Meet Our Finalists!

Hobby Shop of the Year is an opportunity to celebrate the heart of our trading card game community: local game stores. These shops are more than just places to buy and sell; they play a pivotal role in creating a thriving, connected community of collectors, players, and enthusiasts. TCGplayer is proud to partner with these small businesses, helping them grow and supporting their local communities. 

Through Hobby Shop of the Year, we want to recognize and reward the shops that have gone above and beyond to support both their customers and our industry.
