This spacious shop is very clean and organized which makes it very easy to browse and see what they have to offer, and seems like they also buy, sell and trade items as well which is pretty cool though not sure how it's done but for the true collector this is a great deal and a valuable convenient place to do so, it's not quite my vibe but is a cute shop which many seem to enjoy. Thank you!

Coming in just before noon Pro Bowl Sunday with a friend, I pondered about how long it's been since…read moreI've visited a store in this line. My friend knew what he sought while I browsed and reminisced as I saw different sports cards. The store layout is similar to stores in the Bay Area with various cards in glass cases and less valuable cards in bins organized by sport and age. I saw a cabinet on the right with some memorabilia from the Pro Bowl from years gone by ()https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=408&select=i24JOx064HzUlh0BmyKj-g.

I am bit out of touch with card collecting as it's been several decades since I kept up. The market has changed where they are now a commodity. Those in-the-know will attest to that. Caught up with the momentum of history possibly being made the following week, I bought a Patrick Mahomes card. Thank you to Dave and Jeff who manned the store and answered questions as they came up. They told me that the owner, Calvin, has been in the business for quite a while and I might have likely shopped at his store in the '90's when the hobby was still of interest to me.

Part of the multiverse???…read more Strange how I've checked into this location a multiple times and even wrote a review a few years back, but it doesn't exist yet according to Yelp. Must be a rip in the time stream the Avengers fail to fix. So I guess we start all over. Located right above Queen Street Cafe and Grill (I know you read that review), is the place. Just cut this place into three sections: 1) Comic book rack and past issues. Selection is very limited with both present and past issues. They do have supplies like backing boards and sleeves. 2) Model/toy racks and shelves. This takes up a majority of the place. Mini figures, action figure, playing cards, models. They are here. 3) Gaming Table. After being shut for over a year, they are open. I don't know anything about gaming so you have to ask them. Overall four stars. I like the place but when it's windy and doors are open the comic books will be moving around. Now excuse me, kid and me have so reading to......before it disappears. M

The faces were stained (see photo 2 and 4), the kuromi hat was a STICKER (see photo 1). The entire product was smudged and ripping. Even the foot was BACKWARDS (see photo 6). I get that there are replicas of popular name brand product but at least tell me that it is a replica or it's not authentic. OR in the very least have the product not look like shit and paying the same price as an authentic one. These are HORRIBLE. I have my genuine afternoon tea series pochacco next to the box they sold to me and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. The head is crooked, I can see the stitch ripping on its head (see photo 4), and there's a black smudge on his face. This is not worth $30, even if I didn't know what the real one looked like. I WILL NEVER BE SHOPPING HERE AGAIN. As a small business owner, I would never sell something of this quality to anyone. This is shameful. Very disappointed in product quality.

My travel companion on this trip told me his wish to do this so I made a point to dedicate time for this. In the early '90's, when my friends and I were annually coming here for the Pro Bowl, we'd wander the strip malls along Kam Highway. After stopping at another nearby store, we found this shop coincidentally right by where I was going to suggest having lunch. As my friend browsed, I studied the glass cases and it reminded me of my request for my Bay Area friend to find me a particular WNBA superstar's card. Not knowing the market price, I bought a card due to its high grade. Here is my purchase and another friend gifted card (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=2HUYa_if69E1-pOb9VNCVw).

I had over 2100 cards and scanned each one on TCG and got a total market value over over $600. When I went in Friday night to bring the cards the manager Stephen was not there but I was helped by a friendly gentleman that took down my information. I was texted Sunday evening by Stephen and offered $153 for everything! I was floored because that was no where near 70% of what the TCG market value was. I declined and he inquired on what price I was looking to get. I said I'd like at least $450 based on the market and being told 70%. He proceeded to say that there were "nearly 1500 cards...and average 30cents/card. No other store is going to offer more than $50 on it." I told him that there were 2182 cards and that we scanned each one. He then proceeded to offer $145 for the cards that "weren't bulk". I told him I'd be by around 5:30 and we could chat. When I arrived I told the young lady I was there to see Stephen. Another gentleman stood up and handed my box of cards. I said Stephen told me that there were some he was interested in. Stephen then came out the back and said these are the ones I want for $145 and if they get mixed in with the others never mind. I said you don't want to negotiate. He said I made my offer and turned and left. I was shocked at the rudeness and unprofessional attitude. I took my box and sat down with my family and counted all the cards to make sure they were all there because after that interaction I had no trust at all. All the cards were accounted for and we got up and left. I would never go back to this establishment based on this experience and advise not to use this business for trade in / sale. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars and not 1 is because his staff were very friendly and kind.

There were a few miniature eye glasses and I saw a hat. Beneath that shelf were a limited amount of Labubus. They had a lot of inventory of items to purchase of perhaps collectibles.
