    Why Top Loaded

    01 / Local

    A real shop, not a warehouse

    Independent and Northern Kentucky–owned. The people pricing your buylist are the same ones ripping packs on stream and resetting tables after locals.

    02 / Official

    Bandai official store

    One Piece and Gundam events here run with official Bandai support — winner packs if you take it down, participation packs just for playing.

    03 / Fair

    Fair in both directions

    Singles priced against TCGplayer market, offers you're free to walk away from, and +10% on top whenever you take store credit instead of cash.

    FROM GOOGLE & TCGPLAYER

    Word around the tables

    Good to know

    How do I buy a card I see here?

    The Shop shows our inventory; discovery and the free simulator also show cards we do not stock. Look for In Stock Now, then open the listing to check condition and availability. Physical purchases are separate from the simulator. Local? Call (513) 222-2573 to ask about pickup.

    How do you grade card condition?

    Check each listing's condition: NM (near mint), LP (lightly played), MP (moderately played), HP (heavily played), or DMG (damaged). Have a question about a card or an order? Email toploadedtcg@gmail.com.

    Can you hold a card for me?

    Call (513) 222-2573 during opening hours to check availability and ask about a hold before heading over.

    How does selling a collection work?

    Bring your cards to the shop during opening hours for an in-person offer, or use Get a Quote to send collection details and photo links ahead of your visit. The shop reviews requests personally; there is no automatic price estimator. Final offers depend on seeing the cards and their condition.

    What's the store credit bonus?

    Take any buylist or trade offer as store credit instead of cash and we add 10% on top. Credit is tracked on your account at the register — just give your name or phone number at the counter.

    When and where is the card show?

    The first Saturday or Sunday of every month, 10 AM to 4 PM at the Hilton Cincinnati Airport, 7373 Turfway Rd, Florence, KY. Admission is free; vendors set up from 8 AM.

        Get a Quote

        Send the shop a little about your cards, quantities and condition, with photo links if you have them. This helps us prepare and reduce processing time when you come in. The shop reviews each request personally; there is no automated estimator. Any preliminary quote is subject to seeing the cards in person.

        Up to five HTTPS links, one per line. Share only your card photos, not IDs or payment details. Give the shop permission to view your album. Links are not loaded or previewed here.

        Prepare your quote request to email the shop. You can attach JPG, PNG or WebP photos in your email app before sending.

        Let's see it in person

        Bring your collection
        to the shop.

        Coming in is the best way to get an offer. Final pricing and offers are confirmed in store, after we've seen the cards. Planning a large buyout? Send a quote request above so we can review what you have ahead of your visit.

        1. Pack it up. Keep cards protected; sorting by game helps us look through them.
        2. Stop in during shop hours. For a large collection, call ahead so we can plan enough time.
        3. Review your offer. Choose cash or store credit, or take your cards home. No obligation.

          Your corner of the card shop

          My account

          Your details, your collection, your connections. Everything in its place.

          Your information, your choice

          Account privacy

          How Top Loaded Trading Cards uses information in My account and at the counter.

          Notice version: October 14, 2026. This notice covers customer sign-in, optional contact and player profiles, saved cards, event registrations, shop email preferences and Google reviews. Online store credit is coming soon.

          What we collect and why

          We use your email to send sign-in codes and identify your account. You may save your name, phone number and address to help staff find you, contact you about shop services, and assist with fulfillment. These contact fields are optional. They do not update an existing order, a payment provider or your TCGplayer account.

          Staff maintain a separate credit ledger containing customer details and transaction history. A phone number is not proof of identity. Saving one does not link credit or give access to another person's balance. Your phone number is not verified by this website.

          No sale of your information

          We do not sell your personal information or share it with third parties for their advertising. Saving a profile does not subscribe you to marketing emails, calls or texts.

          Event registration

          You may optionally save your Bandai TCG+ display name, Bandai player ID and Pokémon Player ID in My account. These private defaults prefill matching registration fields on this site when you are signed in. You can review or change them before submitting. We do not connect to your Bandai or Pokémon account, verify ownership of these IDs, or send them to those services automatically. Saving an ID does not reserve a seat or grant account access. Submitted player details are available to authorized shop staff for registration and check-in.

          When you register for a one-off event, we save the player's name, Bandai or Pokémon player ID, your verified account email, the event and entry price, registration status and payment references. Administrators use these records for duplicate checks, check-in, customer service and transaction history. Player IDs and the roster are not public. Entering a player ID does not verify ownership with Bandai or Pokémon or register you in their separate systems.

          Square handles the hosted payment page and receives your account email and event purchase details. This website does not collect your payment-card number. We send necessary registration confirmations through Resend; these service emails are separate from marketing preferences. Cancelling an unpaid reservation or removing your optional contact profile does not erase transaction records. Contact the shop about refunds, corrections or records held for event administration.

