If you’re a card collector or trading card game fan in Vancouver, you’ve probably thought how amazing it would be to have a dedicated space to nurture your hobby and meet like-minded card enthusiasts along the way.
Enter UBECARD, a sprawling 4,000-square-foot haven that’s revolutionizing the card trading and collecting experience. Housed in a former CIBC bank—complete with two vaults—UBECARD Hobby is more than just a store; it's a community hub where collectors, players and casual enthusiasts can buy, trade and immerse themselves in the world of collectible cards, whether it be sports cards, Pokémon or a variety TCGs.
Sports cards
For sports card enthusiasts, UBECARD is a game-changer. Whether you're into baseball, basketball, football or hockey, this is the place to find everything from vintage classics to limited-edition gems. UBECARD’s carefully curated selection offers rare, graded, and special-edition cards that cater to serious collectors looking to invest or relive the glory days of their favorite teams and players.
Ube Cards is also a space for collectors to connect. Regular trade nights, themed meetups, and themed events provide opportunities to share stories, make trades, and meet others who share your passion. The knowledgeable staff, all hobbyists themselves, are ready to help with card appraisals or offer advice on vintage finds. Plus, interactive features like a basketball arcade machine and LED displays create a fun, sports-themed atmosphere that is just as fun as attending a real game.
Pokémon, Magic The Gathering, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh TCG
Whether you’re a nostalgic collector hunting for a rare holographic Charizard, or a competitive player seeking the perfect deck for your next Magic The Gathering Draft or Commander tournament, UBECARD is a TCG paradise.
They have something for every collector, from booster packs and starter decks to rare singles—you'll even catch new set releases here first. Beyond the shelves, the store comes alive with regular tournaments, trade nights, and themed events, offering a welcoming space for both beginners and seasoned players to connect and compete.
Looking for a unique spot for a birthday party or private event? UBECARD delivers. Plus, with a family-friendly atmosphere and a staff eager to help young collectors learn card values and gameplay, it’s the perfect place to dive into the world of Pokémon and other TCGs. They even have digital touchscreens to check card values and research decks.
The card shop we’ve needed
What truly sets UBECARD’s apart is their commitment to creating an immersive and interactive experience. The former bank layout gives the store a unique vibe, but it's the extras that make it special; features like claw machines and arcade games add a playful touch to your visit, multiple flat-screen TVs are perfect for watching sports highlights or live-streaming card events, and last but not least, their loyalty program (UBE POINTS) is how you can earn points for every purchase and enjoy discounts or exclusive access to rare items.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, when many third spaces struggled or shuttered, the resurgence of card collecting brought people together. That’s why UBECARD is about more than selling cards, it’s about fostering community.
So, whether you’re a seasoned sports card collector, a dedicated TCG player, or just looking for a fun and welcoming place to explore a new hobby, UBECARD is the place to be.
