Best Collectibles Store South Bend Near Me

Steve Adamczyk: Great selection, outstanding service this place is fantastic.

Nima Kharazi: Pretty cool collectible items. Fair prices.

Carlos Cornay: My son and I stopped at a cigar shop to pick up a few smokes for the weekend. When we came out, we looked across the parking lot and saw Augie’s store, the Mecca of all stores. We’ve always heard of the place but never have found it until last fall. Augie is a great host and his store has anything a fan could want.

Joseph Manak: Tried to go here twice this weekend. Closed both times.10:30 a.m. sat and 2 pm Sunday google maps said open both times. Disappointed was looking forward to checking this place out.

Tim Eash: Great place to go loved it. Will go again. Is there some kind of notification of up coming events. Would like to know. Thanks 😊

Nick Dean (pixiecd): Great place with really cool stuff. We got to meet Auggie which was really cool!

B B: Hands down the only and best place to get your memorabilia! Augie is a super cool and friendly guy, I'll definitely be back!

Roger Williams: Augie's Locker Room, what a treat. Located at 1811 S. Bend Ave, South Bend, Indiana just East of Notre Dame Campus but believe me when I say it is as much of Notre Dame as you may want in a short space of time. I was there for my first visit of about an hour on Wednesday, April 26, 2021 and in that time was feasted on the nostalgia of the college with a special focus on the football teams and a special light on Knute Rockne. I was there with my author friend Jeff Harrell who has recently published "Rockne of Ages" to do some video for the book filmed by Georges. Our host was in fact Augie and believe me when I say he is one of a kind, knowledgeable and affable, absolutely the person you want to greet you to his place. I will be visiting his place again soon.

Rigoberto Olivarez: Awesome place!!

Tony Bliss: Jim and Kyle are the best. They provide memorabilia you wouldn't find anywhere else for a price you wouldn't find anywhere else.

b ell: Great experience! Loved seeing Augie. Felt right at home!

Chad McFarland: A great place for Vintage ND stuff

Richard Copeland: No better place to purchase AUTHENTIC NOTRE DAME memorabilia...

Terry Army: Lots of interesting items.

William Batson: Great store with a huge variety of items for sale or on display. Perfect spot to view/purchase Notre Dame history.

Todd Loughman: If you like Notre Dame it is a must visit.

Roccos Pizzeria: The best shrine of Notre Dame memorabilia you will find. Great owners and always some great stories!

Matthew Jackson: Over priced junk

Alex Goulet: The closest thing to a Notre Dame sports museum in South Bend. Worth a visit for any ND sports fans!

Debbie Simpson: Found item we were looking for from 1998.

Tom Smith: Great staff and easy access

Rock Henry: A+

deb kline: Awesome cubs. Gear

Eugene Cho: Decent selection and lots of stuff for tots

Tad Dickerson: Great selection on SB Cubs gear Go SB Cubs!

Curtis Drake Sr: This place is great. You can get all the South Bend Cubs gear you are looking for. They have everything from hats to shirts. They also carry a wide variety of souvenirs. They have collectibles for all ages. Things that the kids love along with things for the adults shelves. On top of all this they also carry Chicago Cubs merchandise as well

Richard Westlund: It's the Cubs! Nothing more to say.

Tammy Phillips: Lots of SB Cubs gear !!! I purchase a blue Thirsty Thursday t-shirt !!

Mitch Kaylor: Great selection and prices!

Jason Shepperd: Amazing staff and selection

Stefan Lula: Like any sports team store, it's quite expensive

Ronald Kadoh: Best prices ever.

D M: Has a store on Ebay. Was selling a comic book and listed it as taking offers. My offer was $1.00 less than his Buy It Now price and he blocked me from buying. What a joke. If you don't want people to "Make Best Offer", shut that feature off. I was then willing to pay full amount but can't now cause blocked. After reading reviews here, so glad I didn't buy from Knappy's.

L Diaz: Rare gem if you collect specific comics. I wish they could ship so I can buy more.

Robin Lee: V we to nice and friendly place to go. Great atmosphear

Tami Grimslid: The owner was so rude, he didn't acknowledge us at all. My son, daughter inlaw and grandson were visiting from out of state. They are huge collectors of action figures, both my son and I tried to start a conversation with the owner and he was very short. I don't want them to visit this store the next time they come in. We can find a store with a friendly employee in the future.

Richard Pauwels: Very knowledgeable good customer service first time there the owner know his stuff I don't know what the other reviews are talking about if you don't like his rules then don't go the man's just trying to protect his investment from your kids grubby miss can you blame him

Damien Lehfeldt (TheFencingCoach): The owner is as standoffish as everyone says. On the computer in front when I walked in. No simple “hello. Can I help you find anything?” Dead silence. Signs everywhere about “don’t touch this, don’t touch that, blablabla” like we were going into this guy’s personal collection and not a comic store. I searched the store (super limited selection) for about 30 minutes, didn’t see anything I wanted and absolutely nothing out of his mouth when I left. Dead silence again. Odd experience, odd store run by an odd dude. Do not recommend.

