One thing to note, Jake's is not a new pull comic shop, but makes up for it with an excellent cheap longbox selection in the front of the store. Carries some graphic novels. Has a significant stock of TCG/CCG games that are kept behind the counter. Shop seems to specialize in Magic The Gathering with significant backstock. The decent stock of board games and HeroClix are located mid store. In the back is a LARGE area for gaming with several tables along with several customized environment tables. Model Supplies are also kept in this area along with several assembled models on display. Shop carries a significant stock of card protectors and collectors supplies. They also stock a good amount of sports cards and memorabilia including Penn State merchandise. Autographed merchandise was kept behind the counter at the register. Various sports cards were available at both full price and discount including full boxes, along with older NASCAR collectables, and other random merchandise. Collectables are all over the shop. Excellent staff who were very pleasant to talk with and knowledgeable about the area and other comic/sci-fi conventions we could look into. Shop is much like an old school card shop, so it's not the most modem place in the word. Parking is on the street so be prepared to circle the block. State Colleges best comic shop is in Bellefonte, possibly the biggest surprise of the visit.

What a great find in historic downtown Bellefonte PA. The great Mish Mosh (which has a great name…read moreto begin with) is an awesome antique/thrift store that offers many different items. The store is broken up by two floors and both offer some very unique items. I was really impressed by the first floors selection of furniture for such an inexpensive price. They also offer a large selection of vinyl on both floors. Overall this is a great place to check out while in Bellefonte that offers really cool items at great prices!

It's truly the best collection of antiques, vintage and upcycled items. The shop is in an historic building adding to the charm. Be sure to go upstairs! If you have a special request, just ask Brian --he'll find it! You'll love Mish Mosh. There are gems throughout. Some times I go just to reminisce but usually I end up buying something. I normally repurpose or upcycle items I find here. My house is full of MishMosh from MishMosh!

The only downside is that they can't compete with Amazon's prices, though they do compare well with Barnes & Noble. That's just the reality of running a brick-and-mortar business. Still, it's always worth a visit. The staff is consistently friendly. My only real critique isn't about the store itself, but more about how Amazon's pricing power can make it difficult for small businesses to compete, making this store feel prohibitively exspenive for a college student (especially for one who has free access to the Paterno Library).

Located right across the street from the Corner Room and Pickle's Tap Room on Allen Street, we were…read moresurprised to see a book store amongst all the bars and bicycle repair stores. My husband can never pass up the change to check out a book store so we stopped in and were greeted by a friendly cashier and quite a large selection of books. Very clean and bright, its a quiet but quaint store that offers best sellers, value books, and a surprising amount of Japanese/high quality notebooks, stationary and pens. I did hear several people asking about what books they carried and the cashier was able to pull books for them or offer let them know when the book was in stock so I imagine they're still getting a feel for what stock to carry. I picked up 2 books from the recommended wall that piqued my interest and look foreword to reading them. Price wise they sell for retail price so on par with the big box stores, so I'd rather support a small business. Its also eerily quiet inside so I'd like some soft background music otherwise I was able to hear every conversation around me. Other than that its a cute small book store in the heart of state college. A nice addition I look forward to visiting on our next trip up

There is little evidence of meaningful impact. The employees will troll after you breathing down your neck, which makes it not very fun to visit. The worst part is the way these people treat animals. They frequently have llamas and alpacas in their parking lot as entertainment. It is inhumane. They leave two poor creatures out on the pavement as entertainment for children. It's truly shameful. In general this place is all capitalism with no style/class. You won't find anything decent here in any arena. It's also horribly overpriced as proven by their frequent blowout sales.
