Rapid Spin TCG & More

Rapid Spin TCG & More is a trading card and video game store at 1630 S Broad St in downtown Commerce, Georgia. A husband, wife and a few close friends opened it in 2022, and the room is built around Magic: The Gathering play, with Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and several newer card games on the shelves. It suits Commander players, singles hunters and anyone with a binder of cards to sell.

What's on the shelves

Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! are the core. The store also carries Disney Lorcana, One Piece, Union Arena, Gundam, Riftbound, Dragon Ball Z and Star Wars: Unlimited. On the Magic side that means Commander decks and singles for building out a deck. Pokémon sealed product is sold in the store only and is not sold online.

Accessories cover the usual protection and play gear:

• Dragon Shield sleeves
• Vault X zip binders
• Ultra PRO top loaders, playmats and dice sets
• Ultimate Guard Boulder deck cases, in clear and themed designs

The shelves also hold video games, consoles and video game accessories, and the stock changes often.

Weekly play

Magic Commander nights anchor the week, with open free play on the other days the store is open.

The weekly nights carry no listed entry fee.

Featured events

Beyond the weekly schedule, the store runs a monthly competitive Commander (cEDH) tournament, usually on a Sunday starting at noon. The October event is Sunday, October 25, and the next is the Win-A-Dual event on Sunday, November 22, both running from noon to 5 PM. The Win-A-Dual format pairs a $30 entry with a dual land as the top prize and store credit for the next few finishers, depending on turnout. Those events are proxy friendly, with no limit on proxies, though paper slips placed in front of cards are not allowed.

Prerelease tournaments for new Magic sets are also part of the calendar, with sign-up in the store. Recent ones covered The Hobbit and Reality Fracture, the latter on Friday, September 25 from 7 to 9 PM.

Buying and selling

The store is always buying. Bulk trading cards, vintage toys, comics and other collectibles can be brought in person for a look and a quote, and payment comes as cash, digital payment or store credit. Card condition is graded on the official conditioning standards used across the trading card marketplace, so a seller can expect a consistent read on what a card is worth.

Hours and getting there

Map directions often send drivers to park behind the building and walk through it, but the only way in is through the two entrances on S Elm Street.
