During the lockdown period of the Coronavirus epidemic, all clubs are currently suspended

Scunthorpe Trading Card Club

This takes place every Wednesday at Scunthorpe Central in the new Activity room on the first floor from 4pm to 6.45pm. Bring your own deck whether it’s Yugioh, Magic The Gathering, or Cardfight Vanguard and play or trade with other card gaming fans.

We operate an official approved club running exclusive sanctioned events for Yugioh, Cardfight Vanguard and Pokemon. The Pokemon Club runs every Saturday.

Anyone under eight years of age must be accompanied by an adult at any of the library clubs.

See individual card game types for more information about planned events and activities.

We also offer a not for profit card ordering service with savings on the recommended retail price (RRP) to club members. We normally carry stocks of the current booster packs, sleeves and deck boxes, but structure decks, fat packs and collector tins can be supplied on an individual basis.

Once your trading card order has been confirmed you can pay for your goods online:
