The back issues bins have been upgraded from endless rows of beat-up white paper boxes to a beautiful and easier-to-sift-through shelving system with integrated display bins. The books in that section are two dollars a piece. They also have an extensive new release section and individually priced back issues to go with the higher-priced wall books on display behind the counter. The store owner is friendly and welcoming, too. He can either talk to you all day about comics or just be quiet and let you do your thing. The place is super clean, and on-street parking is easy and convenient, too.

I stumbled upon this place and I couldn't believe my eyes... They've got comic books, action…read morefigures, prop replicas, Transformers, statues, video games... It's like stepping into a time machine when you see all the retro goodness inside! If you're a longtime collector, you'll appreciate all the rarities found here. The owners are very nice and really knowledgeable when it comes to these collectibles. Each section of the store is devoted to a particular fandom, whether it's a wall of vintage Star Wars figures from Kenner, or a glass case full of G1 Transformers. All the while, they're usually playing a geeky movie in the background too! Always double check the hours and refer to their social media in case something comes up. It's not a big corporate chain store, but that's a good thing when it comes to collectibles. Though it's a little in the middle of nowhere, it's worth the trip!

I didn't see a lot of "sports" stuff there, if any, really. But there was a good amount of Funko Pops, trading cards, and other related collectibles if you're into that sort of thing. I'm only here for the comics. Overall, it's a place that I can easily pop into on my way home but can get lost in for hours just by combing through the dollar bins and searching for hidden gems. The owner is friendly, courteous, and always fun to talk with. You can tell that he loves collecting. (A "problem" that all of us in the comic community seem to have haha) My only gripe is that the condition of some of the dollar books and back issues should be looked at more carefully. Some are not quite as good as I thought they were when I purchased them. I only discovered this later on after taking them out of the bag. But for the low prices on some of them, I really can't complain.
