My son called yesterday and today we visited and discovered they have no in-store shopping yet. He was able to get several marvel card packs after standing in a short line before being served at the front door ☺️.

I can only speak on the MTG cards. They had a lot of really old packs. Im talking reeeaaallll old. Singles, sleeves, boxes mats, biders etc. Its a place to buy, not a place to play. For sure a cool place though.

My not-so local comic shop. Been going there for decades. Cool clerks, good selection of comics and action figures, and kid friendly for the younger readers.

This is a great place to purchase Pokémon cards.I’ve spent $360 dollars just to get a good deck.I’ve collected around half the deck I need.This is the best deal around SF.

There is no better card store in SF than Cards and Comics Central. Their staff is top notch, giving advice and information as it pertains to me and my needs.They are doing curbside service during COVID and its been very cool. Prices are affordable too!This place has earned a customer for life. You wont find a better spot!

The wonderful folks; employees and owner of Cards And Comics Central, are some of the nicest, friendly, and welcoming, not to mention educated and caring people, that at least I have come in contact with, since I don’t know when!And these days; acknowledging the impact of COVID 19 respectfully, there are a lot of “Grumpy, bad mooded “ individuals roaming in the work force. ( But at least they have Jobs to go to.)This amazing Comic book and Cards trading/selling place thrives of plentiful and superb, rare memorabilia, second to none.Located right off of Geary between 18th and 19th Ave in the City by the bay.San Francisco was smiling on us, on this day. And our shopping, exploring, trading and selling needs where satisfied above and beyond!Thank you Herbert and Team!We’ll spread the good word, and shall return soon !!!5 Stars of course! All smiles !!!

In response to Baseball History, This customer(child) was totally obnoxious from the beginning. I have been in the business for 30+ years and have not experience a child with such attitude. He would refuse to give me any sort of list of the books he was looking for. Our older inventory is in storage. He would give me one book at a time. I explained to him that it would be more efficient to give me a list of the books he was looking for that I check our stock . He would refuse to do so for some reason. When I pulled the silver age books he was looking for he totally mishandled the books by picking them up by the corners causing the books to bend. For a customer who claims he purchase books and an Amazing Spider-man #1 absolutely does not know how to handle books. I asked him several time please handle the books more carefully. He ignored my request. The one book in particular (Captain America 111) regarding tanning was a white cover book. For a 50+ year old book it will have light to moderate tanning in this grade(OW) in this grade. From the beginning this customer kept pointing out all of the flaws. Based on my experience the book was in F+/VF conservatively. As in his review he confirms this book to be in VF with moderated off white cover. This obnoxious child is a bottom feeder treating businesses like a flea market seller. In the 30 years I have been in business this is the first that I have encounter a child of his age to be so arrogant and condescending. I guess there is always a first.

Fun place. Lots of books with great prices and friendly staff. They enjoyed the Paige Turner Reading is Sexy t shirt. They also had older books dating back to 1930 and 40s. Among some cool books and graphic novels I got a Very Best of WCW Monday Nitro DVD for a dollar.

This is probably the biggest comic book store in the city. With the widest selection Ive seen in the city. The staff is friendly and willing to take the time to show you where things are. Definitely one of the friendlier comic book stores.

Their selection is UNBELIEVABLE! They have everything from vintage comics and toys to the really expensive collectible figures from Sideshow and Hot toys. The staff is really nice and very helpful.If you can only go to one comic book store in your lifetime, GO TO THIS ONE!!!Well, what are you waiting for?

Review №33

After looking into Bay Area shops for Japanese imported figures, I think this one was the better ones in terms of size and selection but not organization. Plenty of Play Arts Kai figures and SH Figuarts available but hard to pinpoint them. They definitely have a good selection, I was able to see some more uncommon figures available. Prices vary but seem typical. Ive never made a purchase here yet though since I havent found anything Ive been looking for at a sale price but I do like stopping by to try and find one!

THE ONLY CARD STORE THIS SIDE OF THE PANHANDLE - Cards n Comics holds tournaments for most major trading cards and hosts an extensive gallery of collectibles. GUARANTEED to capture the attention of the youngest nerds to the oldest collectible connoisseurs, Cards and Comics is a diamond in the rough. The prices are typical of any comic shop. Stop by after your coffee break and see what Batmans up to in his latest escapade, or even learn how to play a card game in one of their constructed tournaments.

I got my first Hot Toys figure from them a couple of weeks ago and had been there only a couple of times prior but they have shown already that they are truly fantastic. Since there are sooo many high priced figures on the wall to choose from I felt uneasy at first asking to see one but was immediately made comfortable after they showed me one and the employee himself asked if there was anymore I wanted to see. Even though I wasnt purchasing anything that day in particular he took the time to get a ladder and bring down a few figures to look at. Ace customer service!

If youre into collectible card games, comics or other pop culture items, this is the place for you. But be prepared by saving up a lot of money, because there is a very wide selection of items to choose from. For my particular situation, they had an expensive item I wanted to buy in storage. The item was not on display, but I was eventually able to buy the expensive item. The place may seem cramped on the inside, but the customer support by the store staff is helpful and excellent. The only drawback is that from the outside, a person cant tell it is a comic and collectibles store unless he or she knows what they are looking for and actually looks at the window displays(there is a lit-up Cards and Comics Central store sign and various pop culture items on visual display). The stores exterior is very nondescript. But once you enter inside, you will have an experience of a lifetime.

Review №45

Surprised at how rude this place is. They use the word child in a condescending way to try and put younger people down. I was trying to find a gift for someone as well as fill in my runs. I gave them a very clear list. They spent about half an hour back looking for them, stating multiple times that I was wasting their time. Then they showed me a collection they had recently purchased. It was a stack of silver age Captain Americas with no bags or boards.Their prices, (as I stated) were very overpriced. I also explained to them how I was not looking for key issues becuase I was not looking to spend a lot of money. They did not listen. I was holding the book correctly - They claimed I was bending it. If your worried about the condition then put the comics in a bag and board. I think that its just a level of disrespect that is the most surprising. Its not even the comics. They overgrade/overprice their comics, and make you feel bad if you point them out on this. Note to Cards and Comics Central: Next time treat your customers right if you want them to have a positive experience.

Review №49

I found the service pretty good though there was one time that they had a hard time counting change but thats pretty common among young cashiers -- the comics are all bagged and boarded in advance and they have a great selection of the latest from DC, Marvel, IDW, and more! The place always seems busy and its the only store I know in San Francisco where I can get bags, boards and boxes. They really need to update their website, with ads from 2008??

My favorite comic book shop in the city! Freaking awesome selection for Heroclix, Magic the Gathering, action figures, busts/sculptures/figurines, and new/old comics! Which are the reasons I go here. Staff is really knowledgeable and helpful! Checkout process is a bit confusing every time because they always seem to be busy whenever I go in, but I guess busy is a good thing for a comic book store :-)
