Nagoya Card Shops

I don't have the name or addresses of card shops in Nagoya, but you can card BBM and other brand boxes and packs at most major department stores' toy sections and Circle K type convenience stores.

Also look for Calbees and other food related card inserts in grocery stores.

Kiyoshi-san:

Thank you but I would be looking for cards not from the present era - that is why I asked for shops. I thank you for your response!

Does anyone have info for Nagoya, or is there a Nagoya phone book on line (English or Japanese)?

I hope this can help. I returned to Australia after a week in Tokyo just 3 weeks ago (my first trip to Japan, saw the May 11 game at Tokyo Dome - Giants vs Tigers, excellent game. 7-6 to the Tigers. Even bought a cheap replica jersey of Giants' right fielder #24 Shidonobu Takahashi from the Giants' shop inside the Dome), and I'm desperate to buy some more cards now.

I found a web site for a chain of 3 stores called "Card Fanatic," who has stores in Shibuya, Yokohama, and, lo-and-behold, Nagoya. [Link - CardFanatic.co.jp] Their e-mail would be nagoya at cardfanatic d0t co d0t jp. I've just sent the three stores an e-mail in broken Japanese (I had to go to a book store, and jot key phrases down) hoping someone at one of the three stores knows English so I can buy some boxes of BBM and other stuff off them.

Otherwise, there are a few US-based shops that sell them, but the mark-up can be a bit expensive (about 30-50% from what I've seen).

Best of luck with your search!
