Ask the Barkeep — FAQ

Every traveler has questions. The Barkeep has answers.

Are your cards authentic?

Every card that crosses this counter is genuine — no proxies, no fakes, no cursed forgeries. We inspect everything before it reaches the shelves.

What condition are your singles in?

Unless noted otherwise in the listing, singles are Near Mint. If a card has seen battle, its scars are noted honestly in the description and shown in photos.

How do you ship cards?

Like the treasures they are: singles ride in penny sleeves and top loaders (or team bags for bulk), sealed product is bubble-wrapped and boxed. Orders ship from the United States.

Do you buy or trade cards?

The Tavern is always interested in fresh loot. Reach out through the contact page with what you've got — the Barkeep will make you an honest offer.

What are the 3D-printed figures?

Collectables and paintable miniatures forged in our own workshop — including pieces perfect for your Dungeons & Dragons table. Some come finished, some come primed and ready for your brush. Each listing tells you which.

Will there be a physical store?

Aye — that's the grand quest. A true tavern with gaming tables for Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound, Dungeons & Dragons, and tabletop games of every kind, plus a café with drinks and finger foods. Follow along on the Gather Round the Table page for news.
