The Hype is Real: New Sets Are Almost Here
Cardboard warriors, spell-slingers, treasure hunters, and pack-rippers — the cardboard cosmos is rumbling, and we’ve got fresh releases coming your way like Warhammer and coming soon ONE PIECE!
First up, Magic: The Gathering is delivering the next chapter in epic fashion with "Final Fantasy" dropping next month — this is not your grandma's Core Set. This one is jam-packed with nostalgic callbacks, busted reprints, and meta-shaking mechanics that will have even the most seasoned commander veterans reevaluating their deck lists.
Not to be outdone, Pokémon is gearing up to release "White Flare and Black Bolt", a set with chef's kiss vibes for collectors and battlers alike. Think new trainer gallery cards, alt arts that scream binder flex, and enough foil to make your sleeves sweat.
Keep an eye out for our prerelease events and release day tournaments. Whether you’re swinging swords, casting spells, or evolving into a full-time PokéProfessor, we’ve got a seat at the table for you.

New Video Content: Behind the Packs
We're stepping up our content game like a top-decked board wipe. Our team is currently filming a new YouTube series spotlighting real customers, trade-ins, pack battles, and behind-the-scenes action of what goes into running a game store. This means you might just be the star of the show the next time you stop in.
Future content includes:

• "Ask the TRC Crew" Q&A (send us your burning cardboard questions!)

• Deck Techs and Recs with our local legends

• Top 10 Weekly Singles Sales

• PSA Grading Prep 101 (because knowledge is power, and mint is king)

So hit that subscribe button, ring the bell, or summon a pigeon — just don’t miss it.

Around the Shop: Small Projects, Big Changes
We believe a cleaner shop makes for a cleaner top-deck (ok, maybe not scientifically proven... yet). But we’re hustling every day behind the counter and on the floor to improve your experience:

• Reorganizing bulk bins for easier sorting and treasure hunting

• Repricing and rotating singles inventory weekly

• Enhancing display cases with new lighting and layout

• Creating "New Collector Starter Kits" for beginners (includes a starter deck, sleeves, binder, and pro tips from the team)

Store Goals: Vision for Victory
We’re not just slinging cards—we’re building something greater. Some of our 2025 goals include:

• Launching an in-house Card Collecting Workshop Series

• Expanding our online sales via TCG Player and Other retailers

• Building a Discord community to better connect with locals and out-of-towners alike

• Improving searchable inventory by set and rarity online

• And most importantly — we want to continue being your go-to spot for quality, honesty, and community-first gaming.

PSA Grading: Protect What’s Precious
Ever pulled a card so shiny it blinded you under the ceiling light? We’ve all been there. Don’t let that gem sit raw in a shoebox. We offer PSA grading services to get your cards authenticated, slabbed, and ready for show (or resale).
Here’s how it works:

• $20 TRC service fee per order (covers paperwork, inspection, packaging)

• PSA's grading fee per card (varies by card value and tier — ask us for a quote!)

• Shipping to and from PSA is calculated based on total package weight and value

We consolidate orders to save you money and ensure safe, secure transit. And if you’re unsure whether a card is worth grading? Bring it in — we’ll give you a no-nonsense, honest recommendation.

Community First, Cards Second (Just Kidding, It’s Cards First)
Let’s be real — without all of you, we’d just be a few nerds talking to ourselves about alternate win-cons and foils curling in humid air. Every time you stop in, every time you tell a friend about us, every time you buy a booster or bring in your binder — you’re helping build this dream.
We’re working daily to:

• Teach new collectors the ropes (from penny sleeves to play mats)

• Offer competitive prices on singles and sealed

• Make trading, grading, and game night FUN

What’s Coming Up Next?
Mark your calendars! Here's a quick peek at what’s happening at Two Rivers Cards in the next few weeks:

Weekly Events

• Friday Night Commander – Casual, community-driven fun. No pressure, no power creep (unless you bring Craterhoof. Then it’s war).

• Saturday Game Nights – Formats vary, but fun is always guaranteed. Starts at 5 PM, so get in early to grab your favorite table.

• Monthly Tournaments – Prizes, promos, and glory await. Entry fees vary. Dates announced on our Facebook page.

Special Releases

Community Events

Why Crystal Commerce Is Changing the Game
If you haven’t checked out our online store yet… what are you doing? We’ve integrated with TCG Player, Card Trader, PSA, EBAY, Price Charting, Mana Pool and Heavily Played and that means you can now:

• Search by set, card name, rarity, or foil status

• See real-time inventory updates

• Purchase singles, sealed product, sleeves, binders, and more — from your couch

• Sell your cards to us directly through our buylist system (which should really be called the sell list)

• Track what’s in stock before you make the drive

Our goal is to keep your online experience as satisfying as your in-store one. So if you’re out of town, stuck in traffic, or just feel like browsing in your pajamas (no judgment), you’re covered.

For New Collectors: Yes, This Hobby Can Be Confusing
Starting out? We got you. The world of card collecting can be overwhelming at first. Sets, rarities, grading, sleeves, prices — it's a lot to process. That’s why we make it our mission to walk you through it step-by-step.

When you walk into Two Rivers Cards:

• We won’t talk down to you. (Unless you bring in the Junk Era and ask us to purchase it. Don’t do it.)

• We’ll explain terms like “EDH” and “PSA 10” in plain English.

• We’ll give you advice that’s honest — not just aimed at upselling.

We're more than a store — we're a community.

At Two Rivers Cards, our passion for trading cards goes beyond just selling the latest Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon sets. We aim to create a welcoming space where enthusiasts can connect, learn, and thrive.
