Hometown Collectibles Sports Cards & Comics

"Recently dropped into checkout Hometown Collectibles Sports Cards & Comics. Let me tell you, this is how you run a store. Super pleasant staff, clean store (not a dust bunny in sight) and fair prices. Not as many toys as I would like to see but there are enough comic books to make up for it. Love me a good Punisher comic and Iron Fella, also. If I had two suggestions, one would be to start carrying Schleich. The state of Massachusetts really could use a new Flagship store concerning Schleich. My second suggestion would be to update your inventory system. While I support giving people from the "Silent Generation" jobs for those who are still able to leave the house, I don't know if it is necessary for them to hand write every single item down that people are purchasing. I would recommend a point of sale system."

"Great selection of vintage baseball cards and new sealed product. The staff were very friendly and helped us with our questions. They have so much it was like a sports museum. Loved the authentic autographed merchandise. Will be back soon. A must visit for all sports fans and collectors"

"On 12/06/2018 I had a family member in the surgical center just a mile down the road and had a couple hours to kill while I waited for her procedure to be completed. I walked into Hometown Collectibles in Emerald Square Mall. As I walked into the store I greeted the guy working behind the he said hi and I proceeded to look through the store. About 10 minutes later an older man (who I discovered later was one of the owners) walks in and starts to loudly berate the counter worker about a person wandering around the store (me) and he wasn’t watching me well enough. I have been collecting comics for many years and in the back of the store I noticed a huge stock of comic books, but they are separated from the customers by display counters so there is no way for me to look through or purchase any of them. The owner came over to me pretty much to see what I was doing in his store and I asked about how he sells the comics. He told me a story about how he sold some comics at a low price and that purchaser’s friend came in to also buy comics and “bragged” about getting a good deal. The owner does not sell out of the store anymore because he doesn’t think he can get every penny he can and will only sell graded books online. I highly suggest you stay clear of this place. The owner does not care about making happy customers only about how much money he can get out of you. The prices are unrealistically high, the greed factor is very strong with this establishment. The owner will not even sell to you unless he is confident he has gotten your very last dollar. The owner treats both his employees and customers with a great deal of contempt."

"Great prices and down to earth staff, this place has everything sports memorabilia related and also other autographs from New England sports teams to national teams, balls, jerseys, helmets, cards plus a comic book section in the back. the place is quite large and Frank and Bob, the guys that run the place are able to acquire any signed piece you want for your collection. Great prices too! Best part all of this stuff is authenticated and sealed."
