A Cardstore

A Cardstore on Union Road mixes extensive comic selection with Pokemon packs for Buffalo-area families, led by an owner reviewers call fair and funny.

A Cardstore sits on Union Road, a short drive from the Walden Galleria. The shop is as much a comic browser's haven as a card stop, with an organized system that makes flipping through issues easy.

Pokemon cards bring the younger crowd. Parents describe watching their kids buy a first pack and get treated with respect and a joke by the owner, a detail that says plenty about the atmosphere. Prices are described as fair, though some customers note the space is a bit tight.

If you want a Buffalo card shop that also covers comics and collectibles, this is a good place to spend an hour. Hours vary by day: it opens at 1PM on Monday and Wednesday and 11AM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, closing at 7:30PM most days and 5PM on Sunday.

A 4.2 rating across more than 430 Google reviews suggests a store with plenty of loyal customers. Call ahead if you are after a specific product.
