Really fun little card/comic book store! They have a really balanced offering of both trading cards (Pokemon, sports, Magic, etc.), comic books, and Funko Pops! It was fun to go there and look around. The prices are on the higher end, as with any physical store, but we did buy some Funkos at a good price (and they have a buy 3 get 1 free deal!). The staff are very friendly. My only complaint is that it is a bit hard to enter and you have to press a doorbell and wait for them to let you up. We pressed it a few times and they didn’t respond at first so we almost walked away thinking it was closed.

I love the feel and look of the store, just not a good place to buy. The staff is friendly but almost everything has scalper prices. I understand a mark up on items that are no longer in print but even new releases will be marked up. For me, its only a place of last resort as the prices you get are on par with what you can get on eBay.If you are looking to enter a hobby, this not a good place to start off. If you are know what prices should be, this might be good place to find some items that you need.

I absolutely love this place. Great variety and Great prices. Great staff. My only gripe is that you guys close so early. Its a sad life loving Montasy but getting off work at 7 😭.

Hahaha scummiest business. We called to ask what their prices were after seeing some of the negative comments here, and they refused to give pricing over the phone because it’s against their ‘policy’ and suggested I just come in. How to say ‘I’m a scalper!’ Without saying ‘I’m a scalper’ 😂

I came here during my stay at New York and it was IMPRESSIVE! The workers were extremely polite and helpful. Compared to any other store Ive been to, theyre stock of Pokemon tcg was hard to believe. They had great variety and amazing prices.

Store is in a convenient location but for a local card shop they are not very friendly. While the people working the cash register are very polite and knowledgeable about their products, management is rude. Each time I have been I have had an uncomfortable and irritable experience with the manager. The shop has a decent selection of products however compared to other shops prices are high and they do not like negotiating either. Disappointing experience

Our son wanted some Pokémon cards while we were here in NY on vacation and we found this place online. We found their prices to be a bit high compared to others but since we don’t know the area well and didn’t want to wander around looking for another place we just decided to go ahead and get them here. Once we got back to the hotel we noticed that the $10 booster pack was very poorly melted closed. It had obviously been tampered with/resealed. Not sure if it was by the store or their distributor but it was extremely disappointing.

They have a really good selection of trading cards and other related items. Make sure to look for entrance is a side door and they are on the second floor

Great little store with friendly staff and a nice selection of Pokemon cards. They went out of their way to package my items for me to fly home. Much appreciated!

Went on a walk during lunch and stumbled upon this jewel. This place was really nice and staff was super helpful. Am looking forward to seeing what events they can have once they figure out that schedule!

Good selection of quite a variety of things with a few deficiencies. Upon walking in I see a booster box for evolving skys. They said it was 188, fair enough, gotta make a buck. Made our selections and checked out, was then told that booster box was 208 and they had the wrong price. $6 a pack is what that comes to which is the same as they were selling them for individually. Also selling fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards as singles.

Great store with lots to look at. No Yu-Gi-Oh products though

Bit pricey for what I normally go in for but not enough to keep me from patronizing. Staff is very nice.

I used to go in person, and everyone is very friendly and welcoming - they remembered me after having just come in once. Now that I don’t work around the area, I just order online. I go to them for Pokémon cards. The prices are a little above the original retail, but nothing too crazy. Maybe at most $15 above? (Depending on the demand for the product). I like that they have older booster packs and not just battle styles.

Great little card shop. Love that I can Pokémon cards here

This is one of my favorite card/comic book shops. Ive been a customer of theirs for about 12 years now.

Amazing but not many customization sleeves and matsEspecially for duel monsters

They have many different items to choose from from comics to baseball cards. It is a very small store but neat and organized. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Really clean and friendly store. Plenty of single binders to look through.

Fairly overpriced single and sealed MTG. Should consider moving to a market pricing like TCG player to avoid scamming customers. Otherwise very cute store :)

Havent been here but was looking at the pictures and saw a customer posted a booster pack darkness ablaze tampered with that u can see very detailed I was very excited coming here now 🤔🤷

Great atmosphere, fully stocked across sports.. highly recommend

You have to be their before they sell out of hot titles for Comics. This is more of a card store which they have a lot of. Cards are hot and the prices reflect it!

Are you looking to get ripped off? Have you always wanted to pay double, or even TRIPLE retail price for cards? Well, head on over to Montasy Comics. Where youll have to waste precious time just to find that it is the most overpriced and expensive card store in all of USA. There are plenty of other shops out there with excellent customer service who will provide you with answers and prices. Not only that, but they wont treat you like a criminal when youre inside their store. It is no wonder that they dont provide prices over the phone. If they did, not one soul would show up. I highly recommend that you call GAMING UNIVERSE in flushing before making a purchase at Montasy Comics. When you hear the price difference you will black list this establishment for good.

