In all seriousness, I miss just going to a comic book store and hanging out from when I was a child. This place fills that void and is legit a haven for the comic book afficionados.

Treasure Island Comics is easily one of my top 10 favorite comic shops. Their back issue selection…read moreis incredible with rows of long boxes packed with everything from Silver Age classics to modern and recent current releases. I could spend hours just digging and is easy to navigate. Their graphic novel section is just as strong, thoughtfully curated with top writers and artists kept in mind. The weekly new release selection is always on point, I love walking that wall of newly released comics and finding something new. Alex, the owner, is genuinely kind and approachable. The shop has that Cheers-like vibe where you can talk comics with the owner and other collectors without feeling rushed. If you're in the Bay Area and love comics, this shop is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

From multiple extremely kind vendors, are small businesses set up around the warehouse to browse and I could honestly spend hours walking around looking at everything! I was here for pokemon specifically, and luckily I found what i was in search of, but there are about 2-3 of the vendors that sell pokemon product, while 1-2 of them specialize in pokemon while also at a great price! I also noticed the largest collection of Pop Funko i've ever seen, along with walls and isles of action figures, Hot wheels, Comic Books, and some of the friendliest, and knowledgeable staff you'll come by! Definitely stop in whether you're looking for something specific or maybe a few different items, they just might have what you're looking for! (Written by a newer collector)

The cons: some items are definitely significantly above online prices but I can't really fault them for it being brick and mortar so they have higher expenses. Just a heads up to folks expecting to find under retail. Prices still way better than other stores like Legends which have just gone terribly downhill.

More critically, their prices for Pokémon cards appear to be well above current market value, resembling scalper pricing. Unless you're comfortable paying a premium, it's worth checking other retailers. Well they're have a huge selection of Pokemon cards from various English to Japanese. They have a lot of other types of cards as One Piece or Digimon and they have a huge selection of Funko Pops.

The collection rivals even Superman's Fortress of Solitude in scope, with DC titles spanning decades of legendary storytelling.

If you're into card collecting, Comics Conspiracy is the only shop in the area that doesn't grossly mark up their prices on cards. Excellent value all around!

What a gem in Fremont!!…read more The employees here are always super friendly and the book selection keeps me coming back. There is something here for everyone's interest. I love how there is a great selection of cute gifts designed by local artists as well as community events. The children's section is inviting and offers so many books for all ages levels. I usually stop here before visiting Asia to pick up books for my niece and friends' kids. I'm always able to find an age-appropriate book that suits their current interest here. You can count on finding the latest and greatest titles here for prices that are super reasonable. Need help finding a book? The employees here are always happy to help!

This may be my favorite used bookstore yet!…read more The ladies working there were so welcoming and friendly. They let me and my boyfriend in a few minutes before opening so we could get out of the cold. So thoughtful. The selection was amazing. I snagged some older titles and then came across a table with some newer titles and all $6 and under. What a bargain. Will absolutely be back!

At first I couldn't find this place because there was a mini golf set up in the courthouse square…read more I had to literally walk around the block and saw these signs that read "used books" "this way" haha. This place is really hole-in-the-wall basement ish warehouse type feel bookstore. The prices are amazing for the used books. It is incredibly reasonably priced. I found two children's books in very good quality for $1 each. What a steal! For the most part, don't expect finding hot new bestsellers in here. This place is like for book antiques or if you need a used copy of something that might be a few years back. It was good for what I needed since I'm looking for some older historical fiction books about the American revolution. I was surprised to find two books here that I needed and so maybe you'll get lucky too! The couple who owns this place are very friendly. They said hi right upon me walking in. Selection is pretty wide, the books genres are organized in a neat way but the books themselves are scattered. For example, the fiction and nonfiction adult books are alphabetical order by last name but the children's books are not. It made things harder for me to look but I didn't mind since I had time. If you're in a rush then maybe this place isn't the best or just ask the lady up front for help! Overall this place is a gem and the proceeds go to a good cause--San Mateo historical foundation!

I have been a customer of the Fremont branch of Half Price Books for several years now. Because of…read moretheir extensive selection of books I have been able to read many hard to find books for a reasonable price. I have also ordered from them online with the same positive results. I have also sold many books and other items as well. They do not pay very high prices for the objects. I would check prices before selling there. However, the convenience (they take a very large range of items) can be worth it on its own. They can save you time by not having to try several places that may reject the items because they don't fit their exact customer preferences. Half Price Books is willing to take a lot of items because they are large enough to find a buyer. Finally, I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful every time I have been there so far.
