“I had several items that I thought were antiques, but actually were "collectables". The staff at Oakton were great. They took their time looking at my "treasures" but did not rush anything! They held my stash for another day so their partner who specialized in the swords I brought in could really examine them more closely. While I did not come away with the ton of money I envisioned, I did leave satisfied because of the manner in which these guys did business: highly recommended by a good friend, as well as what I'd read online. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakton Coins & Collectibles. They're honest and reliable.”

“Kids won't understand how we grew up with comic books unless more stores like this exist and thrive. I've been in here several times, usually just to browse and wax nostalgic on my teenaged years. Vernon, the shop owner, is a delight to talk with. He's got a heck of a selection of marvel, dc, and other comic book titles in stock, plus games and anime and magazines. It's quite refreshing and I highly recommend you visit!”

“don't quite understand the unpleasant reviews about Mr. Bergman(bergie) I've purchased from him MANY times and have had mostly pleasant interactions, maybe he has to be a certain way in a hobby we're everyone believes they "know more" or has different ideas of what memorabilia is worth, I'll continue to do business with the person who's been doing it longer!”

“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
