Meet The Gathering Place Games Inc., a community-focused gaming destination built around bringing players, collectors, and hobby fans together.

The story of The Gathering Place started with a dream of creating a space where people could gather, share their passions, and feel at home in the gaming community. That vision became reality when Joshua Goodsell opened The Gathering Place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, creating a hub for trading cards, collectibles, gaming, and community events.

Their connection with Charlie’s Collectible Show began through the Magic: The Gathering community, and after joining CCS Raleigh from its first event, The Gathering Place quickly became part of the local hobby scene.

Known for expert card knowledge, strong customer service, and a collector-first approach, The Gathering Place helps fans find the cards and collectibles they are searching for through their inventory and global network of vendors.

Specializing in vintage TCG collectibles, their booth features Magic: The Gathering singles, Artist Proofs, alters, rare finds, vintage Pokémon cards, First Edition collectibles, sealed products, accessories, and unique mystery slabs. Their inventory is always evolving with hard-to-find pieces, custom products, and new discoveries.

From vintage collections to competitive play, The Gathering Place Games Inc. brings together the excitement of collecting, the strategy of gaming, and the community that makes the hobby special.
