Do not pay attention to the negative reviews on here. Especially the most recent one. I have been a customer of Grand Slam for over 10 years and like it better with the newest owner. Most of the negative reviews on here are from people that did not get there way for items they were wanting. Most recent example is individual tried to buy a box single cards that are marked $1 each (most of the cards in this box book $3 to $5) - there were aprox 300+ cards in the box and the guy offered him $35 - that is .10 cents per card - these are not common players! I sell common players at local sports card shows for .10 each. In short he was trying to rip off the store. Then the others recent issue of a comic book he bought for $20 and marked $200. Rick marks all items at book value or double ebay and then discounts from their. Anyone that goes into Grand Slam would know as he plainly has signs out 1/2 off. I asked how much he wanted for the comic in question and he said $35 to $40 due to condition. For the others that are complaining about paying ebay prices they are wanting to buyer cheaper so they can sell on ebay. Rick is the only local card shop in the Charlotte, NC area that I know that sells at ebay value. All the others (4) want full book or close to it for their singles.

For the only comic book/collectible store in Rock Hill its actually pretty decent. Nice size, decent layout. That might not sound like much, but when compared to a place like Rebel Base in Charlotte, which has a superb selection, but has an almost cluttered feeling. It really does make difference to be able to walk around easily, or even sit and look through comics or cards. The people in the store have been friendly with me. But I dont go to a comic book store for customer service. I look for the selection and for negotiable prices. Which this place has, mainly with the latter. More than once Ive gotten reduced prices on comics and magic cards. The real reason I wanted to post this is because I saw someone complaining about not being able to use their e-cig/vape in the store. This should be a no brainer. A great enemy of comic books, and most collectibles like baseball or magic cards, especially in the South, is humidity.

Have went here a couple of times now, just trying to get started on reading some comics. They have good prices for sure, the cheapest Ive seen so far. But the gentleman whos there most of the time doesnt really know anything about comics as far as I can tell. Ive tried to ask him about several different ones and he always comes up blank. Also, my husband and I vape and seeing as Grand Slam is neighbors to a vape shop, I thought nothing of it when we were in the store, so we continued to use them while looking around. The same gentleman was extremely rude to me and my husband about vaping in the store. Whistled at us and told us not to use that in his store, in a very hateful tone. We almost left right then, but I was looking for a gift so I continued my shopping.

This place is one of my favorite places in Rock Hill. Ever since I moved here, I havent found anyone so open, trusting, patient or kind as the owner of Grand Slam. The two guys who work there, (Old Man, and Daywalker) are always good to their customers, and you can feel their love for their work. Its hard work, but they do it diligently. They are even willing to help out their customers. When I came in to sell video games just so i had enough food for the week, he lent me the money, and let me keep my games. This guy is, without a doubt, one of my favorite business owners, and Im proud to say I am a regular of Grand Slam.

My 11 year old daughter and I pick out her Pokemon cards in the store. We have never had anyone be rude to us. My daughter doesnt go poking through anything she shouldnt though, which might be why we have never had a problem. We were checked out by the owner once, who was never anything but friendly with us, and by one of his other employees, who also was very helpful. Its nice to be able to sit down and not be bugged to death about stuff we are not interested in. Id say having manners, and your children having manners in the store goes a long way.

A nice little shop with plenty of seating and walking room and lots to look at. They have vintage toys, games, comics, and of course trading cards. It is clean for the most part, not dusty or cluttered. Not a fancy place but it is warm and welcoming. I think that the price is really reasonable for the comics and games. Ive bought 2 games here and so far they have all worked just fine. :) Ive also picked up a few Indie Comics and for the price it was worth it.

Sat here for 15 minutes and I was looking to buy some stuff. Didnt say hi or give me a minute and I will be with you. As I was walking out he then realized he lost customer. Key to success in any business is knowledge customer. I can see why he been getting bad reviews. If you dont want to help customers out or work ,dont go into customer service driven business. Also very collection of sport cards!

unique locally owned business thats been in Rock Hill 30 years! Previous owner fought stage four cancer for four years. He worked up until the last four months of his life. Sorry if he seemed rude. He was very sick. We love children and have enjoyed growing into having a Pokemon league. Have great selection of sports and gaming cards, as well as many, many comics. Please come check us out.

Dennis is a great, honest, and respectful man. I really enjoy dealing with him and his huge dog. (For Halloween he really should get a Sir Didymus from the movie Labyrinth to ride on the back of his dog!) I order my comics from him, and if they are damaged from shipping, he orders replacements, no questions asked. I highly recommend using them for your local comic book needs.

Dont ever sell him anything!!! He will buy your stuff dirt cheap and sell it for outrageous prices. For example I sold him a comic book for $20 two weeks later I come in and he has a $200 price tag on it. He takes the highest number people are asking on Ebay for it. I went in there thinking it wouldnt be worth much considering the condition it was in.

Grand Slam is the best card store in Rock Hill, hands down. All of the workers there are very knowledgeable, and price everything fairly. I absolutely love going to this place when Im in town! Not to forget they have been in business for almost 30 years for a reason.

Ive been a customer of Grand Slam since a kid and I still often stop by, shop and hang out there. They are locally owned. The owner & manager are respectful and honest people. I highly recommend this shop!

Terrible service and ripped off. The guy is very rude. His language and attitude was coarse and vulgar. Never take kids to this store. Worst store ever seen.
