A few months ago we stopped by B&D to get a few comics for a road trip we were taking. Our nine…read moreyear old had been watching Miles Morales over the summer, and I wanted to prompt him to read more and watch less. We walked in and were warmly welcomed by everyone there, including other customers. I even picked up a Green Arrow and G.I. Joe for myself. Now we are frequent visitors and greeted by name as we walk in and have pull lists of current series that we are reading. While my son is learning about different characters that he's interested in, I've delved into the realm of Key Comic Collecting. What I've found here is their absolute desire to help every one of their customers feel welcome, validated in their style of collecting and appreciated for the time spent within those four walls. All in all I would say that when I open my wallet at B & D, the value in the book I'm purchasing is increased by the relationship we have with the B&D team. Happy Reading, Rob & Robert

If you are looking for a sprawling store full of far fetched prices this is not that place. They have a humble and smart business model built upon honesty and kindness topped by being informative about the comics that they sell. I follow them on Facebook for store news. EXCELSIOR!

When it is said that Star City Comics & Games is the largest dealer in trading card games, this is…read moreno joke. This is the place to shop if you are in the market for any TCGs. In particular, Magic: The Gathering is their specialty. They deal in box sets, booster packs, and singles. Their prices are reasonable for the going rates within the TCG market at any given time. In addition, their staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the various games they sell. If your inner nerd has a TCG itch to scratch, skip the big box stores and pay Star City Comics & Games a visit.

I went into the store this evening to pick up a copy of Winning Moves Risk 1959 Edition. I called…read moreahead to inquire about it, I asked if they price matched and the lady said yes. So I arrived and picked it up, took it to the desk and the lady said she needed to get approval for the price match. I looked up the listing from walmart to show her the listed price. She said that the price, including the shipping, has to be lower than their price. The listing says "Free pickup, Fri October 11th." She took a picture of the listing, including the shipping details and sends them in a message to her store manager, no reply. She called the manager, no answer. Time is burning. She messaged the store owner, no reply. She called the owner, no answer. We are now at 20 minutes of waiting. I figured "It would be a shame to leave empty handed, i mean after all Ive waited this long." She keeps messaging and calling until finally she gets through to someone, but they hang up on her. Finally, 30 minutes after I arrived, she makes contact with someone that can approve the discount. She is than told the manager has to confirm the price and is hung up on. So we wait even longer. Finally she gets a call, they wont match the price because walmart's free shipping is only if I spend $35. Walmart clearly ships this item to the store for free. The lady at the store was very nice. I cannot recommend her more highly. The manager of the store was both unprofessional and demeaning in the way he/she treated the customer and the lady at the counter. Later in the evening the owner called me to apologize and offered to deliver it to my himself.

He also took the time to walk me through the process of how he evaluates what price point he lands at for an offer. This was important to me, because like a LOT of us out there I don't know much about the Pawn business. Definitely stop in and pay them a visit if you're looking for anything from Video games, to power tools, from jewelry and stereos all the way to guitars and Hunting rifles this little shop has it all!

They are often busy with many customers but they will get to you. Free coffee while you wait.
