Easy to deal with - prices are fair. Best selection you can find.Reviews that are complaining expect the store to basically not make a profit - it doesn’t make sense.Thank you full grip games for making it easy to find and buy Pokémon cards.

They re-sealed shining fates packs with an iron to heat it together. The tamper proof ripples were smooth. They shouldnt be smooth. Also pack opened up just by me blowing into it. I was supporting mom and pop shops to not support the scalpers but guess I was wrong, you are worse than a scalper. Makes sense why they had that July sale for shining fates. I bought the ETB and even the plastic looked tamper proof.

I recently bought 4 Pikachu V boxes from their website and the packs are blatantly resealed in my opinion, have yet to open the packs but it’s pretty disgusting. Every pack is ripped and has a huge amount of glue like they didn’t even bother to try and hide it. I’m guessing this is why they’re able to sell so cheap for this 4th of july sale

I cannot speak highly enough about their staff. I placed an online order with fullgripgames.com and mistakenly put in the wrong shipping address. Natalie work with me over the course of the month while we waited for the package to be returned to sender and went above and beyond anything Ive ever experienced in the customer service industry to ensure that once the products were received my order was shipped out to my corrected address as soon as possible.If I could rate this 10 out of 5 I absolutely would. The cards I purchased were priced very competitively and came in exceptional condition and packaging.

Woo there’s a rental program and it’s a pretty fun idea. Good game store and glad there’s one in Akron. Friendly person helped and was a good small talk.

What a great store and the staff is awesome!! I went in looking for Pokémon cards for my sons birthday not having a clue what I was looking for and they helped walk me through what I was looking at and pick cards out. The cards they help me decide on where the hit of the party! Thanks guys!

Any time I have ever shopped from Full Grip Games, it has been a pleasure. Friendly customer service, timely shipping, and a great selection. Everything has always arrived safely and securely. They know how to take care of their patrons. #1 spot to shop.

Used to be the best place to go for Pokémon. Now they are the worst! Charging $350 for a Celebrations UPC on release day is like Best Buy selling PS5 on launch day for $1,500! Quit charging scalper prices! Save yourself double or triple by shopping at target Walmart or GameStop and do not go to this scalpers store!

The store is super nice and well organized with a GREAT selection. The staff are kind and helpful and the online shop is incredible. All board game and card game fans should flock to this store for its incredible service, prices and products

Really nice place! Ive been here a few times already and will continue to go here. One of the best places for sealed Magic the Gathering in the area.

Review №13

Use to love this place but now their prices are ridiculous $100 for a celebrations etb when other local game shops are changing $55. They just sell at scalpers prices even though the pokemon market has gone down. Even with singles the charge dubble then what other lgs do. I will still sell my bulk here but thats about it.

Great card shop to buy from! Always great grades on the cards as far as how used the cards are. Shipped quickly. Great prices compared to other shops. I will always chose FGG over another shop if I have the choice! Thanks for the great service!! Can’t go wrong with FGG!

Traded in Pokemon bulk for a booster box through FGG and the whole process was smooth and easy! Will definitely go to them for future trade-ins, and hopefully will get to visit the shop in person someday.

Review №19

No exaggeration, the store straight up smelled like armpit and a hint of despair. The nerds behind the counter acted almost scared to even interact with a customer like oh my God its a real human being 🤦🏼‍♂️Brah when theh actually did, they were rude. Like, openly. And their games are overpriced anyway.

Fair prices on both buying/selling Pokémon cards. Really fun online community and staff. Would recommend their products and services to anyone in the trading card game sphere. Also they are fellow supporters of Tricky Gym

Review №21

Located across the street from the haven of rest, so junkies and the Akron homeless population is more condensed to this area of downtown. The store shares the same building with a Dance Club, Tattoo Parlor, MMA Gym, Akron Pregnancy services, and a Gyro shop, which adds to the odd mixture of culture to the area.The store itself had a very select collection of what they had available. A large majority of the small card selections they had in stock were marked on the highest end of the market. Their inventory is mostly: D&D supplies, Board Games, and Playing card protection (mats, sleeves, and books). The staff watching from behind the small card counter did not interact with me and made me feel like I was not welcome to browse through their collections.

Review №26

Full Grip is the best place for your trading card/gaming needs and its not even close. Prices are fair and reasonable. Stock is healthy and the wishlist is great for catching products as they come out. Shipping is as fast as you can expect in a pandemic. But by far the biggest draw of Full Grip is the staff and customer service. Employees are friendly, very knowledgeable about their products, and will quickly work to resolve any issues with your order. I dont even bother checking other places, Full Grip has my back every time.

Absolutely the BEST shop for Pokemon needs I can think of. Their prices are fair and even if they are high, the shipping and customer service is INTERSTELLAR!!! Whether I need the newest set or cards from 10 years ago, FGG always delivers!

I have been a MTG player for many years, but kind of fell out of it. A buddy and I decided to hit up the Tuesday night draft tournament to get back into the swing of things. The staff was very helpful getting us signed back up and the other player were very tolerant of our slow nature while drafting. If you enjoy a fun and relaxed card tournament, this is the place for you. Side note, the amount of board games available here blew my mind! Fun place!

