I am a huge Pokemon collector, and this store does more than disappoint. They mark up their products almost by 3x the normal MSRP. Although the selection of singles were good, but thats about the only positive thing here. Ive been to a ton of stores, as I originate in California, and theyre almost all the same. The small business excuse doesnt cut it. What were these guys doing before the whole scalping of Pokemon cards became a thing? DO NOT BUY THEIR POKEMON PRODUCTS, SAVE YOUR MONEY.
I recently went into this store and I must say the lady working there is very helpful and made me feel welcome and their store was nicely situated. However, I was crunched for time. After spending about 20-30 minutes selecting comics I was looking for, I left without any of them because they had to look up every single comic instead of pricing them beforehand. I understand that comic value varies over time, however, I should not have my time wasted while the employees are looking up the price.Recommendations to improve customer service:1. Tell customers upon entering your system and to provide you with comics as soon as possible to enable your employees look up prices ahead of check out and to avoid wasting the customers time when checking out.2. Enable your employees to negotiate on your behalf (even if just 10%) if a price seems unreasonable or if they would like to pay a lower price.3. Put prices on the comics beforehand to make it easy.Wish you and this store the best. If you have the time, worth checking out after they tweak a couple things.
I go about once a month, as I live in a different town, but the drive is well worth it. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about everything they sell. I go for the comics but they have tons of cards and vintage toys as well. The staff remember me each time and Taryn is extremely informed on comics old and new. The owners are there sometimes and they are helpful and friendly as well. Prices are excellent on the single issues, including hot book from modern age and back. One of my favorite spots in colorado.
This place has great sports collectables! Tons of comics and action figures too. Very very cool place!
Best selection of Pokemon cards in town. They appreciate the kids enthusiasm for collecting and trading.
Cool place! And the gal working was super kind and helpful!
Had a nice selection of MTG products. Everything is neat and the store is pretty clean.
You walk in to the smell of old comics. Staff is friendly and you can spend a lot of time just looking through back issues and enjoying the nostalgia
I have gone to this shop many a times made many purchases there, not to bad of a shop with huge variety. What gets me down about this shop is the fact I have now gone online and see everything I have bought I could have gotten for half price.... seems pretty shady, I get store like this need to make money to stay a float these days but 110% mark up come on 110% will just be going online from here on out. Friendly personal til you see behind the smoke and mirrors.
Great little shop for all your card needs I wish I could get in on the events but they always happen wjen Im at work 😅 a good place to just geek out
Rushed after work from Longmont to get there before 6pm closing time. Showed up at 5:55pm to make my purchase and leave. The younger guy had closed everything and turned off all the lights, and was locking the door to leave. I told him I drove all the way from Longmont to be there, he said he already closed the register. He begrudgingly let me come in and give him my hard earned money. He was a jerk. Pretty lazy if you can’t wait till 6pm to close. I really like this place though. I buy a lot of stuff here
I highly recommend this store, the owner and staff our very professional and knowledgeableThey are not just a store !!!They have helped a lot of charities 💥💥
Very disappointing. I have been In the store several times and as of yet have ever had them buy a single item. I know its up to the merchant but still. I would suggest going to other card shops first if you have things you would like to sell cause these guys may just waste a couple hours of your time for nothing.
Waited in line 15 minutes, no one came to help. When the the 2nd person did come to help they started at the back of the line and what I waited on was taken immediately. Would not recommend and will not be back.
Good people, doing it the right way for the right reasons. Best card shop on the planet!
Lots of new comic titles and old back issues!Lots of games and other types of cards besides sports. Jason and Taryn know their sruff !!
Excellent comics sports cards and CCG shop, and some games to boot. Small but mighty with great selection! Jason is very attentive and knowledgeable.
I was greeted nicely and asked to sell my Pokémon cards the man asked the woman to look at the cards she said no I will not buy cards i just spent 800 dollars on Pokémon cards I will never go back here. Custmer service was not good
Large selection all types of trading cards an even larger selection of comics. Friendly staff great atmosphere
Love this place. Same owners for decades with kind attitudes and a welcoming atmosphere. Really happy to see Grand Slam still at it!
Comic guy acted mightier than thou. He knows his comics and he doesnt care if you buy anything. All he wants to do is play card games. The prices on comics are ridiculously expensive but this is a publisher problem. Trying to get into comics is hard because you want to start at the beginning but its just not possible. I will probably go again if I cant find the comic I want online.
Always lots of great comic friendly helpful staff
Awesome comic book shop with action figures and lots of back issues! Jason who runs the place is super knowledgeable and totally cool hes been hooking my two sons up since forever definitely go there and support his local business!
Its ok.... the lady working there the day I went mustve just had a puppy die because she was awfully short and rude to her coworker in front of shoppers .Probably wont be back 😕 .
