This is a very cool place. Immediately upon entering, a nice lady greeted us and asked if this was…read moreour first time here. She explained that nine different people own and run sections out of this store, and to come to her or anyone else if we have questions. Books, books, books galore! Not to mention, a fantastic use of so much space. You might not know where some things are, but it makes for a heck of an adventure. They do have some areas marked, such as children's and dvds, but everything else is like looking for treasure within the Cave of Wonders. It smells like old-timey books, and you are immediately transported to another time where life was so much simpler and more beautiful. This was the highlight of my day, and I'd recommend this shop to any book lover stopping by Grass Valley.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the good people at A-1 comics. The owner Brian is a…read moregreat guy who knows his stuff and gave me a fair offer for my comic collection which I sold off this past spring. Bailey was also great to work with as he was the person I sold the most to. You must know you will not get full market value for your comics or collectibles but what they do offer is fair and didn't feel like a low ball offer at all. I have no complaints or reservations about the overall transactions. My comic collecting days are over but if you're a collector this is the gold standard for Sacramento area comic shops. Between their Wednesday live sales and what seems to be every other month or so 50% back issue sales there are great opportunities to build your collection at fair prices. Their toy/collectible section has really expanded in the past few years particularly at the Auburn location. I'll still pop in from time to time to check out the collectibles. Have found some great stuff in the past! All 3 locations are worth a visit. Staff has always been friendly and everything seems to be well stocked and organized. Give em' a visit if you haven't yet. Lots of treasures to be discovered.

I had a very disappointing experience with this store. I successfully registered for their One…read morePiece pre-release event and made arrangements to attend, including driving approximately 45 minutes to get there. When I arrived, I was informed that the staff had manually removed me from the event without providing any prior notice. The staff member stated that he was in charge of the gaming events and had the discretion to remove registered participants who were not considered frequent or regular players. While I understand that the store may have its own policies regarding event participation, removing someone who successfully registered without any advance communication is disappointing and unprofessional. If a successful registration through the Bandai registration system does not actually guarantee a spot and participation is ultimately at the store's discretion, that should be clearly disclosed on the registration page or event details. Customers should know this before registering and making plans to attend. At a minimum, if the store decides to remove a registered participant, a courtesy call, text, or email should be provided so customers do not unnecessarily rearrange their schedules or make a wasted trip to the store. People have jobs, families, and other responsibilities and have to coordinate their schedules to attend these events. Not everyone has the ability to attend every local event or regularly visit the store. The lack of communication and consideration for customers' time was extremely frustrating. Based on this experience, I would be hesitant to register for another event here.

Today was my first time and here, and no store (or anything, for that matter) has ever made me miss…read morethe 90s more than the time I spent in here. Everyplace I walked, there was a blend of past and present. PlayStation 4 & 5 games, alongside rows of nostalgia that ranged in clothes, toys, accessories, movies, you name it. This store embodies 90s pop culture, and not the hip hop side, but more the alternative (which is what I felt more represented me). I found a dvd I've been looking for months, in just a matter of minutes. The movies are all alphabetized, yo! It's like a thrift store, but so much more. If you were a child of the 80s that lived through the 90s, you will probably appreciate this place . My dvd was only $1.99!

While hanging out in Folsom the other day, my husband and I decided to visit The Cave to see if we…read morecould expand our growing Funko Pop collection. I really liked that the Folsom location had a way bigger selection of Funko Pops than the Arden location. There is so much stuff to look through in general at this location, since it's roomier. I specifically scoured the shelves for some Funko Pops to take home, and came across the cutest Jurassic World one (shown below) that I just needed to buy. I also discovered a beautiful Elvis Funko, but that one I decided to hold off on for now. My husband bought a Mewtwo Funko as well (not shown). Most of the Funkos were in really good condition. There was a Stranger Things Funko that I really wanted but alas the previous owner had damaged the box. From a collector's standpoint, the prices are fair. Of course this location had other collectibles and items for sale, such as clothes, records, and whatnot. I've got plenty of records at home and only want to purchase very specific records these days, so I didn't really bother to look in their record aisles. The staff were friendly and chill. I will definitely return to check for more Funko Pops in the near future!

Pretty large store. One room is full of comics, the other room has comics along with CD, DVDs, and…read moretrading cards. The selection of new comics is not very large. But most of the main comics that would you would expect are there. They have a huge selection of dollar comics. At least 30 boxers. So much fun to look through for some old comics to complete a run. They have a whole long box full of signed comics if you are into that. They also have about 30 long boxes full of complete runs that you can buy. I could spend hours in that store.

If you're looking for a niche spot to fuel your inner nerd this may just be the spot for you. The person behind the counter was helpful and knowledgeable, and created a friendly environment. You'll get your bang for your buck here! Overall, I rate this place a 3.5 out of 5!

The staff is always super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to personalized needs. There is a great selection of back issues, new books, and key issues for all types of comic readers and collectors. I could tell this shop was the place to be after discussing a desire to submit a book to CGC with the owner. He was quick to inform me of all the different CGC options and the different prices. Rather than convincing me to buy a book and have the store submit it for me, he was honest about the value and ensured that I knew what I'd be getting into. This is clearly a shop where the staff are collectors and readers first, aiming to make sure the customer gets the most value for their purchase.

Wow. Super disappointing. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Small and almost zero anime…read more The name of the store is incredibly misleading. I expected a store that calls itself a comic AND anime store to actually have some anime. There was about 7 anime figures and a case of funko pops . No manga either. You're better off just calling the store sac comics. Pretty big comic collection though so if that's what your looking for, than this store should satisfy that.