Great location in/around times square...selling yu-gi-oh singles and set boxes. Great customer service and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend the casual to hard core duelist pop in and get their game on

Had a wide selection of trading cards in stock the time I went. Im personally into pokemon and got a battle styles single strike urshifu elite trainer box, a chilling reign ghost rider calyrex elite trainer box (before the actual release day!), and a couple of ultra prism booster packs. They had sun and moon and sword and shield single packs, booster boxes, and single cards. Youll have to buzz in to get inside and its on the 2nd floor. Overall a great shop with lots of awesome products (not just trading cards. They have pop figures, comics, etc.). Only downside Id say is that their prices are a bit more expensive than MSRP but thats expected in these times of the trading card shortage and demand for the products. Thanks so much!

Not one of my favorite comic shops but still a good place to shop if you don’t mind paying a bit more than retail!

I love going shopping here. I feel so excited every time I get a chance to go.

They have the tcg products you want but at scalper prices.

They are always fair priced, at market value of what ever is out, always quick with the turn around and just a great place to support! Happy to have found them and much rather shop at a local business like them than a big box any day of the week.

I felt like they were breathing down my back,I felt so uncomfortable for the 3 minutes I was there,

The staff was very cold and not welcoming and the space itself was very sterile. While trying to look at the comics, one of the workers was vacuuming all around us. They seemed annoyed we were there. We did come 30 min before closing, but no one else was there, so you would think they would appreciate some business (we did make a purchase). The selection of comics was very very small and underwhelming. They had more toys than comics. If you are looking for a large selection of comics and a fun atmosphere, this is not the place for you.

The staff that helped me was knowledgeable and courteous. Also, they have some very hard to find items on sale

First time walking through the doors for an mtg draft of m20. Was greeted on entry and signed up for the tourney quickly. I sat down and chatted with some fellas playing as I munched on reeses pieces. players were friendly and really knowledgeable. Saw some great decks being played in the legacy format that was running at the same time. Will be back!

Amazing place they have tons of great buys. I highly recommend picking some stuff up from here and the staff was helpful and very knowledgeable

I called to ask the price of a Commander Legends Booster Box to which they replied that they do not give out prices over the phone. I live in Queens and apparently I am supposed to drive an hour to the city to find out a price.Aside from that, their prices are insanely excessive even for Manhattan and from the few times I have been there, the customer service is awful. You have someone constantly watching your every move as if youre doing something wrong. Nonetheless, it is nice to have a cardshop available in the city where there are not many.

Friendly staff n good collection.

Can I give 0 stars? Good. Ordered a couple Pokémon etb preorders for 100$ Each. now a day before release they tell me they can only give me two instead of the 3 I payed for 2 months ago. Oh and also they raised the price to 140. So they ordered 3 for me, only going to give me 2, and selling the 3rd to the highest bidder. Scum

Jimmy Runs A World Class All In One Sports Gaming Hobby Shop With Great Customer Service. Very personable.

Good attention and variety

They have all the MTG things Im looking for. Fair prices for the city, including boroughs.

Poor customer service, they will not tell you how much an item is thus making you travel there and when you do they try price gouging you, way overpriced better off ordering directly from topps or panini ☝💯

Can’t wait for this place to go out of business. Completely overpriced cards and incompetent staff to boot!

Very overpriced and they changed their membership discount rate lower than what I signed for in the agreement. The worst part of it is that the membership discount does even include have the merchandise in the store

Always a good time even if I dont buy anything.

Had a wonderful MTG prerelease experience here. Great staff, friendly opponents.

Great little shop, always have good inventory, priced at online market for most items

Great selections but can be pricy

Very organized and very helpful!

DONT COME HERE ITS A RIP OFF I PAID 20 bucks for one pokemon pack.

Prices not great but helpful staff

Cool store and friendly staff!

Awesome place workers are helpful and friendly.

Comics and Cards...Marvel, DC, Magic, Pokémon, nice back issue wall. Excellent customer service

Cute store and good collection. The people were friendly

Montasy is a gem! I went there with my 11-year-old son and they very patiently answered every single question he asked (and then some). He was able to trade some Pokemon cards for store credit so he could, you guessed it, get more cards! Great merch & honest/ethical/nice people. Highly recommend!

This store tried to over charged me by $20 for a brand new released book.I called to see if they had Batman issue 39 they said they did it would hold it for me. I arrived an hour later and they tried to charge me $25 on the First market book which was still only worth $5. This is against the law. I was asked you to buy two other books but I walked away I have spent good money here in the past and we never returned. I also noticed other books being over F charged but nothing like this.I have been collecting 40 years.Please everyone go to midtown comics two close locations alone. Also on the east side is Hailey comet not too far away they also take care of you.

The staff is attentive and pleasant, and they have a nice assortment of product.

