The Upkeep Games - Ann Arbor

I always have such a good time coming to check out their selection of stuff for mtg. I'm still very new and they are super informative and help me along the way with what I have in mind. Also such a good selection of individual cards, packs, sleeves, cases, and just about anything you would need. I ... Read more

Be careful making purchases here. Placed an online order for a card that was listed as “near mint” and after I had purchased the card and pulled it out of the sleeve, I noticed that there was wear on the top of the card and a speck of small debris attached to it. After bringing this to the attention of the staff, they took the card in search for another one. Clearly the card was not “near mint.” After a short period of time. A sloppily dressed heavyset male with a neck beard came out from the back room and said “This card is near mint; That Magic cards come out of the packs that way.” Which I know for a fact, they don’t because I’ve never opened a pack in my 20+ years of playing magic where a chocolate-like debris had been adhered to a card. He then laughed and said “You’re doing this for a dollar?” to which I replied “I’m bringing this up because the card is not near mint.” I was then asked if i had a gift card to put the dollar on and fortunately I had one because I have done plenty of business at this location. Long story short, they do not inspect cards thoroughly. They make purchases off of people at a lightly played value and resell them for Near Mint. It is obvious from this interaction that they do not care to correct their mistakes, and that they hire staff that will insult you for pointing those mistakes out directly to them. Shady cast of people that work here. **Moreover Edit** The only reason I’m not giving a 1 star review is because I have done a lot of business at this location over the course of the last 2 years. The card selection is pretty good and the community that plays here is also pretty good. They do giveaways and can be extremely helpful when brainstorming deck ideas. It’s just rather unfortunate that they would list a near mint card at $42 when it’s market value is $39, and then give a dollar back to store credit when the card was blatantly not near mint at all.

Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t even bother going here. After explaining that their listed price for PSA 10 Glaceon and Sylveon VMax are incorrect, their employee and I got it sorted out to $950 in value for the 2 cards. $440 for glaceon and $550 for Sylveon at the time of day (check images for comps)...

Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t even bother going here. After explaining that their listed price for PSA 10 Glaceon and Sylveon VMax are incorrect, their employee and I got it sorted out to $950 in value for the 2 cards. $440 for glaceon and $550 for Sylveon at the time of day (check images for comps) Proceeded to confirm with the manager if that’s the case but lo and behold I get hit with the counter offer of $1200 for both the cards. Glaceon at $550 and Sylveon at $650. The glaceon and Sylveon were $200 more in their eyes for some reason. Never have I been to a more money hungry card shop, 120% would recommend Stadium over these pathetic prices if you’re in the Ann Arbor area. In general the Macomb/Sterling Heights area have a lot friendlier of card shops and I’d recommend GreenLight Cards or even Hyped. Much more transparent and are willing to work with ya most of the time as well. Take a look at the images as well, you can clearly see that they have it listed for a ridiculous price and how the recently sold looks. Best part was even their employee knew that the offer was ridiculous, he tried explaining it to their “manager” but I guess that guy wasn’t willing to work out a deal for the long term relationship. They more focused on that extra $200. Even if I was paying market at $950 or $1000, that would make sense and it’s still in favor for the store. Overall, just very disappointing to see that a lot of the lower star reviews this place has are validated and true. I’ve been to over 30 Pokémon shops all over Michigan in the last 6-9 months and this place just doesn’t cut it and is very unlikely to receive my business in the future moving forward. Best of luck to you guys! **Moreover Edit** The only reason I’m not giving a 1 star review is because the card selection is pretty good and the community that plays here is also pretty good. They do giveaways and are successful for obvious reasons. It’s just not what I expected when trying to work out a $1000 deal with them. There are definitely better vendors and stores who will work a lot better with you as a buyer. Show less

Lowkey my fault but I went in this place a couple months ago with my childhood Pokemon collection. I heard this place was a good place to go to sell your collection. I gave them my binder and waited nearly a hour for someone to come back which is no issue at all since there were a lot of cards. There was a bunch of “hit cards” like the mega white gengar and umbreon ex from flash fire. These ppl gave me 100$ and said the cards are not best condition. I give in and sell my cards as I’m not a collector anymore for Pokemon. I come in the store next week and the gengar alone is 250$. When I sold like 20 cards all worth 30$ a piece or more. This place will take advantage of you if they can. they only have rude staff that barley know there own gender. Show less

I have been going to this game store for a long time now. I have bought a few cards from their showcase since I rarely buy sealed box's or pack's for trading card games. I mostly buy online and I am happy to say their prices are reasonable. Today I went to the game store to play some Warhammer with my friend and though they did not have enough tablespace in the normal play area due to an event they were able to setup a folding table elsewhere in the store for us. I also managed to buy some good condition used models for very good prices. They are put together already (hence being used) and were much less than buying new. One had been snapped off of its base since its a model that is supposed to be elevated off of it, and the person selling it to me made sure to let me know before buying. This is no problem to remove with a small hand crank drill that I already have at home. Show less