George Hell: This comic store does not allow children under 16 without the accompaniment of a parent. Even as a direct relative over 18 I was not able to enter the store with them even if they were to stay in the designated children’s area. Bad service, unfriendly/sarcastic staff, and ruins the idea of youthful energy at a comic book store.

Peach Zwiller: If you are under 16 they kick your kids out! They should get an adult reader section! Worst ever!

Leanne Marcheschi: The whole experience was extremely awkward. Walked into an empty and silent store except for the cashier or presumably owner sitting at the counter. He didn't for one second look up from his laptop to greet us the entire time we walked around, even walking passed him a number of times. Won’t be back, a simple hello goes a long way.

Austin Borton: Great little shop! I found a few Lego minifigures, and a pop that I was looking for. People are being harsh on the owner. He probably has social anxiety or something along those lines. We had a nice chat and I will definitely go back when I’m in the area again.

Tony Troiola: Clean, organized and solid selection. Owner was pleasant.

Eric Baker: Zero stars. Owner told my 10 year that he to little to look through the boxes. Didn't even offer to help find what he was looking for. Won't be buying anything there again. I'll take my family elsewhere to spend money on comics

Pat Dixon: Used to visit every couple weeks or so.  Has a decent selection BUT... If you're old school and are particular about good customer service, this is NOT the place to be.My final straw?  A little over a year ago when covid was in its prime, he was offering  grab bags with purchases for free comic book day.  I texted him with a few questions on what he had available.  Was very vague so i called but he didn't answer. So I went ahead and made the 30 minute drive surely knowing he'll see its me and we can work something out.  I called when I got there (curbside only).  Since he never confirmed having the books I was curious about, I simply said go ahead and just grab a few current titles you recommend and I'll buy em.  He comes out moments later and shoves the grab bag my way and tells me not to worry about it.  I again insist he just surprise me with a few new books. He rudely declines and walks back in.  I go home and texted him thanks and also apologize for any misunderstanding.   Doesn't say a word and blocks me.  He loses a steady customer just like that.He's always had an awkward personality but I never thought it would come to something like this.  He shouldn't display any negative traits when customers walk in and should always act courteous and professional.  So again, if these things are important to you then I highly recommend  Khahan's Realm in downtown Elkhart.  Steve  instantly tries to establish a friendship with his customers, learns their favorites and always makes suggestions.  Not to mention he's always having specials going on.I'm gonna end this review on a positive note especially since Knappy's has a new location. If the owner reads this, please act like you care about who walks into your shop. Simple things like greeting, thanking, learning names, etc.  Strike up conversations, especially with newer folks. It'll encourage them to come back. I've helped run comic shops as well over the years and believe me, it's best for business.  Good luck to you in your new location!

Faith Boynton: rude. abrupt. not welcoming. did not seem to want anyones return business

Alayna Duis: Ok prices but terrible customer service from the owner to the point where I wont be back.The owner treated my family terrible. I dont leave reviews often but terrible experience with the owner. My first time there was a few days before this and the one employee was very nice. Do not go when the owner is there. It was not a pleasant experience.

Timothy Schut: I have tons of Yu-Gi-Oh cards to sell

Marcus Yeagley: The owner Tim is a good guy, he has a good selection of sports teams apparel. You can find just about anything with your favorite teams logo on it. He has college teams as well as professional teams. You can find something in just about everyone's price range from five dollars and up. He also has some really nice collectibles for sale including autographed jerseys and different pictures and memorabilia from the biggest stars in the leagues. He also has a selection of TCG for sale including some singles. There is also a small section of collectible money, featuring old coins some rare and the same goes for paper currency.

Jaxon Painter: Do they buy cards? I’ve been there before just didn’t ask. Great place though.

Jacob Schmidt: First things first, if I could leave zero stars I would. The workers are incredibly rude and it’s almost as if they don’t want your business. It’s stores and people like this that ruin the hobby. If you want to buy boxes at a 100% markup, this is your place. If you want to pay $20 for a card that is selling consistently for $5 on eBay, this is your place. Essentially, if you want to throw money away you’ll get more satisfaction flushing it down the toilet than handing it to these clowns. They will not treat you with respect. These lowlifes work in the business of scamming, not in the hobby of sports cards. I strongly consider you take all of your business to quite literally any other place. As a matter of fact, if you walk right past this store and carry on straight you can use the money you just saved from not buying anything here and you can get some Ben’s Pretzels. The only “Premium Investment” you’ll find here is the investment of not walking into this store.

Kaysie Ratliff: I believe the baseball card hobby consist of 90% people that love the hobby and love the game, and then there’s that 10% of people that try to profit extremely off others people love for the cards. This store is part of the 10%. I cannot believe the outrageous prices for cards in this store. When you are selling cards that wouldn’t sell for more than $5 on EBAY for $20…come on. Be better! Then the man that was working there tonight has the audacity to have an attitude and be rude. 1. You sell cards and boxes for outrageous prices 2. You have the worst attitude and personality towards your customers.Listen, I know about profit margins but this place profit GOUGES.I would never spend any sort of money in this store again due to the disrespect I felt from the employee and the prices.

Eric Lumpkin: Store’s strict no returns policy means you can’t return MTG precons that aren’t in English.

