current releases. The shop also carries Hot Wheels and other die-cast cars, retro trading games and vintage toys, which gives the place a broader collectibles feel than a pure card shop.

For protecting what you buy, the store stocks sleeves, holders, binders and storage products.

Buying, selling and trading

The store buys, sells and trades. Cards and collectibles brought in are evaluated for fair buying and selling prices, which makes it a workable stop for someone clearing out a collection or looking to trade into something new.

Live breaks and online sales

Live case breaks are part of the store's event calendar, with big pulls shared in real time. The shop also runs live case breaks, pack openings and real-time auctions online, and sells a rotating selection of singles, sealed product and collectible finds for direct purchase and shipping. Community events that tie collecting to local causes round out the calendar. The store takes part in the Collect 'Em on the Brazos Card Show, a Waco-area show tied to the shop.
