Do not pay attention to the negative reviews on here. Especially the most recent one. I have been a customer of Grand Slam for over 10 years and like it better with the newest owner. Most of the negative reviews on here are from people that did not get there way for items they were wanting. Most recent example is individual tried to buy a box single cards that are marked $1 each (most of the cards in this box book $3 to $5) - there were aprox 300+ cards in the box and the guy offered him $35 - that is .10 cents per card - these are not common players! I sell common players at local sports card shows for .10 each. In short he was trying to rip off the store. Then the others recent issue of a comic book he bought for $20 and marked $200. Rick marks all items at book value or double ebay and then discounts from their. Anyone that goes into Grand Slam would know as he plainly has signs out 1/2 off. I asked how much he wanted for the comic in question and he said $35 to $40 due to condition. For the others that are complaining about paying ebay prices they are wanting to buyer cheaper so they can sell on ebay. Rick is the only local card shop in the Charlotte, NC area that I know that sells at ebay value. All the others (4) want full book or close to it for...
Read moreTake my experience with a grain of salt. I went in on a day where many people were searching for an updated box of 2024 Topps Chrome baseball cards, many of these people probably didn’t know what they were supposed to buy but they were wanting to get in on on the bounty hunt for the 1 of 1 Paul Skenes rookie card. I’m knowledgeable enough to know what I was looking for and I noticed they didn’t have any of the updated boxes in stock. Unfortunately for the other customers who didn’t know any better , they were being sold boxes that had absolutely no chance of having the card. From what I could tell, as I browsed cards and eavesdropped, the employees also knew those boxes wouldn’t have a chance to hold the card. Yet they sold them anyways, under the guise that they could have the card.
Honesty and integrity are very important not just in business but buying and selling collectibles as well.
My transaction was good but everything was a little shady...
Read moreFor the only comic book/collectible store in Rock Hill it's actually pretty decent. Nice size, decent layout. That might not sound like much, but when compared to a place like Rebel Base in Charlotte, which has a superb selection, but has an almost cluttered feeling. It really does make difference to be able to walk around easily, or even sit and look through comics or cards. The people in the store have been friendly with me. But I don't go to a comic book store for customer service. I look for the selection and for negotiable prices. Which this place has, mainly with the latter. More than once I've gotten reduced prices on comics and magic cards. The real reason I wanted to post this is because I saw someone complaining about not being able to use their e-cig/vape in the store. This should be a no brainer. A great enemy of comic books, and most collectibles like baseball or magic cards, especially in the South,...