I ordered about 50 cards from Full Grip Games, expecting them to take a little while to process the order and get it shipped. I got a notification next day that my order was out (due 5 days away) and it arrived 2 days early. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing tcg storeIf you love mtg they have so much to choose from including all the accessories you could want! Me and the lady go there for mtg stuff and bring the kiddo for his pokemon stuff. Its a win/win. Definitely check this place out if youre in the area! Worth it!

If you are looking for magic singles that are out of standard rotation go somewhere else. You wont find much here.I suggest freedom hobbies and games in canton for singles.However this is a decent place to shop if your looking to play in standard. They have some cool board games there and the staff have never been rude. Also this is a great place for tournaments. The store has recently expanded so thats a plus. Also the people that play there are typically pretty cool and friendly as well. All in all this is a great gaming store.

Great online shop, the code site is also great. Fullgripcodes.com for instant delivery cause trying to buy off ebay sucked if the seller didnt have a program setup for it. Super fast shipping and they responded to my emails quick as well. Would absolutely buy from again.

Purchased 4 vivid voltage prerelease kits. After opening them all I noticed one of the promo packs were cut at the bottom. Almost all the cards had a cut in the bottom center that faded the further I went back. After emailing them about the situation even though they couldnt recieve the photos I sent they sent me a new one and I got to keep the old one. They sent it out immediately! Not only that but some how I got a second one the day after receiving the first one. I was honest and let them know but they just said keep it. Not many card shops would do this lets be honest. It wasnt their fault there was a cut in the promo pack yet they still replaced it. I will never go anywhere else for my cards. Not to mention the awesome break deals they have and how honest they are with the prices and market values. This is the place to go if you want excellent customer service, variety, and fair prices. Thanks again!

Very overpriced compared to online prices and even big box stores. Very poor customer service, and I’m pretty sure they weigh the opened booster boxes and take the heavy packs. Watch out. This is not the place you want to go. Very nice looking. Nice selection. But not ran correctly.

I’ve been buying from Full Grip Games for the past few months a lot via Full Grip Codes and also TCG singles and no one compares to their great and speedy customer service and fast response times. Always is a pleasure to work with the crew at FGG and I’m consistently pleased with the level of service from the staff. Thank you so much again!

Review №57

Insanely overpriced. Customer service is sub par. Will charge you double the market price because they dont consider single sale undercuts on TCGPlayer when pricing but they do follow the current market undercut when you sell to them. Good luck trying to get good trades!!

I order all of my pokemon product from Full Grip Games. They always ship my product hastily and is always in good condition. Additionally, the customer service at Full Grip Games is next level. Aaron may be the best card shop staff Ive ever had the pleasure of work with. Not only did he get my the cards i need, he helped me find my lost pet Salamander, Mandrew. Thank you Full Grip Games and Aaron for all that you do!

The people there are pretty rude. They have Pokémon cards and they endorse the one that looks like the Ku Klux Klan nighthawk who wears black. It is like I am being messed with and I am never coming back. Thanks to this, I will never buy Pokémon cards again or go to their store again.

Full-Grip is a top notch gaming store. Isles of games, with discount sections and more to browse. Owner is a gem, staff do what they can to help and chat about games. Website is serviceable for ordering ahead of time, and there can be things handled in store if you have any questions.

They are selling the newest set, Sword and Shield Vivid Voltage for 10 freaking dollars a pack! And I would highly suggest you never try to sell cards to at this store. They give you below the bottom dollar. Alter Reality Games in medina is the a great and fair place to go. They dont even look the cards up Im pretty sure they just make up the prices. The 2 men that work on the weekends will give you the lowest prices possible on your cards just an fyi if you do decide to try and sell there.

Place is nice dont get me wrong but the prices they rip you off charging more then what it really costs specially pokemon cards you are overcharging way to much. If you guys want a really great store to buy cards and board games and they do pre orders go to freedom and hobby its worth the drive abd dont over charge you.

Bought a booster box yesterday only for the price to be raised another $10. Obvious price for vivid voltage is 200 and darkness ablaze is 160. This store raises and lowers it prices on a whim. Might as well be facebook marketplace. Owner is greedy.

Review №86

Well its definitely a bored game store😪 and has a nice variety of old dusty games Ive never heard of🤓. I kinda got a vibe like if I went up to the cashier and said a secret code he could pull some strings and get me the real version of jumanji😅. I come here for pokemon & trading cards, but I can never stop myself from walking up & down the aisle to look👀. They have $1 candy & free activity books for the kiddos. But ok place for kids 6 & up. Theres mask wearing & social distancing😉.

Full Grip has a huge inventory at very reasonable prices. I typically purchase cards online for in store pick up. No matter how big the order, its always ready when I go in. Ive also sold a few cards to them. I was really pleased with how much they offered me.I dont play board games, but they have a MASSIVE selection. If youre looking for a board game of any genre, Im sure they have it. Id highly suggest checking out their website and store!
