The Hobby Hub

The Hobby Hub is a card and collectibles store at 2474 E Austin St in Giddings, Texas, with Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana and sports cards on the shelves. It is one of two locations, and the Giddings shop runs on a lighter schedule than its sibling in Bastrop. It suits the player who wants a Friday-night Magic table and a place to buy, sell or trade cards without driving to a bigger town.

What's on the shelves

The store stocks singles and sealed product across its games: Magic, Pokémon, One Piece, Union Arena, Gundam, Disney Lorcana and sports cards. Accessories fill out the rest, including sleeves, deck boxes, top loaders and board games. The store buys, sells and trades cards, and gift cards are available.

Weekly play

Friday is the night to plan around in Giddings.

Prerelease and special events replace the Friday tournament when they come up, and the store stays open late when events run long.

The wider schedule

The Hobby Hub runs a fuller event calendar across its two locations. Magic also meets on Sundays at 2 PM in Bastrop, and that store hosts the Pokémon Trade and Play Day on the second Saturday of each month from 2 PM to 5 PM. Weekly tournaments for Union Arena (Wednesdays, 5:30 PM), One Piece (Fridays, 5:30 PM) and Gundam (Thursdays, 5:30 PM) run across the business, along with monthly tournaments for Pokémon (second Thursday, 6:30 PM) and Lorcana (fourth Tuesday, 6 PM). Which of these run at the Giddings shop is worth confirming before making a trip.

Hours and getting there

The Giddings store is closed Mondays.

The Bastrop store, at 1009 Main Street, keeps different hours, including Monday and a later Sunday close, so the two should not be assumed to match.

The local scene

Tejas Trading Post is another card store in Giddings, about 2.2 miles away. For sports cards, Kenny's Collectibles Sports Card Show runs about 54 miles out, with upcoming dates on November 14 and December 12, 2026.
