BAM Cards - Goleta, California

Seller is rude - read their response, you will see that my review is accurate as a result of their choice to engage in name calling.

Buy at own risk. They sold this creased card as lightly played, and then when I returned it to them (had to get TCG in to make them allow that after they fought me on it) insisted it was absolutely fine and MY grading was the issue. Obviously not good people.

The owner has a major attitude problem, he can’t seem to just handle things calmly and fairly. He is one of those guys who just can’t take responsibility.

The guy keeps changing his response (I get an email telling me each time!) to look less unreasonable, so I attach a screenshot of his initial reply where he doesn’t acknowledge the error he insisted repeatedly wasn’t an error and calls me ‘unhinged’ for requesting an apology - name calling. If he denies this or edits his review again, I will post the TCG conversation in full.

Went for the Saturday draft 2 weekend in a row. Was a really well run store, can tell the owners really love magic. Players were very welcoming, seems like they have a lot of events. They also have webcam setup to stream a match at events which is pretty cool.

I started coming here in 2022. The owner is very helpful and the vibes in the store are immaculate. The tournaments are great, the stock of cards, supplies and TCG sets is varied, and there is a lot to do here.

I visited this store when I was in California recently and initially I was impressed by the store’s layout and products. However, I was completely unimpressed by the way that the owner interacted with younger clientele. I don’t think this is a safe space for children to be or play without direct supervision. Please consider taking your child somewhere else for Pokemon, Magic, Warhammer, or the like.

Might be my favorite card shop of all time, gave a 50$ discount on a crazy in-demand pokemon etb, customer service made me very happy! Definitely worth checking out!!!!

I wish I could visit this shop in person, but it's a pretty long drive (300 miles round trip from where I live). That said, the experience I had with their online shop on TCGplayer was excellent! They shipped the same day I ordered, and I received my order faster than any other store on the site! Cards were well packed in excellent condition!

amazing safe space brought my kids in and the owner was so nice he gave them each a free pack of Pokemon just to make them smile.

This place is amazing! If I could give higher than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Peak LGS for sure- great owners and great customers who are friendly/welcoming. Mack makes this store an instant favorite and worth the drive from Ventura for me and my friends that go to play.

Not only is there consistent days to go play MtG but Pokémon and Flesh&Blood has consistent days as well, which there are not many in this area. Highly recommend going to this store and supporting them so they can continue to grow and have a spot for players to come have fun or work towards getting better at the TCG’s they love to play.
