Got his hotwheels from the spot
Manuma T.

This place is awesome the service is the best I love coming here for all the collection stuff and the prices are good. This guy has everything from hard to find stuff to stuff you never even knew existed. He's got Yugioh cards, Pokemon, one piece, magic the gathering, sports cards and more y'all have to sign up for the membership too if you're a real collector. The discount is worth it. I bring my son here too and he loves it. Definitely one of my favorite places to go to in San Francisco. Sometimes they will let you in to look around. But yeah it's a place you gotta visit if you're in San Francisco.

The impenetrable fortress aka their storefront
Anthony J.

Store looks practically abandoned yet they're open for business. Can't even step inside and look around because they have a 3 year old Covid barrier still up yet every other shop on the block is maskless. Sucks to see a store that has been around this long look so decrepit.

Masters of the Universe above the FALLEN Skeletor bought from this business.

Isn't it pretty surreal to think that such a business as Cards & Comics Central that is not essential for people to survive for they do not serve a vital need of yours - IN PLAIN SIGHT - and although it literally does not; IT still HAS the very obvious solid intention, motivation, willingness and further makes the actual effort to sustain itself in such a gray-scaled world, where the importance of 'keeping the kid within one's own heart alive' ultimately got reduced to a negligible point (Special Thanks to the MATRIX); for you were flawlessly programmed to become adults who would prioritize activities of procreational sorts so to be able to experience the curious innocence of a kid's, in the very new life that you would bring to this gray-scaled & constant procreation oriented BITTER WORLD of so-called humanity; which in my own experience had become a million times more unliveable in less than two decades of a period, proudly sustaining that quite 'cancerously' uncontrolled reproductive activity! Which hurts the kid in me, you know, who was born in the 80's, such a lovely era truly; providing me with the 'knowing' so well of what LOVE actually felt like back then quite dearly and romantically; and indeed very collectively by the majority of humanity!.. I am beyond grateful to this business for serving the very unique needs of the kid at my heart; who is indeed determined to keep liking and loving what he had always liked or loved in HIS OWN DREAM WORLD; as some of them happen to be my literal "SOUL FOOD"s which I won't ever stop feeding my soul with... ** ...no matter how further I would age, Open are the doors to my soul cage!.. To praise businesses like this one, especially in this day & age Haven't you also been feeling a need 2 TURN this awful page? For a better world to altogether stage! x 2 I HAVE A CRUSH ON THIS BUSINESS in a quite similar way to Jennifer Paige! ** This place inside is actually like a toy museum that has all sorts of action figures, their separately sold accessories, other various collectibles as well as the original play sets of your favorite superheroes, some of them being large enough to occupy a quarter of your bedroom space, adding up to your colorful GRACE. The value part would be unquestionably relative; as once again, this business offers you the kind of nutrition that not every single adult feels a specific type of hunger for. And if you are a person with such uniquely specific needs; sometimes the high price loses its scary meaning due to the very nature of those very needs or how they should best be fulfilled; given your character & nature, using which, had you already made your BUDGET to purchase you that specific gadget in which you are interested. ^_^ ** SO, if you think that this business is on the pricier side of TOY THINGS Tell me how much would be enough to buy your UNIQUE BLISS-BOY HAPPINESS Who could judge you if you agree to spend $100 on an ETERNAL Sailormoon Statue Without your active imagination toys won't change a lot, and PATIENCE is a virtue ** That said, if you are one of those adults who has always identified their very own needs without having to necessarily requiring to consult any external body, in total wholesomeness which they maintain so flawlessly self-sufficiently; and if you know how to make the kid at your heart happy - ALTHOUGH THEY NO LONGER PHYSICALLY ALLOW YOU IN POST-PANDEMIC, WHICH IS QUITE HEARTBREAKING - you should absolutely go & check the place out; as their restless staff members will be there to assist you; like hard-working Smurfs, each, which to me is, comically adorable. Because there are not that many adults as those guys in the world anymore; you know. Perhaps in Pixar Studios; yet not in your most commonly visited grocery stores. I am so grateful to this business for their very contribution to achieve a significant removal of boredom, which this Groundhog Day-ish themed simulation naturally has to it; which will likely be my affidavit for the times that I couldn't simply do it; if I were to be asked why I couldn't make IT, GOD-FORBID! Feeling in need of hopping on to a Time Machine and travel back to a time where you were able to enjoy being a KID AGAIN? Check these guys out. PRO-TIP: If you are a cartoons & comics enthusiast; keep in mind that the guys who work there are literal Comics Universe Wikipedia; so do not hesitate to be super duper specific about what exact colors of boots the particular character from a particular planet, that you would want them to be in that particular design of that figure of your very search, so to be able to consider that for purchase. The way they treated me in that regard; each and every time, made me feel like they must've already started the opportunity to cross-sell a rarely found long-lost cousin of that particular character's which they've already started looking for you in the depths of their curb pickup style store!

Yugioh!!!

