about us - the largest Trading Cards store in switzerland

The Uncommon Shop was born as an idea in the fall of 2018. The original plan was to “only” launch an online store for the oldest Trading Cards game, Magic: The Gathering. Over time, more and more games were added: From Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! to newer games such as Digimon and Dragonball.

It all began in the original apartment of the founder, Pascal Stalder. Due to a lack of space, the “warehouse” continued to develop. Less than two years passed from the garage business to the first small store with additional storage space in Romanshorn at Bahnhofstrasse 4.

Current store:

At the beginning of 2021, we were able to move to our current address, Bahnhofstrasse 16 in 8590 Romanshorn! With a large storefront on the main street and an even larger warehouse in the back, the Uncommon Shop is now the largest online TCG store in Switzerland. No other store offers such a large selection of games and accessories as we do!

A unique selling point of the Uncommon Shop is the fact that every order is delivered to you, the customer, by 16:00 the next day at the latest (excluding weekends and public holidays)! For more about shipping see here.

Since 2024, we have moved the physical store from Bahnhofstrasse 16 to Aleestrasse 25, as we can now offer much more space. Where the store used to be is now our office and vice versa. See locations & opening hours for more.

After the renovation, we can currently accommodate up to 66 people, which is a blessing for parallel tournaments and events. Since November 2024, the Uncommon Shop has also been at home in Schaffhausen. A cute little store with lots of charm that knows how to inspire with little. See here.

Since 2025, we’ve been going full throttle when it comes to Twitch streaming and are live for you every Friday at 19:00. Come by and take a look, secure your deals and become part of our streaming community!

Who knows what the future holds, we are definitely looking forward to it!
