Incredible experience at Comic Relief in San Marcos! I had a great conversation with Brian, the…read moreowner, and we were able to work out an awesome trade for an Amazing Spider-Man #3. Brian was fair, honest, very knowledgeable, and made the entire trade easy and enjoyable. That kind of trust and customer service is exactly why we keep coming back. Between the great selection, reasonable pricing, and conversations with people who genuinely love comics, Comic Relief is the kind of shop where you could spend hours. Couldn't be happier with the ASM #3 and the experience!

If you're looking for the heart and soul of the San Marcos comic scene, it's Comic Relief. This is…read morenot just a shop; it's a piece of local history, having opened back in April 1989! That means it has been supplying this college town with comics and collectibles for over 35 years. Run by the incredible Stuart family (Brian, Diane, and their son Kyle), it's the definition of a "mom and pop comic shop" where the owners are genuinely passionate about the hobby. They carry a massive selection of comics, graphic novels, action figures, and trading cards (including Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering). What sets them apart? Their impressive range of collectible vintage comics and sports cards from the 1950s and '60s. Come for the comics, stay for the friendly, personalized service. It's a clean store run with customer respect--a simple secret to 35 years of success!

Met the crew at the San Antonio Collectors Expo, Mikey is really nice and helpful. And the crew is…read morevery approachable. They are knowledgeable about cards and prices. No high balling, and fair prices. Definitely looking forward to visiting the store in person. Update: My fiancé frequents this store often and he loves it. The place is clean and well kept. I've visited a few times and they recognize us. Unlike many card shops in this area, this one tops most of them. Although small, they have great selection and customer service. It's pretty much our go to. Oh I will add, it's kind of hard to see the store front from the street since it's behind one of the big red posts. But it's there, I promise.

Sports, Pokémon, One Piece, and more, it was overwhelming. The guys at the shop were stationed at convenient points through the store so you wouldn't have to look too far for assistance and were cool enough help my fiancé look through things to see if they could find cards of his pro-hockey player uncle. 10/10 recommend this card shop. You could easily spend an afternoon here looking through all the cool stuff.

I literally showed you comp prices on eBay. Which also shows on card ladder for this box selling for 199 the same week of your $599 BEST OFFER price. This is not a $600 box. Period. Again, no reason for me to lie here. I back my statements up with proof. This wasn't a pricing error on one box. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. 6 boxes were the front table with a big blue sign that said $199. In addition, all of the boxes on the table and remaining boxes on the shelf were all individually priced as $199. The big blue sign was indeed as INDOOR ADVERTISEMENT. All you want to concentrate on is me raising my voice and not the real issue here.

Didn't feel cheated at all; you get 50 to 60% of the retail value without hassle and they take on all the resale/overhead costs.

My fiancé was able to leave with a handful of One Piece cards he'd been looking for and we picked up a Pokémon EX card as well. Other customers were looking through their bulk Pokémon cards so I didn't get a chance to myself, but it looked like they had a fair amount. The staff was super friendly and helped us find what we were looking for, but I will mention that there was virtually no reception in store so if there's something specific you're looking for have it pulled up on your phone before heading in. If we're back in New Braunfels I'm sure we'll stop by again. Give this place a shot if you haven't already!