Great service & selection. The staff here have always been wonderful. They also hold a ton of events for all sorts of card games such as Magic: The Gathering. Drafts, Commander, Prereleases, you name it. Check their website for the schedule.

Really organized, clean, and has a great community! I was an employee at Montasy from January - May before I had to leave due to a move, and it was nonetheless pleasant. The managers truly do take pride in keeping the store very clean and organized for the customers, and always have smoothly running events.Some reviews complain of bad refund policy or that the staff is trying to rip you off when they wont give you 50$ for a Pokemon card. Not only do they have a great selection of cards and merchandise, but the managers are very knowledgeable in comics, card games, etc. Adam Gonzales was my manager and he is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people I have met!Overall Montasy Comics is not only a great place to work but an equally great place to shop or join events.

Love this place, Im so glad it has survived the rona madness. Hopefully it can one day return to the whole tournament and draft mtg and such nights.

Too picky with clients

Great space with lots of friendly employees. They will do their best to help you find what you need and will even offer advice for card games. There is also an event calendar with tournaments and pre release schedule on it. Definitely check this place out

Made a online purchase super fast shipping package very well would definitely recommend will do business again

My son found exactly what he was looking for with the help of a fantastic staff member. Well definitely be hoping back the next time were in the city!

Excellent mix selection of comics, trading cards of Magic the Gathering and other game franchises, and some space for tournaments and socializing. Been ages since my last visit but the atmosphere is usually friendly despite me coming and going in a business like manner. Staff is very helpful.

Gud store.. excellent customer service. !!!

Wouldnt recommend for Magic the Gathering:Cards at Montasy are more expensive than youll find elsewhere. Staff is patronizing and has that Oh boy Im in charge! energy, which I tried to overlook, because magic -- folks just want to have a good time right? But thatll come into play if theres an issue - as might happen during a tournament. In my case there were technical issues in a pretty ridiculous attempt at an online tourney, a lack of players (cant imagine why) and judges deciding that not waiting around by your PC between matches = DQ. None of this is fun. The staff will quickly and arbitrarily decide to tell the customer to grab their ankles and give pseudo-professional responses that I suspect are even ruder and more passive-aggressive than in person.I thought maybe it was just me and one special experienced because of their attempt to put together an online tournament that they messed up. So I asked one of my groups if they had similar experienced at the shop and Ill attach their reply:Bottom line: tons of better priced, welcoming and accommodating lgss for magic in Manhattan and elsewhere.

Very friendly local game store with an active Magic: The Gathering community. The only real issue is that their MTG singles are well above market price. While stores need to make money, there is little reason to buy singles from here rather than online sellers.

Poor customer service and extremely overpriced.

The folks at Montasy are knowledgeable and friendly. This seems to be the type of place that attracts team members that really love comics and games. Its more a comic and collectibles/collectible card games store than a board game store but theyre very good at that. They regularly have scheduled play in their game area too. If I could change one thing, I wish they sold some better snacks to eat while youre playing.

One of the best selection of single mtg cards. Very well organized and big selections of standard and non-standard. Staff is always friendly and super helpful!

Never in my would I imagine a store treating a loyal customer soooo poorly. I had my bag stolen right off the table where I was opening packs. A bag containing a weeks worth of my chemo medication.(leukemia).Once I noticed my bag was gone I asked the working the counter to call the police, she refused, saying if you want to call you can.So, I did, once the police came I asked them if they wanted to retrieve footage from the store, at which time the officer said honestly, theres not much that can be done.... right. So, I took things into my own hands and called NBC news to see if they would show the video on the news to see if anyone recognized the guy who stole my bag. NBC asked me to retrieve the video from the store so they could do a story on this robbery.Montasy refused!!!!! Stating that they would only release the video to the police, those same police who said theres nothing that could be done. I even asked if they would email it directly to the news station....they refused and told me this is the last time they would be respondingI had spent close to $2000 in that shop in 5 weeks and this is how they treated not only a customer, but a human being whos chemotherapy medication was stolen by another one of their customers. All I wanted was the video of the incident. Is that too much to ask?!?!

The managers know their stuff and will help you find anything sports, comics or gaming. The other employees do not know their stuff that well but will help. But do not go to the skinny kid that works there. He has been there more than a year and he still struggles with any question or just flat out gives you the wrong answer. Honestly a white board with frequently asked questions would be more helpful that that kid and you would not have to pay the board a salary or a rock bc you can use the rock as a paperweight.

Nice place, lots of Funko Pops

Had my stuff stolen here, came back a week later and saw a guy playing with my stolen cards. He refused to give them back, wouldn’t let me look at them or make eye contact with me. Told the staff, they refused to help, kept telling me to send them an email about it. In the process of working with the police. This store is known for fostering theft and refuses to change the culture. Stay far away.