Customer service here is always good! They never bother me for shit, they don't even talk to me when I'm in the store walking around.. Love that! But as of right now, they are only open for pick ups no store browsing for you filthy animals trying to come in. Better safe than sorry.

Got commander Cody , incinerator trooper and og Mando from this store , guy was helpful and attentive
Mark B.

Was looking for these locally for a while got Cody , Mando and incinerator trooper from here , guy working there is helpful and attentive, only gripe I have is curbside service can't browse in the shop to buy more stuff.

Came here while waiting for my friends to arrive for lunch near by and was amazed with their small but awesome collection of Sailormoon merchandise. Had to resist from buying everything, especially when the customer service was amazing. Ended up with two of the mystery Night & Day figurines for my sister and myself. The gentleman at the front even helped me look up if the mangas were available. Came home and opened up our goodies and was surprised to find two of the three figurines we were hoping for. Glad I was able to wander in, help out my local business, and add to my collection!

Joe Cool Figurine for $6.50
Matt G.

This small comic-book store sells many vintage and current comic books and other cool toys. Also, I like the selections of action figures and pricey figurines. Among the cool figurines the shop carries are Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America (all with movies coming out in 2011), Iron Man, Batman, Terminator to name a few. But the only one that mattered and I bought is this for $6.50: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/GfE_o_1DV9JTV5FqCDkm5Q?select=vhkabmUbwHwxbGwvjcEXtQ I wish the store carried more of my favorite beagle.

This souvenir shop is always my go to for gifts and somehow saves me every single time. Last minute…read moreor not it is the first place I think of. I have found baby shower gifts birthday gifts white elephant gifts ornaments and honestly something for every occasion you can imagine. The selection is always creative and feels thoughtful not generic. I especially love the Sunset District merch because it is always a crowd favorite and feels personal without trying too hard. The stationery is also dangerously cute and the wrapping paper and gift bags are truly top tier which honestly makes the gift feel even better. If you are looking for a gift whether you are panicking or just browsing this place is a must stop. And as if it needed another reason to love it one time a bunch of hummingbirds flew into the store and were just flying around. I do not know about you but I fully believe hummingbirds are a good omen so at this point the good vibes are confirmed

I didn't even realize that Wishbone (the former store in this location) is now called "My…read moreFavorite," until hours later in Golden Gate Park - after I glanced at the artful "My Favorite" stamp on the brown paper bag from my recent purchase. I suspect that the delay in recognizing the name change was because My Favorite has very similar inventory to Wishbone. I was pleased to learn that it is even run by a former Wishbone employee. On my recent visit here, I was particularly enamored with My Favorite's jewelry section. My eyes were drawn to a pair of delicate beaded gold earrings and the daintiest elegant beaded bracelet. In addition to their well curated jewelry items, they also carry fun SF themed puzzles, cute dishcloths, empowering kids books - and other colorful quirky finds I ended up buying a petite hooked rug pillow with daffodils on it - to commemorate my Welsh heritage - https://www.wales.com/about/welcome-wales/national-symbols-wales . I had hoped the pillow was handmade, but after talking with the helpful and kind staff member here when checking out, she revealed that it was likely mass produced in a factory in China. I appreciated her candid honesty. Even though the pillow was actually fairly hard to the touch, and not handmade - I felt called to purchase it. I would much rather say "aw I love this place," as I pay for an item, rather than "aw I loved that place," when the business is gone. My hard whimsical daffodil pillow now sits upright in the corner of our place. A reminder that even small purchases help support wonderful local businesses. Trust.

Amoeba offers a VAST collection of vinyls, DVDs, CDs, stickers, and magnets. My partner and I collect vinyls, and we didn't leave disappointed.

I still remember when this location was Park Bowl, but that was (gasp) over thirty years ago when…read morebowling was still a popular social activity. I myself was on a bowling team named the Orient Express, and I wish I still had my red team shirt with the dragon on the back. But I digress as this has been an independent record store since 1997, an offshoot of the Berkeley store on Telegraph. Digital downloads be damned, this shop is focused on physical media...CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, Blu-rays, and of course, vinyl. Even before picking up spares at Park Bowl, I recall that moment in my youth when I made the monumental decision to switch my record purchases from vinyl to CDs. Nowadays, vinyl is making a comeback among a younger generation looking for a higher quality, more realistic sound quality. I saw these Gen Z audiophiles flipping through the long LP bins in search of the elusive underground classic their stereophonic friends could appreciate and envy. Personally I could find nuggets of my own. Albums like The Very Best of Spike Jones (Photo 10) and The Complete 2,000 Year Old Man (Photo 5) resonated with me. I was happy to see individual LPs consolidated into boxed sets like the Linda Ronstadt retrospective. Beyond the music is the expansive DVD collection of movie titles both classic and obscure. There's also books and collectible merchandise like pop-culture lunch boxes and celebrity prayer candles. I'm not sure I need a candle that deifies Aubrey Plaza, but it's good to know where I can get one. RELATED - Exploring the Haight?
