The Mystery Shop

Downtown Oxnard's comics-and-cards corner on South A Street, stocking Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Lorcana singles alongside back-issue comics, board games, and collectibles.

The Mystery Shop wears two hats in downtown Oxnard, and it wears them well. It is a comic book store first — walls of back issues and graphic novels from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, Boom, and IDW — but step toward the game side and you will find a steady lineup of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Disney Lorcana cards, plus board games, toys, and pop-culture collectibles.

That blend gives the shop a neighborhood-hub feel. Locals describe it as a place worth having within walking distance, with staff that make browsing comics and cards equally easy. For collectors, the card side covers singles and sealed product across the major TCGs, making it a convenient stop when you want to fill a Pokemon binder and grab this week's comics in one trip.

The South A Street location keeps long, forgiving hours that few card shops match: open until 10PM Monday through Saturday, which makes it a rare after-work or late-evening option for trading cards in Oxnard. Sunday wraps earlier at 7PM.

If your collecting tastes run wide — a little Lorcana, a little Yu-Gi-Oh, a stack of comics, maybe a board game for the weekend — The Mystery Shop is built for exactly that kind of mixed haul. It is less a single-game tournament room and more a well-rounded collector's general store.