I came in looking for individual Pokemon cards. They had a small case for GX, prism star cards, etc, but not a lot of regular rares. They have a couple of small partially-filled binders, but many of the cards in them were from XY or earlier. Overall a small selection compared to other places Ive been. Some of the staff working there at the time didnt seem very present and made me move around a lot while I looked in the binders. I ended up getting a few good cards, but Ill have to go somewhere else to look for more.

Lovely hidden comic book shop near midtown! Nice staff and nice selection of cards, comics! I appreciate their community!

The fact that they dont give out prices over the phone is disrespectful to their customers. Imagine driving an hour, thinking youll pay $100 for a booster box and end up getting charged $180. Is that the type of store you want to support? Not me.

Came to play an MTG pre-release event here whilst in the city. Found the staff very unfriendly and unhelpful and was made to feel like an outsider by most of the people there. There was a few of nice people but one in particular, was losing, tried to cheat and then got angry and argumentative when he was caught out. If you are looking for an inclusive, welcoming environment go somewhere else.

Pretty good place to come in for some quick drafts; People are nice, the space is clean and the atmosphere is not overly competitive. A bit expensive but the prizes make up for it.

Price so ok

I purchased a ticket to a pre-release event for myself and my partner, but when my partner couldnt attend, rather than attempting to be understanding (she had been there the day before), they dragged their feet, couldnt offer a refund in-store and pushed me to email only. They wouldnt even offer for me to pick up a kit at a later date, citing that she was a just a no-show and thus I forfeited the ticket. They then sold the kit later to another person (good deal for them, selling 1 kit twice). Overall, no sense of understanding or empathy for local TCG players.

Its a hidden gem. Been here 3 times and staff is helpful.

Great place to come and get your inner Nerd on! Competitive pricing on almost all products I checked out and great events going on almost always!

Good store overall. They have some comic books, but it caters heavily to card games, especially Magic the Gathering. It’s location on one of the richest streets in the city makes it a distinct place from all the shopping and bustle. I hope they host events on the MLP card game. It be great to see that in action.

Good service. Good comic selection. Magic the Gathering selection and prices are a bit above average. They run excellent MTG events.

The selection wasnt amazing when it came to comics. They had customers in the back. I was browsing but no one offered to help me in my search. The two gentleman just stood and waited idly by, one staying seated. The other gentleman with eyeglasses, was on his phone the whole time. And the two women just did the same, one of them sitting down and the other was just standing by the computer closest to the tables and chairs, staring off into space. Coming from a shop from upstate, I expected better customer service from a shop on 5th Ave in NYC. The one star is for their poor service and failure to attempt to try to help me in my search for an item or items to purchase. They didnt seem interested in making a sale or working to make a sale for that matter. My advice to management is to find better workers who actually want to work to help the store and not just to hang out or text like how they do on their free time.

Collectors dream.... They have the best stuff around. Where other nearby stores lacked they made up for it. Definitely stopping by again and hoping I can join one of the tournaments they host! Thanx for the help again guys!

A hidden gem! It may take you a while to find it but its well worth it! They gave a great variety of both comics and reading card games. Definitely check it out, its great!

A great place for comics and for card players. You can also find son collectibles toy figures. Every night there have tournaments and set tables for the players and everything, youll love it if you are into card games.

Usually a decent store for sports cards stocked with new releases. I wont be returning though as I called earlier to inquire about a price of a box and they told me they werent allowed to tell me the price. This was weird as they usually list prices online. The place isnt easy to get to and on a cold Winter day, itd have been nice for them to tell me price of the product.

The clerk was nice and tried to be helpful but they didnt have any of the (many) magic the gathering singles I was looking for

The selection is awsomw.you can buy single cards of magic the gathering.tables for in store matches.great staff

One of my new favorite places to go hangout and play magic the gathering. also a great place to buy and trade, they also do store credit for single cards.

Friendly service.

Good selection of cards plenty of staff so you dont wait around they also have some less mainstream stuff like old busts of super heroes that might be out of circulation. The main thing they focused on is community, they have a proper area for people to sit down and play its most of the store. I was looking for some help getting started with the new dragon ball super trading card game. The persons working the counter were not too familiar with it instead they pointed out some regulars who were already playing it there who had no problem with me sitting in to watch a few games and even answered some questions I had.

Extremely nice staff. Regular events are always fun. The chairs could be better but the people (staff and customers) make it a fun place to play. Montasy has quickly become my regular hobby shop and I recommend it to all of my friends.

Nice people but very small selection. Mostly focused on American publishers.

Its a nice change up from a regular comic store there more geared towards magic gamers and cards then comics. They have some new but mainly bronze and silver dollar stuff that they sell for 6-10 a book. Definatley wouldnt buy from them comics wise. Cards though yes 100%!
