ABOUT US
Pack & Play LI is a Long Island-based collectibles and gaming company built by collectors and gamers, for collectors and gamers.
What started with a shared love for trading cards and gaming grew into a business focused on the things we enjoy most: ripping packs, building collections, finding great products, and growing the communities surrounding them.
We buy, sell, rip, and ship Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Riftbound, Gundam, Lorcana, One Piece, and more, with inventory ranging from sealed products and booster packs to singles, collectibles, and video games.
You can find Pack & Play LI online, during our live streams, at shows, and events throughout Long Island.
Our goal is simple: Collect what you love. Play what you love. Have fun doing it. Pack it. Rip it. Play it.
