It starts with one card. Maybe it’s your childhood favourite player in mint condition. Maybe it’s a holographic Pikachu, still sparkling after all these years. Whatever it is, that first card brings it all rushing back—Saturday mornings, trade nights, corner store booster packs. The excitement of peeling open a fresh pack. The hope. The chase. And now, that feeling has a new home in Chilliwack.
District 1881 has just welcomed not one but two brand-new shops dedicated to collectors, fans, and nostalgic treasure hunters. Whether you’re reliving your own golden age or sharing the experience with a new generation, this is the spot to do it.
Let’s start on the sports side. Goalline Sports Cards officially opened on March 15, bringing hobby-level excitement to downtown Chilliwack. Billed as “Chilliwack’s Premium Sports Card Shop” and “The Home of Hobby Hockey Sports Cards,” this locally owned gem caters to casual browsers and serious collectors alike. Inside, you’ll find sealed hobby boxes stacked high, display cases filled with rare hits, rows of graded rookie cards, and enough stats talk to satisfy any die-hard fan. It’s the kind of place where collectors become regulars—and where someone always knows the score.

Whether you’re chasing a Connor Bedard rookie, a vintage Gretzky, or just picking up a few packs for the fun of it, Goalline invites you to take your time, soak it in, and chat with others who share the passion. Follow them on Facebook or Instagram to keep up with new arrivals, store events, and hobby news.
Just steps away, trading cleats for creatures, is Kanto Poke Mart, which opened its doors on March 22. Walking in feels like stepping into a real-life Pokémon Center. Think plushies stacked to the ceiling, glinting booster packs, Japanese exclusives, themed collector tins, and more. Their motto? “Your one stop Pokémon shop! We’ve got something for every Pokémon fan, young or old!” And they deliver on that promise. The shop is bright, playful, and buzzing with Poké-power, whether you’re looking for your first Charmander or your fifteenth Mewtwo.
Kanto isn’t just for the kids—it’s for the kid in all of us. With its colorful displays and welcoming energy, it’s the perfect place to rediscover the fun of the hunt or spark a new obsession.
Pairing these two Canadian-owned businesses in one trip is a collector’s dream. Grab a coffee from a nearby café, swing by both shops, and lose yourself in the world of trading cards, rare finds, and throwback fun.
And the best part? District 1881 is free to explore, packed with charm, and always buzzing with energy. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just curious, this corner of downtown Chilliwack has something special waiting for you.
