Nerdstalgia Collectibles and Comics

Childhood friends turned a south Metcalf storefront into a Pokemon, comics, and retro-toy haven where the inventory is as nostalgic as the name.

Founded by childhood friends Greg Henry and Chris Johnson, Nerdstalgia Collectibles and Comics leans into exactly what its name promises. The south Overland Park storefront at 14878 Metcalf blends a trading-card counter with shelves of comics, vintage toys, movie posters, Funkos, and video-game memorabilia, so a card-hunting trip easily turns into a nostalgia dig.

On the TCG side, Pokemon is the headliner, with cards suited to seasoned collectors, competitive players, and kids just starting out. The selection is well organized, which regulars consistently call out alongside the reasonable prices, and the locally owned, two-friends-behind-the-counter feel gives the place a warmth that big-box stores can't fake.

Because the shop wears two hats, it's a fun browse even when you're not buying cards: the comic long-boxes and the retro-toy wall reward a slow loop. That mix also makes it a friendly entry point for parents shopping with kids who want a pack and a comic in the same stop.

The doors are open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 to 6, with Monday and Tuesday closed, so plan a midweek-or-weekend visit. It sits in the busier southern stretch of Metcalf with plenty of parking. For a Pokemon cards Overland Park stop that doubles as a collectibles wonderland, Nerdstalgia is an easy recommendation.
