“If you looking for great coins that are in tip top shape and tell an awesome story come check out Stacks Bowers Galleries. The people who work here are so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. You will not be disappointed!”
“Visiting from Lower Hudson Valley, NY to check out Salem, MA. Stumbled across this gem while passing through Peabody, MA. Wished there were more places like this back in NY.
These guys here that own this place were very pleasant and informative. Definitely have to go back.”
“Awesome store, very bright and clean with a good selection of board games and card games as well as accessories.
Staff there is amazing and were very helpful and organized.”
“This place is the bomb. Period they are amazing and always have been I go out of my way to shop here because nowhere is better. They are kind and helpful, and the supplies are what I want and usually more! This is my number 1 art store, it doesn’t get much better than here.”
“Visited and bought some books, Vallejo paint, and an Eevee mini for the wife. It was a packed store with a lot of fun finds! Prices are fairly priced for most of the store and I'm sure there are gems if you look ahead enough!”
“I visited earlier today and definitely worth the 3 hour round trip. By far the best numismatic shop I’ve ever visited. They have a great selection of items and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Peter the owner is a Spectacular individual, I’m so happy I met this gentleman! So yes I will be back and to you the reader check out this shop!!!”
“This is the best art supply store. It just seems to have everything for every medium commonly used. There's a wide variety of markers to choose from. They also have gift cards. One gotcha, parking is very difficult. It's best to walk there. There is validated parking from an adjacent garage though.”
“Was a pleasure to stop by the store today! Tommy was very knowledgeable and able to help with some comics I was looking to sell but I didn’t know much about. Ended up buying a Shrouded Fable Pokémon collector box and can’t wait to open later tonight. Appreciate y’all and 10/10 would recommend! Thanks again!”

“The organizers and staff were fantastic. Teddy was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was knowledgeable about the cards and incredibly helpful in guiding participants through the activities. My son is 8 and we had 12 kids in total, each kid had a great time. The kids brought their own cards, but also received a customized box of cards which each kid enjoyed opening and looking through. The kids were able to trade cards, play cornhole, play or watch video games and eat pizza and snacks. The enthusiasm of the FreshPullz team added to the overall positive vibe of the party. The trading card birthday was a hug success! It brought the kids together in a fun, interactive, and engaging way! If you are considering a unique and entertaining theme for a birthday party, a trading card party at FreshPullz is worth it. It was an unforgettable experience that left everyone excited for more.”

“Coming from Baltimore not only was I amazed by the volume of memorabilia but also by the welcome I received while viewing the store. I thought for sure I’d get an ear full from the local sports fans but these guys are amazing! I had just as much fun chatting as I did viewing their endless treasure trove of sports memorabilia. I will find my way back one day for sure!”
“Been going to Sports Collectibles
for last 7 years.
The owner is an honest & pleasant
person.
Huge selection of new & used cards.
They have a $1 card spot where you can find cards worth much more than $1
Lots of collectables and deals.
Best shop I've been to out of the
8 shops I've checked out...”

“This is a fantastic Michael’s! I always find what I need here and the staff are wonderful. Shout out to Hercules who was amazing when I had a tons of pestering questions! He was so patient, accommodating, and helpful! He also was everywhere, working every job, truly a great worker!”
“Small shop but well worth the visit, per my wife as she purchased several kits. Location close to swan boat rides in Boston. Other locations further from the city.”
“Fantastic store, spent over 1 1/2 hours looking around at the great selection of HO items. Was thrilled to find a Boston and Maine rail car and landscaping accessories.......so much better than shopping online. Very helpful salespeople.Very much worth the trip down from Maine!”
“I've had 12 custom framing projects done here in the past 2.5 years, and I could not be happier with how ever single one has turned out. The whole framing team there is awesome to work with and they are kind and professional. If there has been any issue with any of my projects, they've been totally willing to work with me to make sure it's fixed. I really appreciate them and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I also love their large selection of frames, mattes, and other choices for custom framing.”
“Jessica Scott is the best employee that works at Michael’s in Danvers ma. Energy abounds, always smiling. And always there does she ever get a day off? She needs to be rewarded…..truly rewarded”
“Recently got into collecting silver and coins. This place is great. Charles and John are good guys to chat with and are very willing to share their knowledge and time.”

