Upper Deck is proud to present a store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this week as our featured store. CCGs Cards Comics and Games has done an excellent job promoting the World of Warcraft TCG and other Upper Deck games in their store. Store owner John Parker goes out of his way to provide information to his customers about events and follows event guidelines to make sure he provides the best tournaments possible for his players. 

CCGs Cards Comics and Games has hosted several Elite World of Warcraft events, such as the Spectral Safari for both the World of Warcraft Trading Card game and Miniature game, a Fields of Honor Sneak Preview, and a North American Continental Championship Qualifier.
 

When asked about his regular World of Warcraft events John Parker explained, “we have been privileged to be THE place to come in Pittsburgh for Battlegrounds since the start of the program in early 2007. We currently hold TCG Battlegrounds on Thursday nights beginning at 6:30 and Minis Battlegrounds on Wednesday nights at 6:30. Our player base is both competitive and friendly. We always welcome new additions.”
 

John Parker has had a consistent turn out for his events. Many successful stores accomplish this by hosting events on a regular basis and communicating event information to their players. One way John accomplishes this is by updating his players on Upper Deck’s forums. The thread he uses is here: Gaming in Pittsburgh? Lets get it going with this one!
 

This Pittsburgh store has also had its share of player successes. At DMF Indianapolis ’08, local player Josh Paris was able to secure a Top 8 finish, while 3 other local players were competing in Day 2 of the 2008 North America Continental Championship. Scott Watson has had Top 8 finishes at several Minis events, including Azshara’s Season 3 Realm Championships and DMF Charlotte. Until he moved recently, Aaron Vanderbeek used CCGs Cards Comics and Games as a base of operations.
