This chain has evolved since the early 90s (Book Barn, Caveman Comics, etc.). They have become more…read moreof a media store than a comic book store in recent years. Upon entering, you will see a diverse selection of neat stuff that covers the entire spectrum of geek entertainment media ranging from collectible toys from the 80s, video games, used bluerays, and rare posters. These things exist on the internet, but it's nice to see them with your own eyes on a store shelf. Surprisingly, it's their collection of comics and graphic novels that is lacking. I often look for trades of The Walking Dead and Preacher, but most of the time they are out of stock. The employees don't seem to know much about the medium either, so you might be better off finding another store that specializes in comics if that is what you want. I once asked an employee about premium mylar comic book bags and the kid didn't have a clue. He actually referred me to Hobby Lobby, which is ridiculous. As a video game store, it fares a little better. Their selection is surprisingly good. It's nice to see an entire section devoted to PS2 games, when Game Stop hardly has any at all. I've been somewhat impressed with the condition of my game purchases, as the disks are rarely scratched all to hell (the way Game Stop's are). Their pricing is often lackluster, but this can be offset by their online coupons (for which you can sign up) and their frequent 3-for-the-price-of-2 sales. In the end, these deals can average out the prices to where they should be. Even so, Amazon often beats Vintage Stock's used game prices with brand new, sealed games. I use Vintage Stock as a secondary resource, when I can't find a specific game I'm looking for on the internet. The real value that Vintage Stock provides is a physical location that you can visit, allowing you to see large collections of cool stuff all in one place. This is becoming a rare commodity nowadays.

I have used vintage for my comics for three years now. I have a pull list and they are great…read more Nearly everyone knows me by name, they have learned what authors and artists I like. The will even add books to my box if the cover is by a specific artist they know I like. If I don't want the book no pressure to keep it. Occasionally a book or two gets missed but I have 20+ books on my list and everyone makes mistakes.

Awesome comic shop. Has a lot of current titles. Majority of the comics are older. Very good…read moreprices, they have 30% off new titles. This places also has a lot of old titles at great prices. Picked up some classic Fantastic Four comics. They have some cool toys and nick nacks. Great place to spend an hour searching for some classic comics

Great selection of back issues, few for current, not many toys…read more This shop has some of that "classic" comic shop feel. Tons of long boxes for back issues that are well organized and spread out on tables throughout the shop's sections. Having grown up with comic shops in the 80's, this was a bit of a throw back. None of the trendy, hipster appeal. Just good ol' comic stuff everywhere. If you're a bargain hunter, this place isn't bad. They had several $1 boxes to loot through. The other back issues are decently priced and you can buy full runs at reasonable costs. The owner has several CGC comics and a few rarities behind the counter. If you were looking for something graded, I would call ahead, as he did not have very many. Speaking of, the shop can ship your comics for CGC grading, and is a little cheaper than doing it from CGC's site. The owner is friendly, talkative, and informative. He was very polite to my wife (who is not a comic nerd and is very quick to judge a place on how they treat her and its appearance). Which leads me to the area, which I usually don't remark on. The store is completely by itself, but is just down the street from Commercial street. After a healthy shopping trip to the comic shop, I like to read my latest finds over lunch or supper. Commercial has a lot of great places to eat OR drop off my wife so I can get uninterrupted nerd time. The largest complaint is that the selection of current issues was extremely limited. I realize this is to keep down costs, but I like variety and often pick up 2-3 titles I don't usually read out of curiosity. There was a display of consul games, and I overheard a customer doing a trade in. Have no clue about the prices or selection. There is no table top gaming supplies nor places to play, so if you are gamer this store is not for you. I will say, this is probably one of the better subscription services I have seen. Signing up for a sub means you get 50% off the back issues (great for me since I like filling in my collection) and a savings stamp card. "Spend X and get Y discount" stamp card. The toys are scattered and sparse. A few current Star Wars, some POP, a few oddities, but that's about it. More of impulse buys than anything else. The store has a counter for MTG and other card games, but limited display. I'm not a card gamer, but I saw several customers buying cards there. The owner had binders of cards for them to riffle through, which I assume from the haggling, were more common cards. In short, a decent comic shop. Not strong in any one dimension, but very balanced across many. I go out of my way to go to this store (mostly as selection in my area is absolutely sparse). Avoid if you are a gamer, but for a comic buyer, this place is pretty good.
