Games at this shop
Below are the trading card games we've identified as supported at this shop, each with context about how that game plays and what to look for when you visit.
We haven't yet verified the specific trading card games stocked at #1Gameday. Most general-purpose game and hobby shops in the US carry at least one of the major three — Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, and Yu-Gi-Oh! — plus a rotating selection of whichever newer TCGs have local community traction (Disney Lorcana and One Piece TCG are the most commonly-added in 2026).
If you're planning a visit, call #1Gameday directly to confirm current inventory. A 30-second call saves the trip if the shop doesn't carry what you're looking for. Ask specifically about:
- Sealed product: booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, starter decks, prerelease kits for the current set release window.
- Singles: individually-priced cards sold by set or by Standard/Commander archetype — the fastest way to finish a deck.
- Event schedule: weekly Friday Night Magic, Pokémon League, Yu-Gi-Oh! Locals, or whatever formats are currently running.
- Buylist / trade-in rates: whether the shop buys cards, in what condition, and at what percentage of market value for cash vs. store credit.
Local context
#1Gameday has a smaller review footprint (41 reviews) — typical for a neighborhood shop that serves regulars more than tourists. Walk-ins will find a quieter, less crowded experience than the city's largest shops.
#1Gameday occupies a storefront at 191 7th St E. Street-level independent shops like this often develop tighter community relationships than chain-plaza counterparts — a signal to look for if you want an LGS that knows its players.
Hours run earlier here than at late-night shops — plan weekend afternoon visits for the easiest time to catch open tables and staff attention.
Plan a visit with confidence — the community vetting here is strong. Bring a deck, ask about upcoming events, and expect to leave having met at least one person you might play with again.

You can reach the shop by phone at (651) 315-2263. For questions about event schedules, inventory availability, or grading services, a quick call usually gets the most accurate answer.
Selling through a local shop usually requires an appraisal appointment. #1Gameday likely accepts both cash payouts and store-credit offers, with credit weighted higher. Large collections warrant a scheduled visit; bulk commons are typically weight-priced per pound.
PSA and CGC both allow bulk-submission partnerships with retail shops. If #1Gameday participates, you can skip the mail-in paperwork entirely — drop cards off, pay the fee, and pick up graded slabs 6-12 weeks later.
Most card shops dedicate 40-60% of floor space to play tables. #1Gameday likely follows this pattern. Call ahead if you're planning a multi-person event — large groups sometimes need advance reservations.
Family-friendliness is the norm at TCG stores. Pokémon League keeps the environment kid-appropriate, and Junior-division events separate younger competitors for fair matchups.
