“Very nice store, lots of interesting and rare items, staff is very kind and helpful. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the market to buy anything this time and couldn’t come to a deal with the owner about buying some of my collection, I appreciate the help they gave me when determining a price range for the items I was selling and am very pleased with the great customer service. I look forward to shopping here in the future.”
“Fred is a very knowledgeable man and very friendly to work with. Made us very comfortable, took his time no rushing us. And he gave us top dollar for all of our items. Would highly recommend him and would return to him again in the future. Thanks Fred”
“My son has recently started collecting cards and a few months ago we stopped in to M&Js card store to look around. The owner was very nice, knowledgeable and very helpful. Talked to my son gave him some advice even gave him a couple cards to add to his collections. My son loves it there. So many different things to check out from cards to comics, POPS, wrestling figures. Great place to visit.”
“Recently discovered the store. It's a real gem. Too few toy and hobby stores like this left. Massive selection, everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and the prices are fair.”
“Incredibly awesome place! Their selection is fantastic, the people that run the place are all very nice, and it feels like a very welcoming environment for all people. It's everything you want in a local game store and more.”
“Been here a few times now. Definitely has a sketchy vibe to it, as the building looks abandoned, there's almost never any cars in the rundown parking lot, and the shop is down a flight of stairs to the basement. However, don't be fooled -- a little diamond in the rough going on. Once you walk through the door, they have an impressive array of all things collectable. I've gone specifically for sports trading cards, as they have a decent selection with more each time we've gone. The staff there (and owner) talk with us each time we've gone, and are very personable. If you're looking for in-person browsing and selection over Amazon blind purchases, I highly recommend stopping in.”

“Friendly staff and loads of product. Parking can be tricky, and there's not a lot of space inside. Worth a stop of your in the area, or, if you're like me, you need something, and it's completely sold out online. 😅”
“The last bastion of in person craft shopping... I used to go to Jo-ann all the time, but when they closed, I started coming to this Michaels. The prices on most items are unexpectedly reasonable, but the seasonal items, such as Halloween decorations, are ungodly expensive. This doesn't bother me because I'm not there for holiday shopping, but it does seem a little insane to me. Other than that, it seems like their fabric section is being expanded very slowly. I would really like to see this continue and especially would like to see some high quality faux fur added to the fabric sections. This type of item is getting incredibly hard to find in brick and mortar stores. They do carry upholstery foam, similar to the green stuff from Jo-ann, which is something I often shop for.
I would definitely give this place 5 stars if they update the fabric selection.”
“Stopped by recently and the person running the store was very helpful and brought out a bunch of singles that I could look through. I also accidentally left my toploaders there on and I was able to grab them when I showed up the next morning. Very much appreciate the staff!”
“I love Michael’s. I’m a full time artist and you can get some ridiculous prices when things get marked down. Coupons are amazing. They really help keep me in business.”
“Bill went through some old coins I had accumulated. He was very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining the differences in values. Very trustworthy. Would recommend”
“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“Great staff.
I had four prints framed and initially there were issues with improperly sized materials and the framing, the Michaels staff fixed the problem and were very professional. I am very appreciative of their efforts.”

“Going to let my member ship expire. Original got a membership to by pokemon cards for myself and 4 year old daughter. But I could by cards cheaper from a local scalper then the price gamestop is selling the cards for. The company is destroying the hobby. I was going to pre order the entire 30th anniversary set. But not after the six hundred dollar price for the 30th anniversary upc. How are families going to afford that? Gamestop please bring prices back down so families can actually enjoy going to the store. Scalpers like gamestop and the ones that clear out other stores are literally destroying this hobby.”