Never thought I would get back into collecting after such a long drought (20+ years), but caught the big recently after diving into my old card collection. Cards arent what they used to be (cough cough... price), but still fun to collect if you can spare the change (or trade in your old car for cash).Grand Slam is excellent. A business that has stayed in business despite disposable money dying out around the late 90s into the 2000s. O cant quite find information on how long theyve been in business, but regardless of that for a comic/card store to stay in business even now with high rents/leases is quite remarkable.The staff is excellent, knowledgeable and Ive only had good experiences with them. The only knock I would have (and this is probably just me) is a slight lack of interest in older cards/players. But hey, I get it. Boxes now come with only 25-50 cards in them, while in the 90s the came with 200+. Collecting is a young mans game now and the interest lies with the youth. Which is super cool to see kids enjoying it like I did.
I am impressed with this place. 5 star service from Terin she was very attentive. I am just impressed with the attitude here, made spending $$$ here very pleasant. Thank you Terin.
Found the supplies I wanted but not the comic back issues. Lots of current issues. Will shop there again.
Had a great prerelease tournament, see you at the next one!!
What a nice owner! Jason is very personable! A pleasure to talk to about cards! I have gotten out of the swing lately. Will be heading in there a lot!
Always there to help you find the entertainment you want, never go out empty handed. Sometimes they dont got specific comics, but they try to direct you to where you can find them.
This place has been open since I was a kid they are a little pricey but theyve caught some pokemon
Have been there multiple times to get sports cards. This last time he told me he couldnt do it right then. It didnt help telling him I came from a ways away. Said I would have to wait until his helper came. Wanted to help out small business. But apparently not worth it to him. That was the last time I will go there.
First visit to this store in Loveland and was made to feel as though I was really bothering the guy at the counter when I asked a couple of questions. He got a pained look and gave me a heavy sigh when he had to get out of his chair to get an item for me to purchase. No great loss though. Not much of a sports selection anyway - I wont be back.
Owner was so knowledgeable and helpful. Great selection and a joy to shop at this local store.
I love the Pokémon card section!!! great store100% recommend!!
Way to high prices and they give shifty little money when buying cards from u.
Seriously, this is the BEST place in Colorado!
Nice shop with a good variety of new comics, back issues and graphic novels. They also have games. And its a great place to pick up sports cards. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, whether finding items or just some recommendations. Overall, a good place to shop.
Awesome place. Carry a lot of sports card boxes and packs
The owner, Jason, is very personable. He usually has a good selection for baseball cards.
Always like to stop by when I am in town. For all of their inventory, I sure wish they had more space!
Great! This shop participates in free comic book Saturday. My nerdy little family had a fantastic time wandering aisles. Got some Pokemon cards and some mystery baseball card grab bags. (and dont forget the free comics) Staff was super nice and BEYOND knowledgeable.
Good friendly service and ALOT of product!
The owner was very friendly and interacted with all customers regardless of age. I overheard a very educational lesson regarding a young boys first experience visiting a sports card store and some helpful dos and donts of trading with absolutely no pressure to buy a thing. Will definitely be returning.
Love this place!! Home to all things nerdy!!!
Really great selection of comics! I could spend all day in there looking around. However, most of backstock was not priced and it was very misleading. You head up to the register to check out and the guy starts looking up prices on Ebay and you end up paying more than you expect. If prices were marked it wouldnt be that big of a deal because then you would know what youre paying.
This guy is a ripoff. Ill never shop there again. I bought cards from him and took them and looked them up and come to find out that he charged me double the price.
I used to frequent card game tournaments here, and if I didnt move Id still be going. Nice shop, lots of variety
Such an awesome store! Lots of Magic, sports and all sorts of collectable cards. Staff are all amazing and super helpful. Cant say enough positive things! Thanks for everything, well be back again soon!
The woman wasnt very friendly when I went in.
I dont collect or play cards but I do collect comics. This is the best place in Loveland to pick up a specific book. If they dont have it, they can likely find for it quickly. Reasonable prices, competitive to the market.
The store is stocked full of comics and games, tons of cards for magic, pokemon, yugioh and many others, plus they host tournaments for many games, the owner is very knowledgeable about all their products and can offer advice on anything in the store, they also have a large selection of sports cards, great place to hang out, very friendly place
Crowded and has a small selection compared to the one in Greeley. But not bad I guess
This place is nostagia for me. As a collector of really obscure card games, it is great to me that they still carry some of these. I also collect baseball cards so its the best of both worlds! Great staff with a wealth of knowledge. Pulled a great Chris Bryant rookie autograph here! Next time you are in loveland, stop in here if you are a sports fan and/or gamer.
This place is loaded(and I mean loaded!!!!) With tons of really cool stuff! I personally prefer collecting football cards, magic the gathering, and pokemon cards and they have all that there! Tons of old cards to look through as well as a huge variety of new and old packs and hobby boxes! Highly reccomend this place to any card collector to check out! If you are looking for comics they have so many there as well as board games, D&D stuff and more! Really an awesome local busines . And the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Best comic selection in town, variety of trading cards and rare board games. Its a great place for the gaming enthusiast!
