I recently visited this shop and was impressed right away by the size, layout, and wide variety of…read moreproducts available. They have a great selection and plenty to browse through, which makes the experience enjoyable for collectors of all levels. However, I was a little disappointed that I didn't see any single card boxes to dig through--only sealed blaster and hobby boxes behind the counter. It's possible I missed them, but from what I could tell, singles weren't readily available. The biggest concern for me was the pricing. As a newer collector, I was already a bit nervous about choosing the right boxes, and seeing some items marked significantly higher than retail made me hesitant to buy. For example, the most recent Topps NBA Holiday Box was priced at $60, even though we had just purchased the same box at GameStop for $35 and it's still widely available at that price. Since it doesn't seem to be a rare or hard-to-find product, the markup felt a little excessive. On the positive side, the customer service was genuinely great. The employee who helped us took the time to talk with us and seemed truly willing to assist with anything we needed. That part of the experience definitely stood out in a good way. Overall, while I appreciated the variety and the friendly service, the pricing made me hesitant to spend money during this visit. I may do a bit more research and give the shop another try in the future, but based on this first impression, I wasn't fully comfortable making a purchase yet.

Had to do a double take in pulling up this business to post a review…read more I've known this store since it opened in 1991 when it was located on Lawton Street in San Francisco. Several years later, he moved to downtown Novato which is the last location that I visited. A few years ago and after the world changed in March 2020, he found a larger space here and made the move. He carries a full variety of sports cards and memorabilia as well as hosting games on weekends for Magic and Pokemon fans. He also carries card collecting supplies such as sheets, binders, and cases to frame jerseys. I've been fortunate that we are also casual friends so when I am looking for something, he will look for it or source me to where I can get it. With the recent Giants' outfielder from Asia doing a signing event then cancelling it last month, I asked him to help me get two autographed baseballs, one for a friend and the other for me. He's helped me frame jerseys and I've bought cardholders, sheets, and random sports items to give as gifts for friends. I hope to visit their store, likely when I make a road trip to the North Bay. Ask for founding partner John or his fellow owner Peter.

We bought a game to introduce them to role playing, "No Thank You Evil" which I had read about. We also bought a board game, a card game, and some fun little items. There is lots to explore downstairs and upstairs are tables to play games with friends. The summer and winter camps teach how to play Dungeons & Dragons. We will definitely take advantage of those in the future. The Santa Rosa store is larger than the Petaluma store on Kentucky Street, but there is a lot of merchandise at both. We had a great time exploring and look forward to our next trip. The staff was friendly and helpful which was super appreciated since there is so much merchandise to explore.
