Basically if you are looking for hard to find comics new or old they will probably have them and also if you like collectibles there is a bunch and if you like playing card games like Pokemon,Magic, etc they have that here as well to. Its a nice store and very clean inside and everything is super organized. I would highly recommend.

If you want to pay over double retail price for pokemon cards this is the shop for you. Never in my life have I seen a local card shop sell at these scalper prices. For example theyre selling a single celebrations pack at $7 a piece when a mini tin with 2 of these packs plus a 3rd sword and shield pack sell at retail for $9. Absolutely ridiculous. I really want to support locally owned businesses but not when they try to price gouge their customers to this extent.

A wide selection of comics and cards. The clerks were great helps when looking for certain items and were very kind. The location is a bit out of the way but the selection was well worth it.

Bad customer service. Ignored us completely when we walked in. On the phone for extended period of time, helped someone else then got right back on the phone. Left without purchasing anything.

Hard to leave this review as we tried very hard to enjoy this place as it is largest card and comic shop in the area. VERY Over priced cards with no access to boxes for Pokémon or Sports cards just double priced single packs. No Pokémon card singles worth looking at and the sports singles are there but Seems like it is a bother to ask them questions or engage them about the collectibles they are selling. Wish We felt welcome or they were interested at all, wish there was a solid Place for pOkemon and sports in Lancaster.

Ridiculous over priced pokemon cards... Over $10-$30 is ok I meant is a business, but 100% or even more over the regular price is just RIDICULOUS

Over priced pokemon cards. Waste of time. Selling new product 200% above retail msrp. Find another card shop that doesnt take advatage of its customers.

Amazing store for a comic book or trading card fan. The statues and memorabilia alone make this place worth stopping in and checking them out.

Over priced pokemon cards. Price gauging at 200% retail value. Thanks for not allowing anyone in the AV to get cards at decent prices. Packs might be weighted.

Great store for kids👍👍👍

They have a good selection of comics and items you need for Storm comics and baseball cards. They have a small selection of sports cards and signed framed jerseys, but I think their biggest draw is storage bags but rather the fact that they have space for people to meet and play games like magic the Gathering. Is it clean store with friendly knowledgeable staff and they have finally paved the entire way there so theres no dirt road to go over although you still need to be careful pulling into the parking lot if you have a low riding car. The store is easy to find since you can see it from the 14 freeway and I recommend it to anyone looking for comics baseball cards and a place to gather for games. Theres also a restaurant in the same Shopping Center in case you get hungry :-)

They overprice Pokémon cards like its eBay. New shinning fates Etb was $134, when retail is $50. Double the price and more.

Rob and James are the best! Great service and selection. Game days for different cards. Beautiful show room and subscription discounts on comics. Best comics and cards shop in the A.V.!Update June 2018Rob and James are Awesome. Bases is, without a doubt, the best Comic & Cards Shop in the AV. The store is amazing and the customer service cant be beat anywhere. I moved away and James took the time to call me and let me know a comic my family was into was back in print. The fact that they kept me in mind after moving away is out of this world. I couldnt appreciate or respect them more. Thanks guys for being great and continuing to offer the best source of Cards and Comics in the AV.

I passed through this town and had to stop when i saw it from the highway. Glad i did! They have an enormous array of nerd hobbies to dig in to. They had boxes from old school magic the gathering ranging from alliances to onslaught. Absolutely incredible service. No pressure, happy go lucky guy helping every customer. The vast selection is quite overwhelming. I easily could have spent countless hours just looking. I hope my local game stores take a few tips from this place. I will definitley need to return to this store.

Has a lot of cards and comics. From what I know, there are Magic and Vanguard cards, probably more. They have tournaments almost every Friday, youd have to ask them and pay to join. Has a good atmosphere.

I love these guys! I take my kids there to pick up books a couple of times a month and theyre always friendly. For those with younger kids, they have all their young audience-oriented comics separated into a couple of rotating display stands.

Review №64

Lets talk stocks. Upon walking in, the first thing you notice is either the posters lining the walls from all types of fandoms or the glass cases full of collectibles. There are comics everywhere in the store, new and old, even full collections and series in the more book based ones. They have all types of cards- baseball, pokemon, magic the gathering, yu-gi-oh, and much more. The comics are suited for all ages and ratings. There are ones meant for kids and ones full of gore. No matter the popularity of the comics, they seem to have it all.

Review №76

Called to see if a new issue comic was still available and they had one left and held for me. But they didnt tell me it was now $50! Ok, is what it is. Now (different week) just called and asked if a new issue again was in, and yes one copy, asked if cover price, yes and can hold it for me. Thanks. Once there they now say that they actually didnt have one. Funny because could hear the guy walk to them and say Yep 1 copy left. Last time I unfortunately will look for something there.

Big card shop with memorabilia, comics, and tournaments for games like Magic and Pokemon. They have current and older card packs for baseball, football, basketball, hockey, etc. They also sell gaming cards. There is a good selection of individual cards in the cases and they often have sales. The staff is friendly and helpful.
