“A hidden gem in the heart of Mineola! Seriously if y’all need anything TCG or cards related please head to Major. They are professional, kind, & honest; stuff you don’t see no more nowadays. Thanks for taking care of us as you do and looking forward to my many next visits back!!”
“After my grandpa passed, my family was met with the tremendous task of cleaning out an old man’s home! After stumbling upon some coins and a stamp collection, we took it to ACSB, as it was the first result to pop up on Google. Boy, were we lucky! Rich, Pat, and Eric were incredibly knowledgeable, and handled the transaction with professionalism and honesty! Not only did we learn something about our goods, but we learned about the history of the shop itself! In fact, we were so pleased with their service, that we went straight back to my late grandfather’s to bring back more stuff the very same day! If you’re looking for help on anything collectible, these folks are you people. I highly recommend!”
“By far the best hobby shop around NYC, has been for ages, not many left. Amazing selection of rc cars, planes, boats, model trains and loads of diecast cars of all makes, models and sizes.
Worth the trip, staff are also super friendly and helpful.”
“This is the best comic shop on the island. The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly, if they don't have it in stock and it isn't a wild collector's item, they'll happily order it.”
“My fiancé and I recently stopped by this card shop while visiting Long Island, and I can honestly say it completely exceeded our expectations. I’ve recently gotten back into collecting Pokémon cards, and it’s become harder and harder to find truly good card shops — this place is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
The shop itself is incredibly well organized, with a wide variety of cards ranging from Pokémon to other anime and sports cards. The atmosphere immediately stood out — welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. The staff made us feel comfortable right away and gave us plenty of space to browse at our own pace with absolutely no pressure to buy anything.
One thing that really impressed us was that they even offered us the option to sit in a separate room with couches, tables, and big-screen TVs playing sports while we looked through single cards. That kind of thoughtfulness and customer experience is rare and truly appreciated. The staff was also extremely knowledgeable and even offers grading services, which is a huge plus.
I especially want to give a big shoutout to Derek (hope I’m spelling his name correctly!) for his outstanding customer service. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about the hobby, which made the experience even better.
Overall, this shop has an amazing vibe, top-tier customer service, and a great selection. Whether you’re a serious collector or just browsing, this is a must-visit spot. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.”
“I was over by Blick and had to stop in because you can always find something useful. This time was no exception (one can always use a few more different colored pencils, right?). The store is always well stocked with great quality items, it's clean and the staff is always helpful. Thank you again”
“I found the attention to detail and the informed process to be eye opening and informative. I trusted the individuals i worked with and felt that i was treated very fairly in their assessment of the value of the items I brought to them. I would recommend this business as highly reputable.”
“This is my favorite comic store. Peter, the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and ready to recommend new reads as well as classic comics of all genres.
If you’re looking to start a weekly subscription, or add that special book you’ve always wanted, Phoenix Comics should be your first stop!
Thank you for a continually wonderful experience, Peter!”
“Paul is the man!!! Full of knowledge on all sports, and every item he has in the store. Have been a frequent customer for a few months now, and refuse to go anywhere else for memorabilia. Very wide selection of sports cards. Will be returning ASAP!”

“Great shop! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The selection is always top of the line and accessible at all price points. Highly recommended for anyone who collects sports cards/memorabilia!”
“I get a bit nervous when shopping online at a retailer I have never used before. I could list a number of places NOT to use.
PopnGames was excellent. I received my shipment only a few days after ordering. It was packaged well and in great condition.
Recommended.”
“My daughter had her birthday party here, and we had such a wonderful experience.
Teacher Sylvia was amazing! She prepared everything so thoroughly and beautifully decorated the party room with balloons. The staff even asked about my daughter’s favorite color and decorated everything to match — such a thoughtful touch.
The painting class was fantastic. All of the kids loved painting, and the parents enjoyed participating together as well.
We truly had a great party at Michael’s. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s day so special!”
“If you've never visited Markest Stamp Company, then I HIGHLY encourage you to visit and see what they have to offer! Because:
1. Sharon and Mark are the most easy-going and knowledgeable people I've met. Their familiarity with stamps is a cornerstone to me as I embark on the hobby of stamp collecting.
2. Sharon....oh my, where do I begin? Sharon has ALWAYS been very kind and professional with me. I often stumble in my attempt to explain what I'm after as a beginner, but she is a fountain of experience and know-how ... and nonstop patience (thank you, Sharon!).
3. And let's not forget an essential part that's vital to the beginning hobbyist: PRICE. Markest Stamp Company has the very fairest prices in the stamp market.
4. They're simply unmatched! Whether you're a beginner or seasoned collector, I recommend them above all others!
God bless ~
Mark”
“I have visited their shop on Long Island and it is really nice! I bought some O-96 curves from their shop that day! Prices were reasonable and the people were pleasant and helpful. I later bought more O-96 track from their website, and the experience was the same as the one I had in their store. Would definitely check them out if you are on Long Island.”
“I really enjoy coming to this store especially with the amount of arts and crafts they have in stock. I really enjoy talking to Mr.Melts, he’s very helpful with me ?”
“Coming to this store even in torrential downpour is a ray of sunshine to my day. I was looking for some cards for my Magic: the Gathering deck that I have been work on for months and Danny who was working at the time was very respectful and knowledgeable in the subject. Also people within the store helped me with free cards and knowledge as well. With board games, popular card games, funko pop, 40k Warhammer set and figurines, this place is a one stop shop for anything pop culture and enjoy a conversation or two about your favorite anime. I enjoy coming here, and will come back many days in the future.”
“Awesome local business. It was an absolute pleasure meeting and dealing with Doc. He was educated, personable and showed a lot of passion for the card industry. I am glad we found this local small business and will surely be back.”
“Friendly staff. They always offer to help at checkout. They are knowledgeable about discounts, sales, and coupons. I love browsing the seasonal section as there's always something new!”
“Certain of the items seemed understocked, but that could be due to the Christmas holiday. Overall, it was a nice shopping experience. I went late Christmas eve so no crowds. And, I was able to get what I was looking for.”
“Excellent service.Excellent selection.Knowledgeable staff.A really enjoyable place to go and find your favorite comics old and new collectibles.Highly recommended.”