“James at the Porter Square location was so lovely and helpful! I needed help with picture framing, and they were super patient and accommodating with my process. They also gave excellent advice and explanations of my options. Shoutout James!”
“Very nice little shop. They were friendly and helpful with the questions that I had. They didn’t have anything that I was looking for but it’s worth a visit for any collectors.”
“Pretty much every type of art or craft supply that you could possibly need along with lots of other different kinds of knick knacks and many seasonal items to go along with it all while being as in excellent price range for all of there various products. The one only issue I have with the one Michaels store in Danvers by the Liberty tree Mall would have to be that they have 6 or 7 self-checkout automated register machines that are card only then just 2 registers with actual cashiers who are able to take cash or any other type of transaction like returns ect. on most weekends and especially any holiday season the line can be 40 people deep which can end up taking a rather long long time to check out. All in all I highly recommend Michael's for their extensive inventory of crafts and seasonal items along with a very helpful knowledgeable staff”
“Although the store had everything that I needed, store personnel only pointed to the potential location of the items. Good supplies, poor associate interaction and support.
Several sale items were not priced.”
“What can I say...I LOVE Michael's and find myself feeling happy whenever I go there. They have every decorating, crafting, art, baking, party supply item you could possibly need. The prices are great. The staff is nice and helpful. I especially love coming in during fall, Halloween and Christmas times as the decorations are always so fun to look at.”

“I like this location a lot. I could spend all day in here thinking about what new projects I want to start (and maybe actually finish!). The employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and are always happy to help. Also, I think the rewards program is great! I've gotten so many great coupons and vouchers to pay for my endless need for crochet supplies. (Everyone who knits and/or crochets knows that it always takes more yarn than you think, even if you already got extra! ?)
Overall, it's really a great store, but I'd be remiss to not mention a few minor grievances I have. First and foremost: CROCHET HOOKS! Where did they go?? It seems that the hook isle hasn't been restocked for at least 5 months. I'm always losing my small-guage Susan Bates in-line aluminum hooks with rubber grip, and I constantly need to buy new ones. There aren't even any alternative brands for anywhere near a reasonable price! I need all sizes 4.0mm and below.
I am loyal to certain brands, as are many customers. And that brings me to my second grievance. Why are all the good brands of yarn being supplanted by a crappy low-quality brand called Loops N' Threads. I need Caron Simply Soft (a few skeins here and there on the shelf, but no variety and the quantity is always scarce!). The other brands I like are the Caron "pound of love", but this store does not carry enough color variety or enough skeins that are the same dye lot. That is also true about my other favorite: Lion Brand. There is less variety every time I go. No consistency. Another important crochet supply I can't find at this store are waterproof foam blocking boards that fit like puzzle pieces. Am I missing something?
Don't get me wrong - I still love this store! When I'm bored, or I am babysitting my 6-year old niece, I go here and ALWAYS find some cool project to do, book to read or game to play. They carry many unique products and I always find novelties, gizmos and gadgets. I was very happy to find all kinds of slime kits (because that's our favorite!),beads, paints, coloring books, model kits, cake decorating gadgets, origami paper, stationary, clay, colored pencils, *gel pens*, paint markers, storage containers, candles, holiday decorations, lights, CANDY ?, and so much cool stuff for kids (to get them to stop staring at screens all day!).
My only other comment, and it's controversial to say this, but here it goes:
I HATE PAPER BAGS. I cannot carry home pounds of yarn and other stuff in those useless bags. Oh, you want me to pay for a cloth bag? We'll, I certainly would if you had them in stock. Last time I was there my only option was to buy a $5 durable plastic bag. I shouldn't have to pay for bags, in my opinion. What if I had purchased a canvas, white yarn, drawing paper, or something fragile and I walked him in a light drizzle? I'll tell you from experience that I never make it out of the parking lot without my bag tearing and my purchases sometimes getting broken or ruined. What are you guys thinking?? Give your customers a darn plastic bag! Maybe I'll be able to USE it and even RE-USE it! It's so absurd that you refuse to provide what is a standard, super-reasonable, necessary expectation at ANY OTHER STORE. I usually bring my own bag, but my trips here aren't always planned, and on my unplanned trips always result in more purchases, so... yeah...
I need quality plastic shopping bags, <4.0mm Susan Bates crochet hooks, blocking boards, and more variety of quality yarn brands, like Caron, Lion Brand and most importantly, Caron Simply Soft. Then I'll give you 5 ? s.”