          Saved cards and email updates

          As disclosed under the sign-up buttons, new accounts are subscribed to shop news and all nine game newsletters, stock-drop emails and wanted-card alerts. You can turn off any or all topics in My account, or unsubscribe from promotional emails. Returning accounts keep their saved choices; signing in does not reverse an unsubscribe. Newsletter choices never saved before may start selected in My account; confirm and save those choices to subscribe. These choices are separate from service emails. We save your choices, notice version, account wishlist and wanted-card list in the shop database. Administrators can review these lists and send relevant updates through Resend. Text alerts are not active; saving your phone does not authorize promotional texts.

          Uncheck all email topics and save to unsubscribe, or use the unsubscribe link in a promotional email without signing in. Sign-in codes and necessary service messages are unaffected. Clear your wanted-card list and save to remove those requests. To clear your account wishlist, empty the browser wishlist, choose “Use this browser's wishlist,” then save. Contact the shop for help removing other records.

          Who can access it

          You may sign in with Google instead of an emailed code, or explicitly link Google to your existing account. We request only basic sign-in permissions: your name, email and profile. We retain your Google account identifier and verified Google email to recognize that sign-in; changing your Google email does not change your store email. Removing Google sign-in in My account removes that mapping, but does not delete your store account, end an existing store session or disconnect a previous YouTube connection. Email sign-in must be available before removing that method. New accounts use the email subscription policy above. A short-lived secure cookie protects the Google redirect; temporary encrypted authorization requests expire after 10 minutes and are removed during routine cleanup.

          Google may provide your name to fill an empty name field for review. We do not request your Google phone number, address or address book. You can type optional contact details or choose your browser's saved autofill information. These fields are sent to the shop when you choose Save contact details after accepting the profile notice. Existing details are not overwritten automatically, and leaving optional fields empty does not prevent sign-in.

          The livestream uses YouTube's native video and chat embeds. YouTube handles its own sign-in and may receive browser information such as your IP address and use cookies under its own policies; your store login does not sign you into YouTube. Google store sign-in does not request YouTube permissions or create a channel connection. If you previously linked a channel through our custom chat, its channel ID, name and encrypted credentials are retained for up to 30 days, subject to earlier removal. My account offers removal of that previous connection and requests Google revocation. If revocation fails, or to manage any earlier permissions, use Google account connections. Removal does not delete previously posted public messages. See Google's privacy policy and YouTube's terms.

          Site chat is public and separate from social-platform chats. Only your chosen nickname, a short account identifier and message appear publicly; your email, phone and address are not included. Use a nickname, not contact details. Chat messages expire from public view after 24 hours and are removed during routine cleanup; the feed retains at most 200 messages. Staff can remove messages or temporarily mute accounts to prevent abuse.

          You can view and edit your own contact profile after verified account sign-in. Authorized staff can search customer contacts and view saved addresses for shop services. Cloudflare hosts the website, API and database; Resend delivers service emails; Google provides optional sign-in and YouTube authorization. These providers process information needed to provide their services. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect against fraud.

          Credit balances are changed only through authorized staff tools. Access controls and encrypted connections help protect information, but no online service can promise absolute security. Never send passwords, payment card numbers, identity documents or sign-in codes in your profile.

          Your choices and removal

          Use “Remove saved player details” in My account, or clear individual fields and save, to remove optional player defaults. This does not change or erase previously submitted registrations, check-in information or payment records. Player defaults are stored in the shop database, not browser storage.

          In My account, you can correct or clear optional fields and save again, or choose “Remove my saved contact details” to remove the contact profile from the active database. This does not close your sign-in access or erase credit, order, quote or other business records. Copies may remain temporarily in provider backups.

          Contact the shop to request a copy, correction or deletion of other personal information. We will verify your identity first. Records needed for transactions, disputes, security or legal obligations may need to be retained. Optional profile details remain until you remove them or request removal.

          Browser storage and other services

          When automatic Google reviews are enabled, our server requests public review information from Google Maps Platform for this shop. We display review text, ratings and available author attribution with links to Google Maps. This request does not include your store account, email, phone or mailing address. Loading an author's image or following a Google link connects your browser to Google, which may receive information such as your IP address. Google's handling of that information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, incorporated here for those Google services. Our website terms describe the Google Maps terms and review selection.

          This site uses browser storage for sign-in sessions, cart items, preferences and saved cards. The contact form does not save your address or phone in browser storage. TCGplayer checkout and external platforms have their own privacy practices. Leaving this website does not transfer your saved contact profile to them.

          Children and changes

          Online contact profiles are for people aged 13 or older. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted a profile, contact us so we can address it. We will update the date on this notice when it changes.

          Contact Top Loaded

          For privacy questions or requests, contact the shop or visit 2514 Hazelwood Drive, Crescent Springs, KY 41017. Please do not include sensitive information in your initial message.
