Ancient Tomb Cards and Comics

South Omaha card-and-comic shop on Q Street with a perfect 5.0 rating, a Friday night stretch to 9PM and a Sunday 11AM-3PM window for easy weekend trades.

Ancient Tomb Cards and Comics occupies Suite 101 at 10841 Q Street, in the 68137 ZIP of southwest Omaha, and it blends two hobbies that often share a customer: trading cards and comic books. Its 5.0-star Google rating across 46 reviews is a clean record, and the shop does most of its day-to-day communication through its Facebook page.

The card side is where we focus. We tag the shop for Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, singles and events, because a combined card-and-comic store tends to stock sealed packs for new players and singles for people who already know the game. Comics add something to do while a friend finishes a trade, and pulling a back issue off the rack is a good excuse to browse longer.

The schedule is predictable. Monday through Thursday and Saturday the doors are open 11AM to 6PM, Friday extends to 9PM, and Sunday is a shorter 11AM to 3PM. Friday evening is the natural time to see the shop at its busiest if you like a crowd; early afternoon any weekday is better for a slow look through the cases or for a conversation at the counter about a trade.

Getting there is easy for anyone on the south and west sides of the metro, and the Q Street corridor places it near plenty of other retail. A phone call to (531) 867-3047 will confirm that a particular booster box or set is on hand before you leave.

For anyone searching for a card shop in Omaha that also handles comics, this one is a worthwhile addition to the usual circuit, especially if you have mixed interests and would rather make one stop than two.
