If you want to support local and national artists, craftspeople, screen printers, and offset presses, Wildcard is one place where you want to spend your cash.\n\nHere's what we liked most: Stellar collection of cards, rotated often, from tragically hip to vintage nostalgic. A small gallery space with exhibits by local artists. Excellent DIY wedding books. Selection of 412 and PGH cards, and stationary. They also sell and support work from several local PGH art and craft collectives. Brilliantly awkward cat cards from KATE FUNK. If you like brilliantly awkward cat cards, they don't get any better than this. Well-edited selection of kitschy crafts, from tea towels to handmade Star Trek pins. Antique pinball machines that really play!\n\nHere's what we liked least: The owners. As as a previous Yelper noted, this quartet of two guys and two gals is initially awkward to interact with, at least at first, and they don't go out of their to engage their customers or sell their product. However, I also imagine they started Wildcard because they love cards and crafts, not because they love giving great customer service for the sake of customer service itself. It's somewhat true, the women are usually busy with their computer screens, and the dudes always look like they're \"filling in.\" Once you talk to them, though, you quickly realize that they're polite, engaged, warm, bright, and friendly; more than that, they care about what they're selling, and they want you to care about it, too.\n\nDefinitely a fan of Wildcard."^^ .
