What to look for

Vintage Pokémon handled carefully

Early sets in sleeves and holders, and honesty about condition. Older Pokémon has a serious counterfeit problem, so a shop should be willing to talk about how it authenticates.

A singles case or binder, not just sealed

Sealed-only shops are retail. Singles are where a shop demonstrates it understands the market and where players and set collectors are served.

The rest is on the pokémon page, along with the questions worth asking before you hand over a collection.

How to find a card shop worth the drive
Most people pick a card shop by distance. Distance is the least useful thing about a shop. Here is what to check instead.
Buying sealed vs singles: which one actually gets you what you want
Opening packs and acquiring cards are two different hobbies that happen to use the same product. Knowing which one you are doing saves a lot of money.
Card grading explained: PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC compared
Grading is a third party's opinion of condition, sealed in plastic. Which third party you pick changes what the card sells for — sometimes by a multiple.
