Collector's Corner

Good: This store has a decent selection for a small comic book store but if you're looking for anything other than comics you're out of luck.. Bad: The owner of this store is very impersonal, he's unhelpful, condescending, has bad hygiene and puts out a creepy aura. It appears that he's aware he has no people skills though and has hired 1 female who employee who has all the qualities he lacks. She's personable and willing to help you find those back issues you need to fill the holes in your collection. If you happen to miss her on your trip you're in for a horrible experience though.. Improvements: Needs more collector's toys like the old Justice friend figures from the 80's and other fanboy stuff. The owner prices everything directly from the pricing catalog rather than cutting any type of deal on his books. Comics are in a down market like most things are due to the economy, makes for bad business if you're looking for a deal. Columbus Book exchange in Columbus has a greater selection and better prices, not to mention the owner Pat is much more friendly and willing to shoot the breeze with you.. Other: Overall, I'd rather buy my stuff off Ebay or go without than go to this store again.. more

The name of this store is a little misleading. You would think that they would have a wide variety of items collectors seek. However, other than a few toys, the Collector's Corner only carries comic books. They have a pretty large selection of older issues, but it may take a little digging to find what you are looking for. Luckily, the owner is friendly and willing to help. He is a little stand offish at first, but if you talk to him he becomes more social. There prices are book value, and he checks when ringing you up. But being that he owns the place I am sure you can cut a deal if you are buying a large lot. Parking is never a problem, but it can be a little tricky to find if you don't know where it is. more
