I could spend hours just digging and is easy to navigate. Their graphic novel section is just as strong, thoughtfully curated with top writers and artists kept in mind. The weekly new release selection is always on point, I love walking that wall of newly released comics and finding something new. Alex, the owner, is genuinely kind and approachable. The shop has that Cheers-like vibe where you can talk comics with the owner and other collectors without feeling rushed. If you're in the Bay Area and love comics, this shop is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

I ordered the latest SAGA trades and the owner took my info down to place and order and notify me of arrival. He kept to his word, called, and left a voicemail right away... I think it arrived it less than a week. The prices were great, and the owner is passionate about comics (and the spice of life). I highly recommend checking out this shop, will definitely return for my next comic book needs!

I got here right as the shop opened and was greeted by one of the shop staff members immediately…read morewith a hello and welcome in, to walk into one of the most vast collection spaces i've ever seen!! From multiple extremely kind vendors, are small businesses set up around the warehouse to browse and I could honestly spend hours walking around looking at everything! I was here for pokemon specifically, and luckily I found what i was in search of, but there are about 2-3 of the vendors that sell pokemon product, while 1-2 of them specialize in pokemon while also at a great price! I also noticed the largest collection of Pop Funko i've ever seen, along with walls and isles of action figures, Hot wheels, Comic Books, and some of the friendliest, and knowledgeable staff you'll come by! Definitely stop in whether you're looking for something specific or maybe a few different items, they just might have what you're looking for! (Written by a newer collector)

The cons: some items are definitely significantly above online prices but I can't really fault them for it being brick and mortar so they have higher expenses.

More critically, their prices for Pokémon cards appear to be well above current market value, resembling scalper pricing.

They have a lot of other types of cards as One Piece or Digimon and they have a huge selection of Funko Pops.

If you're into card collecting, Comics Conspiracy is the only shop in the area that doesn't grossly mark up their prices on cards. Excellent value all around!

I was…read morelooking for a specific title that had just been released and wanted to support a local shop rather than buying off Amazon, so I came here. I've stopped by once or twice before but this was the first time I had time to really browse and make a purchase. The staff were super nice and found the book for me right away. They have a good selection of recent, popular titles, organized well and even have staff recommendations posted throughout the store if you're looking for your next read. They also have stationary and different knickknacks for sale too. Parking is difficult to find in this area but luckily I found a spot not too far away. Be careful backing out as the streets are quite narrow and there are always pedestrians. I'm looking forward to coming back here!

Huge comic book selection. Steep prices for trading card games (TCGs)…read more It's a comic shop, I get it. But $50 for a Pokémon stacking tin (MSRP: $15), over $20 per pack for the popular Pokémon sets (MSRP: $6), this ain't it. I get that PTCG is hot right now, but I'd rather an LGS price at/closer to MSRP and be sold out than to mark up beyond "market price" just to keep it stocked. The glass case includes raw and graded singles, and I like that the prices are clearly marked (unlike Legends, where you have to ask for prices), but again I feel like it's higher than market prices. I appreciate that they have boxes of MtG bulk and Pokémon bulk ($0.25 each, or 5/$1), probably some good finds in there if you have the time to look through it. Big range on prices for supplies. $3 for a one-touch case or basic deck box, but $5 for penny sleeves. They run some pricing specials (currently all books: Buy 2, Get 1 For $1), which is cool. Right now they're doing 75% off all board games (!)... but the board game selection is really small. Customer service seems fine; they'll happily answer questions without hounding you. I'm glad the shop is still around, but unless the PTCG prices come down, I guess it's just not for me.

This may be my favorite used bookstore yet!…read more The ladies working there were so welcoming and friendly.

This place is really hole-in-the-wall basement ish warehouse type feel bookstore. The prices are amazing for the used books. It is incredibly reasonably priced. I found two children's books in very good quality for $1 each. What a steal! For the most part, don't expect finding hot new bestsellers in here. This place is like for book antiques or if you need a used copy of something that might be a few years back. It was good for what I needed since I'm looking for some older historical fiction books about the American revolution. I was surprised to find two books here that I needed and so maybe you'll get lucky too! The couple who owns this place are very friendly. They said hi right upon me walking in. Selection is pretty wide, the books genres are organized in a neat way but the books themselves are scattered. For example, the fiction and nonfiction adult books are alphabetical order by last name but the children's books are not. It made things harder for me to look but I didn't mind since I had time. If you're in a rush then maybe this place isn't the best or just ask the lady up front for help! Overall this place is a gem and the proceeds go to a good cause--San Mateo historical foundation!

I have been a customer of the Fremont branch of Half Price Books for several years now. Because of…read moretheir extensive selection of books I have been able to read many hard to find books for a reasonable price. I have also ordered from them online with the same positive results. I have also sold many books and other items as well. They do not pay very high prices for the objects. I would check prices before selling there. However, the convenience (they take a very large range of items) can be worth it on its own. They can save you time by not having to try several places that may reject the items because they don't fit their exact customer preferences. Half Price Books is willing to take a lot of items because they are large enough to find a buyer. Finally, I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful every time I have been there so far.