This store has a good collection of comics. Only downside is the service. At this store you will find it is to much to ask where you can find certain comics. When you call for anything you can just feel they are annoyed by your questions. The store manager is LAZY and speaks down to people. He also loves to walk away while youre asking him questions. The only thing he is willing to help you with is taking your money. If the female employee is there then you should have a good experience she is very nice and helpful. Its really too bad I will have to turn to online shopping unless I can find a better shop.
Update from my last review awhile ago. Ive recently gotten to know the workers at this store and their other store in Greeley and have come to appreciate their service and what they have to offer to the comic book community. Definitely worth checking out for all your comic needs.
Very nice place. The gal behind the counter was supper sweet and polite. More organized then I have seen other game stores I have been to.
Favorite local shop to get my magic or pokemon cards. I love the staff and the aesthetic of the shop.
I dont want to put too much energy in this review, because its not worth it, but I want to make potential customers aware of the experience they might have here. Ive given this place 3 strikes and now its completely out. Owner or however the guy who works there needs to get a personality and learn how to treat customers, and potential repeat customers, with some courtesy and respect. Not only has he been condensing and talked down to me, Ive heard him do it to other people as well. Not a friendly place.
I have a son that I have been taking here since he was 6 to play yugioh. Now he is 9 and starting his own comic collection. The young lady we usually see is always helpful and treats my son like a special little customer, even having books held for us when we arrive. The tradition of the Comic Shop is part of my childhood and thanks to Grand Slam it part of my sons as well.
Awesome place. The employees are really helpful and the owner definitely as well. They have one the best selections for board games, Pokémon, Magic, and baseball cards. They have a great selection of comics (older and newer).
The selection.here is wonderful. Great staff as well
Great selection and friendly staff
Great stock, great prices, always helpful. I go here 2-3 times each year when I am in town from out of state. I look forward to it. Very attentive even though they are often busy when Im there.
It has amazing people and an awesome vibe. The people who work there are always willing to teach somebody a game and share their knowladge and passion.
Really awesome we were passing through town and we stopped here and some nice lady named taran was really welcoming they have alot of the stuff we were looking for. We will definitely be back.
The employee was friendly and helpful with what he knew. Good selection of new and used cards, singles and packs. They also have a great selection of comics and graphic novels.
Its a good selection of games and comics with multiple tables for gaming. The service is very poor though and it feels like the staff is perhaps bored instead of enthusiastic.
Awesome store. Nice staff. Incredible selection of MTG
They didnt have the specific D&D piece that we were looking for but as always, great about ordering specialty items in for us. Great service as always.
Great selection of new and back issue comics, an extensive collection of table top and card games, and sports related memorabilia. A friendly and informative staff make for an overall excellent shopping experience.
Going back I had a nice lady greet me and ask if I needed help. After pulling the packs I wanted she quickly checkrd me out and wished me luck. Will be back
An awesome cozy very informative store about comics, cards, and games!
They have EVERYTHING. Its a card and comic haven! And you dont have to break the bank to get the things you want
Very friendly staff. They have a wonderful collection of sports cards and gaming cards/books. If they dont have what you are looking for they will help you find it.
The shop was nice with tons of stuff to choose from. I did find one of the two employees working at the time very unpleasant. Despite that its a nice comic and game shop.
Walked in for the first time about a week ago and it will definitely not be my last! Very cool place to visit if youre in Loveland
Been there twice since i like to support local shops. Both times i stopped by there was a sticky note on the door with an apology for being closed on such short notice. How does a business stay IN business if they arent ever open? Oh well, Gryphons in FoCo is nice and they are open when they say they are.
Best place around for cards, no question!
Super Friendly staff and a HUGE selection of comics. Not too much room for table top gaming but they make up for it in atmosphere 😎
Lots of comics.
A small shop, but absolutely packed with cards, comics, collectables, and a surprisingly large board game selection. Jason is friendly and knowledgeable about everything in his shop, and is always happy to special order anything he doesnt have in stock.
Fun place to play games. Lots of nice people and helpful employees.
Expensive
Great assistants helped me find my items
Very helpful and a good location to finds games or meet to play!:)
The staff was really helpful and friendly.
I like how knowledgeable they are on products
They have a great selection, theyre helpful and have a really cool community :)
I dig this spot! Its my local comic book shop! Great selection of DC comics
Enjoyed taking my son there for his first card shop experience. Tons of cards and tons of packs..
Awesome shop!
Lovely little local comic shop
Found some collectible cards at this shop that I couldnt find anywhere else locally. Jason, on the staff, was very helpful. Great shop!
I have been going to Grand Slam for 15 years and have always found it to be great. The guys really know their comics and can always be relied upon for a good recommendation and its a fun environment to sit down and play some games as well.
Absolutely love this place.
Jason is very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions, they have a great DND selection, the comic trades I wanted, and I got an AMAZING American Standard Mega Plumber Action Hero figure.
