The coolest part is the single card collections. The people here are absolutely friendly. Chatted up with Ivan for a while and he was really cool helping me learn and showing me a bunch of cool collections. Highly recommend stopping here if you're ever in town.

You can also ask for binders to sit and look thru. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Cards were priced around market value or a slight upchange which is fair enough. We had fun browsing and even left with a handful of cards for my collection

There's always something new, the store is always super quiet and chill, and the people working register are always exceptionally nice and helpful. Even if you don't end up leaving with a crazy huge statue, they have a bunch of Japanese drinks and snacks at the front of the store for purchase. Sometimes I go simply to pick up a strawberry milk and red bean ice cream taiyaki, and they are delicious! It's just a really neat place to vibe to anime music and try to find your favorite video game and anime characters in figure form!

I've been collecting comics for over 30 years and it is great to find a small comics shop that simply just sells comics. Plenty of titles all labeled and categorized. Wall books and variants for those display collections. New comics also available. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about how to find anything you're searching to collect. The prices are also very favorable to the wallet. I will definitely be stopping by again to help fill in those run gaps.

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!

But you can tell there's a lot of gaming love here. So much promotional signage I've never seen before. And mountains of cards and games in the back. We didn't have to pay for a table. And the prices for cards and games are very fair. The few times we asked questions, they were answered promptly. And if it matters to you, they have lots of terrain here for miniature games. Parking was very easy. I'll most likely be coming back here.

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!

They make my boys feel like royalty there. The store gets busy sometimes but they still manage to greet everyone and help them all quickly! They are very fair with their trade-ins as well. My son is always trading his cards in, and I make sure he knows what their value is before we ever enter the store. They will make a fair offer and tell you straight-up "we need to allow a small margin for the store". In other words they're honest right up front and tel you why they value something how they do. Really appreciate the employees and selection here. Definitely recommend them to anyone into Pokémon or sports cards! Thanks again guys!
