Amazing Heroes — Local services in Union

Not kid friendly!!!!! The owner cusses with his friends and cussed about my kids in his store!!! The monthlies are mostly teen/adult titles with mildly pornographic covers and cuss words and graphic violence inside. All on display on the walls for the kids.

I took my two boys there last week to get a few books. The selection of clean titles is slim, and the owner was busy talking to other customers (hanging out, talking shop, using cuss words we can hear across the store). So it took us 20 minutes or so to choose books. We were ready to check out when the owner and his last friend/customer are walking through the store and I hear him getting upset and huffy because we left a few books out (rather than accurately alphabetically re shelve every book we looked at, we left a few flat on top of others for him to re shelve). Talking to his friend about us so we could hear: "guess I need a sign up to have people's mothers follow them around to clean up after them." If he is such a jerk, how about just a sign that says 'please reshelve books'? Then he steps back and cusses to his friend about my 10 year old because when my son DID reshelve a book it pushed through a few books on the opposite shelf onto the floor, which I picked up and lay flat near where they were. He had the nerve to CUSS about a 10 year old who is there buying books!!!

I wanted to knock him out, but left the store immediately and will never go back. Hope he goes out of business.

The store is mostly tpb graphic novels. Not a good selection of kid friendly titles or classic reprints at all. This was my third and last visit. The first two were passable, he recommended some titles and offered to order stuff for us. And he was good about that. But true colors were revealed when his regular customers came in. Sociopaths.

Maybe an ok store, three stars, if you are a grown man comic tpb collector who likes recent mainstream titles and...

ANYONE SELLING A COLLECTION BEWARE OF DOING SO HERE

Having brought in a card clllection which I knew to be worth several thousand dollars at min, the Owner/manager, who was a friendly guy, don’t get me wrong, looked thru the boxes carefully enough that he certainly managed to ascertain what cards were in there, even going so far as the specifically look up many of the Individual cards.

After over 30-40 min of doing this, He offered less then $200 total for the entire collection.

For comparison sake, the collection was brought to 3 other reputable shops and appraisers in this same area. all 3 other owners/managers readily offered $200 less than 25 cards, out of the collection of more than 500 cards of significant value.

I asked the other 3 what they’d make of another owner/industry knowledgeable person offering under $200 for ALL of the many hundreds of valuable cards in the collection.

The reply across the board was 1 of 2 things: either incompetence, in which case you would never want this shop evaluating your collections value; or total scammery, in which case the shop knowingly tried to get a multi-thousand dollar collection for under...

The owner is very rude and comes off as greedy, Prices are very bad, for Pokémon vintage they sell damaged cards for the same prices as NM and booster box prices are way too expensive, I do not recommend this store I have never left a bad review at any card shop but I’ll make an exception for this one because I’ve came here a few times and been very disappointed at the prices every time, I don’t think any cards here is worth the price and I understand that card shops need to make money but the other prices here are worse than any card store I’ve ever been to and when I come here and see unaware people buy things for 3x Retail that can be found online for retail or under I just feel like the customers are being taken advantage of. Don’t recommend. 1 star

EDIT: I was not trying to pump up any other stores by giving you a bad review, this is an honest review and I am not at all biased I am just a customer who was looking for good card shops in this area and when I went here I had a...