Kenny Moore: STACK UP SOME CARDS TO HOPEFULLY MAKE SOME $$$$ HMU

Rebecca Robertson: This store 100% sold us a fake Pokemon card. My husband went in and explained it to them incase they were unaware of it and the guy got IRRATE with him. Wouldn't even touch or look at the card just kept stating they don't sell or deal with fake cards.All we wanted was money back or exchange the card since on their own receipt it says exchanges only. My husband was then told if we exchange the card he would be BANNED from buying singles from the store forever. And said he would put the card right back up for sale because it's not fake. Have proof of photos in comments. Not only is the card smaller than a normal pokemon card, the back is glossy and the print is messed up. Bad Buisness all around with how he was treated with the situation.

Rick Harfert: Great place for sports cards and collections

Your Neighbor: A nice place

John c: So. I was in the area and figured Id check out a local card shop and spend some money. Didn't spend a dime there. Who ever was working , did not even acknowledge my presence. LOL. I wouldn't waste my time here.

Jester: After 30+ year's of owning sports cards I decided to wipe the dust off from some of my collection. Before I go to deep here yes I could have sold my cards online making some actual good money. But I'm more on the lazy quick get it done side, so I decided to find a local card shop that could potentially buy my collection of cards. I walked into the store and was greeted by an gentleman who already must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. He immediately turned me away saying my cards were worth next to nothing. He told me my Jordan cards were worth nothing because he doesn't play anymore in the NBA. I walked out of this establishment feeling embarrassed and judged. If your looking for a good card shop to try to sell your cards at do not waste your time.

Ryan Pitzer: What a joke. I asked the dude a simple question and he got so mad that he didn’t understand the question. So I explained what I meant and he told me if I was tryin to do that in his store I could leave. I was takin back but how rude he was. All I asked was “you don’t weigh your packs do you”? He flipped out like he was guilty but then said he didn’t understand what I meant. Anyways the prices are freaking UNBELIEVABLY HIGH” if you want magic Pokémon or something like that go to fantasy games in roseland that’s a card shop!! This dude should be closed down.

Bean Bueno: 90% sure that the pokemon packs are resealed

Casey Gibson: Lots of great stuff to pick from

MR. MARRERO: This spot 👌 have eveything of sports like football 🏈 basketball 🏀 baseball ⚾️

CraftySquid 9001: Holy hell I thought eBay prices were bad. Pokemon cards here are being charged at scalper prices. Even a set like Fusion Strike, months after release, is being charged at scalper prices

Philip Sleeseman: This place has such great collectibles and gift items. Need a really cool Christmas or birthday gift that will make other sports fans jealous of your recipient? Then shop here as my family and I do. Oh and they are reasonably priced and of high quality.

Jeff Smith: Good selection of sports items.

Sandro Kenkadze: Very friendly stuff, I love this place you can find everithing you want, amazing books, jewellery, Old tools, rear toys, and lot of other things.... Highly Recommended place, if you are Antiquity person....

michael Krou: Great place so many antiques and collectables it was unreal it was like walking back in time

Richard Norton: They have the goods

Serafina Fiechtner: A decent Antique store, if you have the money. This is mostly expensive stuff, but we've found some deals! Dad has a little cabinet he keeps the fine dining ware he got from here, around 300-400 bucks I believe. Many expensive stuff here though. Some possibly museum level stuff. I like looking at the misprint and old money cabinet though! (Some Indian head and wheat pennies, some pennies minted very off center, 2 dollar bills, and the like.)

James Bittle: Awesome PlaceFriendly Staff

Robert Peterson: A super antique mall. Great service.

eric thomsen: Clean and well laid out. Americana

Tracy Ralston: It goes on forever around every corner is another room full of more beautiful things

Joshua Longerot: A wonderful antique store. All of the rooms and sections are very nicely arranged and displayed. Very nostalgic for me when simply wandering around soaking up the atmosphere. They have been troubled with a few roof leaks requiring a bit of plastic sheating and buckets, but was barely noticeable. And the building is now getting a new roof installed so hopefully this won't be a problem again.

Eli Cantu: Nice friendly patient service

Maria Soma: I love this place! So many beautiful things at reasonable prices!

A.J. McGunigal: Hat did not match picture / description and still had to pay to return it.

Jake Fowler: A fun place to shop, the staff is very helpful and you can tell that they put a lot of work into the store presentation. It’s the only place in town I can find wolverines gear. So I will definitely be back!

Debbie Lewallen: Not enough praise for the integrity, helpfulness, and kindness for the employees of this store. Thank you thank you Alex and staff for finding the lost hat and refunding the money. My granddaughter will be thrilled when she receives her new correct size hat.

Kristen Smith: I love stopping in Rally House! I have purchased some great apparel for my IU Hoosiers and super fun Cubs merchandise. I found the perfect Christmas gift for my 88-year-old father who has everything, but is an avid IU fan and alum. The store associates are friendly and helpful. Such a wonderful addition to this shopping plaza.

Sharon Hernandez: Finally stopped in, great Customer service! Good variety of items. Need a bit more of women's items of the White Sox:) I'll be back!
