Kingston, NY - this place is an incredible treasure trove! It's like wandering around in grandma's…read moremega attic if your grandma is cool and has hip taste. It's full of vintage and thrift goods, antiques, collectibles, in every category (housewares, furniture, clothing & accessories, toys, music, decorative objects, utilitarian things, knick knacks, and more). There are two floors, both sprawling. I could get lost in here for hours. My toddler went wild for the vintage Hot Wheels and other cars (back when they were solidly constructed of weighty, real metal) so of course we had to buy a few. We were there just as the winter holidays were gearing up, and the owner was so nice and didn't charge us for the Christmas ornament. We started a tradition of each family member having a special ornament every year and this was the kiddo's.

Whenever I go up to visit the in-laws in Kingston I ALWAYS stop in at Half Moon Books. This is the…read morekind of used bookstores that I LOVE. Shelves are very well organized-even when they get in a large load of books, they make sure they keep the place as organized as possible. Stopped by this morning and, as usual, I found something to buy (which always annoys my wife...I think I might buy something even if I DIDN'T want it just to see the look on her face). Seriously, stop by and check out Half Moon Books...great selection, fair prices, and worth rummaging through the stacks...

This is a very cool shop. There is so much to look through, so you can spend a long time there…read more They have new comics, old comics, vintage video games (for Atari and NES), and even an arcade in the back. I enjoyed the array of pinball and other game cabinets in the back. Every play is 25-50 cents so you also won't blow off a lot of money playing there for a while. All in all this store has something for something for everyone and if you want a fun stop in Rhinebeck, this is the place.

While the shop isn't huge, they've…read moresmartly arranged everything to include 5 gaming tables - perfect for card matches and tournaments. The well-thought-out layout ensures players have comfortable space to enjoy their games, and you'll still find a solid selection of cards and comics throughout the store. Loved sitting here with my fiance combing through the cards. Prices ramged from 10 cents to a $1. The owner's friendly presence also makes it a welcoming spot for both casual players and dedicated collectors. For a local gaming shop, they've really maximized what they have. Five stars for creating such a functional, inviting space. I cannot wait to be back when im in the area.

This is THE store in the Hudson Valley to come to if you are into collecting current comics, or are…read morelooking to get into a Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh tournament. The owner is the coolest guy. He is very knowledgable of all things current in the comic world, knows people in the industry, has artist appearances to sign books and will happily talk to you about any comic related issue you may have. He will happily set up your pull list with discount prices for doing so. The very large inventory of current and near current books, both majors and independents, are neatly bagged and boarded on shelves. You can frequently find the last ten issues of any story available on the shelf for their cover price. While there are not boxes and boxes of back issues in the store, they will always happily track down any issue(s) you need to acquire. The store also has a good selection of "kids" comics for the young readers. Additionally, Alterniverse has a large supply of all the card games, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon: decks, boosters and singles. And what comic store would be complete without the action figures and "higher end" collectables that are nicely displayed. The store has moved across the street from its former home and is very spacious. I am actually surprised not to see more comments here, as the store is invariably full of people all the time. There is a constant schedule of MAgic and Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments going all week. Frankly, I love this store and only wish I lived closer to it. It is the only place you should go if you are looking for comics in upstate NY.

You can't ask anyone for help because they have no idea where anything is. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. They also seem to only care about the people buying their scalped Pokémon cards.

Recently a dealer looked at the piece and hologram and said they believed the autograph and hologram were not good so at my own expense I sent to Beckett and it came back as not an authentic signature or hologram. The seller (Chris at Junkdrawer) would not refund stating they do not guarantee pieces over 30 days, so If you are buying anything from this seller be prepared to spend the additional time and money to verify with PSA/Beckett/JSA or be out the money you spend.

The store has a bit of everything for everyone, just shelves and shelves of stuff you could spend hours looking at. We left with some amazingly unique and eccentric items, even scoring a deal after some negotiating. An amazing store and an amazing owner.
