I've visited this place once or twice a year over the past decade when I am in the area. Comparing…read morethe the many similar type stores around the country, I'll give a few points on this particular place. They have a pretty comprehensive variety in stock both among and between categories of both new and used/vintage (video games, music, movies, collectables, comics and so forth). Each category has its own section of the store. Their prices used to be a bit under the equivalent ebay cost even before shipping (if a game was $20 on ebay + $5 shipping, they would have it as $16), but over the years they caught up to, and are now basically same prices plus or minus a couple dollars even after considering shipping, however they will sometimes offer sales on categories (buy one get one 50% off or buy three get one free) which give them back the pricing advantage. The exception is the rarer stuff, which can be more volatile in price, so sometimes a sought after game can be somewhat over or under priced for example. I've bought dozens of games, comics, consoles from them over the years, all worked, and the one time I had an issue they resolved it ( I bought a complete run of new mutants which noted it had a reprint of 98, but did not note having a reprint of 87, so I was able to return after opening the set and finding this). On the selling side, I rarely sell stuff, but like anywhere, they are designed to make a profit, so if you are looking to sell for cash by definition you are not going to get market value, so I recommend getting store credit, and then waiting for a sale day to buy other stuff you want and you might end up ahead of the market rate on your trade in! The reason its not 5 stars is the place can be a bit cramped, and hard to browse if there are more than a handful of people in the area you are shopping, and they over pack the back issue comics bins such that you can't really flick though the issues, you need to pull them out of the tightly packed bin to see them, and if you want to buy something in a case (understandably most valuable items are locked in cases) it can take a while to get somebody to get it for you to buy.

I am not a collector of sports memorabilia but I found myself needing two specific baseball cards…read morefor a gift for some friends. So I turned to the internet and found my way to Lj's. When I got there I was instantly greeted by a man who I'll assume was the owner. He was incredibly nice and very helpful. He asked me if I was looking for anything specific or just browsing. I appreciate that he knows he has the kind of shop where people may just come in out of curiosity. Since I was looking for some specific cards I asked for his help. He pointed me to the appropriate boxes and told me to take all the time I needed (at the conveniently provided table and chairs). He also thoroughly explained the way they price their cards and while I don't intend to need to by cards very often I appreciated that he took the time to let me know. I can't really speak to the quality of the merchandise itself in the shop. There were boxes and boxes of cards that were all in sleeves, well organized, and clearly labelled. They have an assortment of non-card memorabilia as well like pennants and mini helmets. In the end I found the two cards I needed and was very happy. I only paid one dollar (book value of $1 each) and was very satisfied. While I was in there I got some more ideas of other people who might appreciate a card of a favorite player so I may head back to a sports card store someday. If that day happens while I'm in Binghamton, then Lj's will certainly be where I go.

My husband and I went to LJ's sports cards this afternoon to buy card storage supplies to start up his e-bay business. When we walked in the owner and two other customers were sitting in the back chatting, which is fine, but no acknowledgement from the owner. My husband and I grabbed our supplies and sat at the counter for a solid 5 minutes, while the owner walked by us, fully seeing the merchandise we were going purchase and continued to talk to his friends about how he wanted to financially "screw" (his words) with his ex wife. Well apparently he is doing that to himself because we left the store without a purchase. Too bad considering we would have been long time customers, instead we went to Centerfield Comics and Books in Endicott. The owner was friendly and helpful and even gave us a discount on our supplies. There are many other card shops in this town, don't waste your time with this one!

I am writing to echo the sentiment of several reviewers here as I too experienced an uncomfortable…read moreinteraction with who I believe is the owner. My wife and I were checking out the Ithaca Commons and leisurely walked into this comic shop. As soon as we walked in, the owner asked if we needed help. I said I was just browsing. He then asked if I collected comics. I said I used to up until 2005 but then sorta lost interest due to the over-saturation of the semi-annual crossover events, but I still have a rough knowledge of the happenings in the current Marvel Universe. The guy then started getting really pushy by suggesting that I get back into comic collecting by picking up a trade paperback. I felt pretty uncomfortable so I just kept browsing around the store. My wife tried making small talks asking if he had any nearby restaurant suggestions. He gave an awkward answer (I'm paraphrasing here), "not really, food is food." And then resumed pestering me to buy a book. If I haven't bought a comic in the last 20 years, what makes him think that I was gonna start in his shop during a trip 3000 miles away from home? I was getting really uncomfortable at this point with the awkward silence so I picked up an issue that I had mild interest in. I imagine if we walked out empty handed he would have scolded us like he did to many other people here. 2 stars instead of 1 because he wasn't awfully rude I guess. ‍

I can only imagine the selection at the beginning of the sale and how much stock was probably available. Even so, the selection today was remarkable. You certainly get a flavor for what all the college professors are requiring lit majors to buy by the mass quantities of certain titles. Anyhow, this sale has all kinds of books that are organized by topic and then by author. Really well run and the staff is friendly and efficient. Cash, check or card accepted. Today they marked down the prices; the most expensive book was 50 cents. The deals are wild! Masks and social distancing are enforced. There was a line outside when I arrived (5:15pm) and I waited for about 20-25 minutes to get in. It seemed to be a slower time and I'm not sure what the wait would be if it was a peak hour.
