PackStop by ZentralGames has arrived at El Caracol Shopping Center, on Paseo Independencia, with an innovative initiative aimed at bringing collecting and trading card games to a central location through a simple, accessible purchasing format. The machine allows customers to select and buy products directly, with an offering designed both for regular players and collectors and for those looking to discover the hobby, buy a gift or simply purchase a pack.
In addition, the selection is not limited to trading card games. PackStop also offers Topps products and sports collectibles, expanding its catalog for fans looking for cards related to their favorite teams and athletes. The availability of the different collections and demand from fans will determine the makeup of the catalog, which can be purchased quickly and easily.
FROM ZENTRALGAMES TO A 24-HOUR MACHINE
PackStop was created by Carlos Ascaso and Stéphane Blazquez, who are driving the project through Zentral Collectibles Vending. The brand operates under the name PackStop by ZentralGames and is linked to the experience of the Zaragoza store specializing in collectible card games and board games. Ascaso has several years of experience in the TCG and collectibles sector through the Zaragoza store, while Blázquez has been pursuing a professional career in content creation and football for years.
"At ZentralGames, we see every day the interest collectible cards generate. With PackStop, we want to bring this hobby to more people and offer a convenient way to buy packs in the center of Zaragoza," Blazquez explains about a project launched just ahead of major dates in the Aragonese capital, such as the Fiestas del Pilar.
It is a hobby that brings together people of different ages and with diverse interests: playing, completing collections, discovering illustrations or sharing a passion. Pokémon, One Piece and Magic are some of the best-known names in a sector where entertainment, nostalgia and competition coexist. Sports collectibles also form part of the selection, allowing fans to follow and collect cards featuring their favorite teams and athletes.
