Chef & Dad Lugia & Gengar

Without Chef there would be no Keystone League — he's our resident Pokémon Professor. And Vince Sr.? Without his spirit and support, none of this exists.

Hi!  I'm Vince.  I started RetreatCost.com because I love Pokemon, and wanted to build a one-stop-shop for everything related to the Pokemon Trading Card Game.  

So a bit about me

I've been building websites since I was 12!  Since 2006 I've run an online store with my dad.  Every week TBolt USA has has hundreds of satisfied dirt bikers come through our electronic doors.  I'm applying everything I learned building TBolt to the Pokemon World!

I'm well versed in PHP, MySQL, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, HTML, CSS, jQuery, Bootstrap, eCommerce, SEO, SEM and a ton of stuff I'm surely forgetting.

I also love riding motocross!

A bit about RetreatCost.com

I purchased the domain back in 2008, and originally tried setting up a small online store to sell doubles, cards that I had more than a few of.  That never took off, so after a few months I shelved the domain name, and put the idea on hold.  In late 2014, I decided to try to tackle the idea again.  I built this online store, got serious about sourcing products, and spent hundreds of hours trying to make sure everything looks, works, and is priced right.  If there's anything Pokemon TCG related you want, but can't find on RetreatCost.com, let me know.  I'm constantly trying to add more products.

We're located in a commercial warehouse in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, have a small storefront, and ship with USPS Priority and FedEx Ground and Express.

If you have any questions before you place your order, call me!  Our main business line is (267) 635-0151.  My extension is 201, and my personal cell is 760-306-2200.


If you prefer email, I'm all for it.  Drop me a line at vince@retreatcost.com!

Sincerely,

Vince
