Friar Tuck's Comics & Collectibles

★★★★★

“I cant speak on the cards or collectibles but this is by far the most amazing comic shop I have ever been to! So so so many comics I cant find anywhere else. As a horror comic fan I have had so much trouble in other shops so I was ecstatic. The staff were incredibly friendly and warm. We were even given a tour of their new space. I went in on a whim and im so thankful I stopped by!”

“Don't normally write negative reviews, but I feel like I must warn people, especially those who are new to tcgs like pokemon and magic, about coming here. They run a perpetual 20% 'sale' to make it feel like you are getting a deal, but in reality everything is priced way above market. Also, they don't have a great system for looking at non-bulk magic singles, you have to sit on a chair looking through slabs while an employee lords over you. The owner just generally gives bad vibes, I would recommend trying other lgs' instead.”

“I've been coming to this store for years since its opening and while I've had some iffy experiences in the past, this past weekend I witnessed multiple interactions between the store owner and customers that made me quite uncomfortable and pushed me to finally speak up here. There was a really sweet little boy and his mother when I entered the store who were going through pokemon cards from the display case while the owner stood over them, clearly impatient with them, pressuring them to hurry up and audibly sighing as he accidentally dropped a few cards on the floor. In the span of a few minutes I then observed the owner being curt towards him and his mother when they asked for clarification on the prices, yelling at the boy for walking into the staff-only section which was obviously just an honest mistake, snapping at one of his employees (who was apparently new but very friendly) for not getting the "spiel" right, and being rude towards some other folks across the room for not immediately being able to find the bulk cards they asked about. The mother even apologized, saying it was their first time there, and he just doubled down on his fed-up attitude at her. The environment was hostile and uncomfortable as a bystander and I felt really bad for this poor family. This was far from the first time I've been uncomfortable at this store as well. I can recall multiple past instances of rudeness by this owner and some of his employees towards me and others (making me feel like I'm burdening him and wasting his time for looking through the cards). Additionally, the insistence by the store owner to provide his over-the-top "spiel" about the "big sale" going on to me (despite my clarification that I've been to the store many times before) is confusing at best. The perennial sale that discounts everything in the store is misleading and the prices for sealed tcg product even after the "discount" are also still excessive. The store itself is quite enjoyable to peruse otherwise, with an impressive collection of comics, cards, and other collectibles. Still, I was really bothered by the store owner's unacceptable and unbelievable behavior that I witnessed firsthand and would caution others about visiting here.”

“Owner has complete disregard for customers and entirely lacks any sense of professionalism. I came in with some vintage pokemon cards during store hours. I was hoping to make a deal but was rudely shunned away due to a soon starting tournament. I completely understand focusing your attention on that but don't spot offer me $600 without even looking through my cards then storm off. How about "I'm sorry I don't have time right now because a tournament is in play. I would love to help to you on a later day as I'm busy right now. *sets date and time." Staff was very nice and I'm surprised they work for him . They showed far more care and interest than him. Prices also ridiculously out of line with market. Good luck”
