      <image:caption>Most of the time, the card’s name will be in the top left corner of the card above the art. This is the most important information you can have because it determines what a card is.

      <image:caption>The expansion symbol is often located just below the art and above the rules text. Depending upon what period in Magic’s history the card was printed, it may be filled in with orange, gold, or silver to demonstrate its rarity. This set symbol is for Ultimate Masters and its gold color means we’re looking at a rare card.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - who we are.</image:title>
      <image:caption>ala Tompkins TCG started as a weekend cleaning project. I wanted to clear some space in the top of my bedroom closet so we started selling as much as we could to the TCGPlayer Buylist. Before I knew it, I was seeking out more cards to sell and ended up investing in the largest lot of bulk cards I’ve ever seen in February 2020. Seriously, it filled an entire SUV from floor-to-ceiling. When Covid-19 and quarantine hit, my little cleaning project was abandoned and a business was born. In 2022 I opened a full-service gaming store in Pleasant Valley, NY specializing in all things Collectible Card Game. It was a magical and fun place where everyone got to play card games in a safe and inclusive environment that also had some pink walls. In May of 2025 we closed our brick and mortar location so I could focus on my health and raising my child.</image:caption>
