“Amazing. Jeff is the best. If you are looking for a card/sports collectables shop. This is the best one in western NY. It's a real small business, instead of a national giant that doesn't work with you. I'm not even a collector, and his store is still interesting. Looking forward to my next visit.”
“Stopped by for my first non-online metal purchase, and now it'll be the only way I buy! Very welcoming to new people, and willing to answer any questions you may have. A great selection for rounds and bullion, especially if you like to pick a design you like. They also have all the supplies you could ever need! Great prices, will be back!”

“John was honest and fair. My daughter showed a lot of interest and now wants to get into coin collecting. He was so knowledgeable he made my daughter super intrigued. I will definitely recommend John to anyone.”
“Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the products they sell. There’s always a great inventory of new cars, and they have an entire wall of parts for the inevitable destruction that will happen when you get into the RC hobby. Definitely check this place out!”
“Amazing shop, 1st time visitor walked in to see if they would be interested in buying some football cards from my collection. Offered very fair prices and was extremely friendly also has a great collection of cards on display. Will definitely be stopping in again”
“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of getting to slowly know this family owned business over the last 3 weeks. My first encounter was a simple curious visit to see what the shop was like as in my childhood I loved trading cards. I ended up making a purchase of some cards that had done a cross over with my favorite childhood video game merely as a keepsake and interacted with some of the family members who help run the store. All around it’s very friendly atmosphere and offers a vast array of Trading Cards, Board Games and activities that are appropriate for any age level. The owner who was present at the time and his daughter who was handling the cashier both recommended a new Card game called Flesh & Blood.
I ended up revisiting the shop later on for work purposes and got to engage with the owner at length over his business, a shared fond recollection of the early days of gaming and trading cards and so on. I could see what passion he held for his industry and his family and made the decision to come back that evening with my 8-year old son and try the card game they recommended.
I have to preface this next part by giving some industry insight and how impressed I was by the owners service and handling of me and my son attempting to learn the new game. Historically trading card shops start out with a lot of personal investment and passion but due to the tight margins and level of work involved most owners end up losing that enthusiasm and passion for their industry and it usually shows.
James the owner was the extreme opposite of that typical trend and it was refreshing to see this. Not only did he and his staff expertly assess my sons level of understanding of complex card strategies but they literally took the time to help us choose some starter decks they felt would be best suited to each of our abilities. Then the owner literally sat down and whipped out an entire custom made flip board and in the middle of tournament night proceeded to spend a detailed 3 hours with me and my son in teaching and conducting an entire game between us.
That was hands down so amazing and very much so recommendable customer service. Often times in business it’s easy to forget the “do more for others mentality” that helps us become successful to begin with. While I’m no unrealistic dreamer and nor do I recommend he or anyone running a business be expected to do this kind of thing every single time I 110% applaud his ethics, mentality and sincerity. Among the 1000 + business owners I get the distinct pleasure of working with every year Jimmy will seriously stand out as being a model of what it means to run a business with a steward mentality. And all for some $20 Trading card decks no less.
Very impressed sir, VERY IMPRESSED!”
“I was visiting Buffalo a couple weeks ago and stopped into the super fun and queer shop where Mickey (who was awesome!!) was working, and I purchased a gold foil sun original art piece by James.I really love it and it brings a smile to my face every time that I see it. Thanks for running such a wonderful and welcoming shop! ?”
“Staff are always friendly and welcoming. We love coming in the look for unique games or random chackies you can’t get in box stores anymore like this Disk Dash we got for our kids for Christmas. We love perusing George and Co!”
“This is a very nice craft store. Lots of choices and prices are pretty decent. The only issue is the lack of cashiers at the front and the lines are very long. Be prepared to wait a while to check out.”
“First time here, awesome craft store. Somethings are a little expensive an you can find them cheaper online but nothing beats being able to browse a real store and ask questions”
“In spite of the controversy behind the store itself, this is a really great place to shop for craft supplies and decor. There is a huge variety of items in this big store. It's a great place to go for yarn crafts, beadwork, sewing, floral decor, holiday decor, traditional arts, and more! My only complaint is that there isn't a public restroom here (we haven't seen it anyway)”
“Love this shop. They have the coolest stuff which make great gifts. They're willing to negotiate on prices for buying and sell. The staff is extremely helpful. Definitely recommend.”
“With online ordering, I hope we see Michaels around for a long time. I couldn't pick up my order when I placed the order and they held it for me for almost a week.”
“I bought my Christmas tree, lights, figurines, wreath and storage bag from here years ago. They're all great quality, my decor gets compliments every holiday season, and I'll be enjoying them for many years to come.”
“Wow! Just wow!
Second time visiting this establishment; well worth the trip over an international border!
Not a fan of the Bills (Raiders) nor the Sabres (Habs!), but my youngest loves the Bills, loves sports cards, and Dave & Adam’s is the place to be for those two things and more!
There is a STELLAR collection of signed helmets (authentic, on-field and replica) jerseys, posters, pictures &c., &c., &c. It’s like you’re at an HOF when you walk the wall of helmets and jerseys.
If you’re into sports cards and Buffalo’s two major sports teams, look NO further. You could spend a year’s pay just buying their Josh Allen collection (auto, RPA, patch, rookie, and every other variation known to man.
They have incredible cards of all sports and TCG as well. If you’re looking for any manner of cards, chances are you can find it there.
Amazing, amazing store. You could spend hours browsing all the merchandise.
And, as if that’s not enough, they host autograph signings, too.
It is your ONE-STOP shop for all things Bills, Sabres, cards, jerseys, helmets, and more!”

“Really cool old school comic store. TONS of bins to go through, and for the size, sorted pretty well. They mentioned a possible new location. That would be nice since its a bit tight, but its kinda fun like that too. Great prices too. If you are searching for missing issues, this is the perfect place to go.”
“Give the gentleman name Luke a raise. This guy handled a completely one off situation like a complete professional. Even though he may not have initially known what to do, he remained calm and collected while he tried to figure it out, all while cashing out other customers and answering the phone.
I hope this message gets to him as I received my game in the mail two days later. Thank you!”
“Honestly, great shop. Overlooked because of its location (can't see it from the parking lot, unless you're parked right across from it) and how close the other one is. Staff is awesome and incredibly helpful. Haven't gotten a good pull from any of my packs, but that seems like an end user issue, rather than theirs.”
“Very fair with prices for sealed wax of ALL kinds, individual sports cards, grading/authenticity services. Also very fair on prices if you are looking to sell! Definitely worth the drive!”
