Do NOT try and sell this place any cards whatsoever. Came in with a decent amount of Pokémon…read morecards--expecting it to take a few days for them to go through it all but hoping they could maybe pay out a small amount for some higher value singles. Wasn't a deal breaker but seemed a reasonable request. The collection was well organized and labeled and in really good condition--not just thrown into a bin or binder. The person told me they could go through all of it right then within 15-20 minutes because "it was just all bulk". It was absolutely not all bulk cards but ok I thought whatever let's see what they offer. After waiting over an hour, they offered me $35 for all of the cards. Um yeah absolutely not. Went to a different store, waited a few days and got offered $170 AND got almost half of the cards back. I had had a positive experience here previous but that price differential is just completely insane and unacceptable and I would hate for this to happen to someone else who really needs the extra cash. Go to Dreamer's Vault on Hiawatha to sell your cards--don't waste your time here!!

Don't buy here. I…read morecalled about three weeks ago to ask about Pokémon Scarlet & Violet single booster packs and was quoted $8 per pack. That's above MSRP, but still reasonable if you can't find them at retail. Yesterday, before making the 30-minute drive, I called again to confirm prices. I asked about Prismatic Evolutions, Pokémon 151, and Scarlet & Violet. The employee knew some of the prices himself but asked a female coworker to help with and confirm the others. I could clearly hear their conversation over the phone. Between the two of them, they quoted Prismatic Evolutions at $15 per pack, Pokémon 151 at $30 per pack, and Scarlet & Violet at $9 per pack. After confirming the prices, the employee repeated them to me, so I made the drive based on the information they gave me. When I arrived, the Scarlet & Violet packs were marked $12 each. I told them I had literally just called and was quoted $9 per pack. Instead of acknowledging that the wrong price had been given over the phone, the female employee denied that anyone had ever quoted me $9 and even claimed that no one had spoken to me on the phone. That made absolutely no sense since I had called less than 30 minutes earlier, heard the employee ask her for help confirming prices, and then heard the prices they gave me. The extra $3 per pack wasn't even the biggest issue. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the dishonesty and refusal to simply say, "I'm sorry, we gave you the wrong price over the phone." Instead, they acted like I was making it up. To make things worse, another customer laughed and said, "The price is $12 for you, haha." Whether it was a joke or not, it made the experience even worse. What they don't realize is that if they had simply honored the quoted price--or even admitted the mistake--I was prepared to spend a couple thousand dollars that day on ETBs, booster packs, and singles. Instead, they lost a customer over $3 a pack and the way they handled the situation. It felt like a bait-and-switch. They tell you one price over the phone, charge a different price when you arrive, and then deny ever giving you the original quote or even speaking to you. Customer service and honesty go a long way, and this place showed me exactly how they treat customers. Save yourself the drive, your time, and your money. There are plenty of better card shops that deserve your business.

Located in the Milton Square historic buildings! They moved in this past winter…read more The selection here is impressive! There's a TON of inventory in the back room waiting to be organized and put out, but I get that takes a while. It didn't feel the most shopper-ready yet. My brother found some things he was excited about, and I found a few unique books! The owner is so kind and has plans to do DND and game nights as well as music nights with all their space. 3 books was ~$40 so not the most affordable prices, but I'm not super tuned in with what comic books run. I think in a few more months the space will be more visitor-ready with more inventory available to look through!

We were happy to have Free Comic Book Day return this year. Mind's Eye was the only place we wanted…read moreto go and so we did. They are in a new location since our last visit (used to be in Eagan). Per usual, everyone was friendly and helpful. I found a Harriet Tubman comic that I didn't even know existed. I bought the two copies they had. Everything was well organized and easy to peruse both the free and paid comics they have. This space is much smaller than their previous location. Fortunately, everyone was masked, which made us feel more at ease. One of the things I really love about this place, in addition to the fact that it's POC owned, is that I can be an all-out geek and nerd without getting any side eye. Chatting with the staff is fun and I always learn something new. I don't follow the comic world closely, so getting an update and to see the excitement of the person talking is quite infectious. It's probably why I've yet to spend less than $40 when we go there. Whether it's FCBD or not, this is the play for comics, graphic novels, and all kinds of things that you'll not find anywhere else. Stop in!

It was so nice seeing a different kind of bookstore open up and I love the variety of items they have. The location works well for everything they have available. They display the items well in the space and offer books, reading accessories, related merch, page overlays, a large children's section with plenty of stuffed animals, Lego sets, and much much more. They even have a clearance section! All the employees I came across were super helpful and friendly too; great vibe. The only thing I was disappointed by was that they didn't have a free membership option. But it sounds like the price for signing up for the membership initially for the first year can change depending on your purchase total. I'm not sure if that's true or how it's calculated, but if you plan to visit a lot it may be something worthwhile for you to look into. Great variety with a clearance section? I will definitely visit again!

When I got up to the counter there was a bit of a situation going on between the cashier & a customer but other staff & a manager came up to help resolve it. They do have a yearly membership you can subscribe to for $25/yr. BAM is a chain store from the south I believe.

If you are looking for a new series, they may need to special order it for you. They also seem to have many autograph signings here which is cool. We will definitely be back!

They only pay less than a dollar for any comics no matter the condition.
