One of the cleanest and most knowledgeable shops in Houston HANDS DOWN! I have been to every shop in Houston and nothing beats the staff at Gem Mint!
There is room for everyone to sit and chill! Everything is so clean and neat. Their Google reviews are outstanding so I had to see it for myself. 10/10 would recommend to any serious collector for Pokémon and sports!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Taimyshoe N.Houston, TX29179Aug 2, 2023

I honestly went in to this shop with super high expectations after hearing great things about them only to be let down. Upon walking in to the shop there are many sport and Pokémon cards to view. After viewing a few there were many that I would consider not gem mint and the prices were priced higher than what the card condition warranted. The guy working didn't speak to us either and was on his phone the entire time as if he was uninterested we were there. When I go to a card shop I go for the experience and to build a relationship within the card collecting community, that's not what we received here. Maybe there was an underlying issue going on but I unfortunately won't be back as I plan to visit other shops within the community that have competitive pricing and overall better customer service!

Wonderful place, worth the travel and friendly staff. The place is a Pokemon and sport card collector paradise. The layout of the store and combination of both retail and unique cards is impressive. This is a place for sure to find the retail purchases a card collector wants but also really crazy finds for stuff you can't normally find. We actually were helped by one of the owners, Tommy, and he took time to speak with us and look at what we had brought to trade.
Not another place I have found that is so specialized and along with the cool staff, we will be sure to visit this store going forward and highly recommend checking them out.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Ryan W.Denver, CO2424Dec 22, 2022

Low ballers and cheap cheap stingy owners and employees, I brought in a $1500-2000 for a 10/10 grade Kobe Bryant vintage card with stupid cool graphics, and Kobe had a Afro, Adidas's, and wearing the #8 so if you know anything about basketball cards that was a young Kobe in the beginning of his long prime and after his death his memorabilia has gone thru the roof. It was obviously in a 8-9 out of 10 grading and they just go off the "last sold" prices which isn't accurate to give a offer...and they are a card store so they get there stuff graded for free but he acted like he would actually have to spend 150-200 dollars to get it graded and offered me $270 when they could easily have me 500-750 and STILL turned a easy $500-600 profit. These people are con artist and take advantage of kids that don't know the business or what they have. Very slimy grimy vibe in that store and everything Is way over priced and have no idea why when there location is in a shopping strip on highway 6 and W airport close to Alief lol they act like they are paying $4,500 for rent on a store front in Midtown, Montrose, River Oaks, Uptown Galleria, or the Heights area lol smh

Support this local gem!! Easily the best shop in in the Houston area. The interior of the shop is clean and contemporary which gives it a sleek look. There's no other shop like this and that's one of the reasons why I would highly recommend them over the other card shops I have shopped at before. They have a wide selection of raw cards, graded cards, and sealed product to choose from. Their service is top notch, professional, and friendly. They take good care of their customers and go above and beyond to make sure we are happy and satisfied. They are also exceptionally fair with their pricing. If you're looking to get into cards or to expand your collection, give Gem Mint Cardhouse a visit, you'll be glad you did! They also provide grading services. You can't go wrong dealing here!
