“The second my partner and I saw how unassuming this shop is we knew we were in for something good. The collection in here is amazing, and the owner is very nice. You can tell there is a lot of love for collecting and anime/geek culture in here. Really wide selection spanning tons of different anime, manga, comics, games, across many decades. Japanese moomin merch (or ANY moomin merch, for that matter) is really hard to come by in the u.s., and we were able to get a cute moomin plushie from Japan, one that neither my partner and I have ever seen before despite being moomin fans for 5+ years. Even if we hadn't gotten the plushie I was honestly happy knowing that the owner at least knew what moomin was. I'll definitely be stopping by in the future next time I'm in Oakland/Emeryville.”
“Highly recommended art supply shop for students and professionals. We purchased some materials, which were very hard to find in most other shops, for a school model house project. The staffs are super nice and helpful. A real time saver! With just one stop, we found everything we needed!”

Thanks Russ!!”
“I have had several brief yet always fun interactions with several of the staff. Seem to be smiling and are typically always very helpful. They have a big enough selection of magic the gsthering cards, granted they only sell packs and accessories not singles but are price more than appropriately I would recommend the store to anyone who enjoys games, puzzles, collectibles, and just fun. if you enjoy any of these things, this store is for you !”

“Ying Hobbies & Toys it's the hidden gem you never knew you needed! My wife stumbled upon this treasure while on a quest for Gunpla goodness, and boy, am I glad she did. Tucked away in a cozy spot, Ying Hobbies & Toys might play hard to get at first, but once you lay eyes on its bounty of plastic wonders, you'll be hooked. The store might be small, but it's bursting at the seams with an array of model kits that'll make any Gundam fan's heart skip a beat. Seriously, choosing just one model feels like trying to pick a favorite child - impossible and bound to hurt someone's feelings. But fear not, the guy running the place is pretty helpful. With his guidance, navigating through the sea of model kits becomes a breeze! Oh and the pricing is super fair specially for all the cool stuff you can find. So, if you're a Gundam enthusiast or just someone who appreciates the art of model kits, do yourself a favor and pay Ying Hobbies & Toys a visit. Trust me, it'll quickly become your go-to spot for all things Gunpla. Happy building, fellow plastic yelp warriors!”
“Pretty low-key lgs for mtg. Staff is always super friendly. We got some cool Oakland cats who play cards here. I’ve made some friends and played some fun games.”
“Cute and friendly cat! The cashier was nice overall! Had a situation with miscommunication on pricing, and when confronted, the owner was respectful and apologetic. To the business: I appreciate the apology, I see it was an honest mistake. Go support them and meet the friendly cat!”
“Went into Jeff's shop today looking to buy silver. I ended up buying silver and having a good conversation. Jeff is a very knowledgeable numismatist. His shop was super nice and he was a pleasure to deal with. If you're in the area and looking for some coins I'd advise you check him out.”
“Has everything. College vibes abound. Prices are a little higher then the cheapest on the internet but feel fair given that there is actually helpful staff around.”
“Blick is my go to place for art materials. The staff is always incredibly helpful not only in finding items, but advice about how to use them. Kudos to Elaine for helping me today figure out how to blow up a painting using Blick materials. Thank you, Elaine!”
“Bought two posters and shipped one to a buddy and one to me. Quick shipping, came in a sturdy cardboard tube with plastic ends tightly secured and taped. Poster was rolled up in a paper sheet in the tube. Both posters came securely in excellent condition. So stoked with the results! I will definitely be buying more. Thank you!”

“We recently purchased an acrylic panel for our living room skylight. The staff at TAP Plastics provided excellent service on the selection of a cost effective material, In addition, the staff helped us size and adjust the large sheet dimensions to obtain a perfect fit. Awesome!”
“An artist’s dream store! Plus, they have things for everyday people who want frames, colored pencils and markers and other craft items. Plus, the employees are super nice here.”
“Great shop to check out TCGs & supplies, might as well to play a few games in the quiet atmosphere. P.S. Feel free to contact them beforehand if you are not sure they are opening or not.”
“I have been a customer of Dennis King for over 40 years. I have purchased everything from sports cards, non-sports cards, 49er Starter jackets, 70s Warriors warm up jackets, baseball caps, sports programs and schedules. King's Baseball Cards is the one stop shop for the intelligent connoisseur who is also a smart shopper of sports memorabilia. Prices are reasonable and fair. I am certain Dennis has some items at good prices that you will be unable to find elsewhere.
Many decades ago, I came into Dennis's original shop on Bancroft, looking to fill a super rare non-sports card set. Dennis helped me fulfill a long time dream to complete my 1962 Mars Attacks set at a reasonable price. Dennis told me that I was offering to pay too much. That set alone is now worth a small fortune if you can find someone willing to part with one.
Dennis is always willing to share his vast knowledge of sport cards. He has likely forgotten more than I will ever know.
Dennis, thank you for making my collection what it is today.”
“Clean organized store with a friendly staff fast service on checkout quick staff assistance when needs besides target and the dollar tree it's the only craft store on the island so it is what it is the sewing section is a far cry from what I would want it to be no fabric they have some ribbons and threads sewing needles buttons zippers but and lacking allot it's not wear I would start if I were sewing a garment or something that was not needing more than Minor repairs.”

They just moved down the block to a larger site with more gaming space. Give it a try!”

“I recently inherited my grandfather's extensive stamp collection and was unsure of its value or how to go about selling it. I’m so glad I found The United States Stamp Company! Their expertise and professionalism were evident from the start. They took the time to thoroughly appraise each stamp, providing me with a clear understanding of its worth. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and I felt confident in their assessment. Not only did they give me a fair and honest appraisal, but they also helped facilitate the sale in a timely fashion. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy stamp appraiser, I highly recommend The United States Stamp Company!”
