Finally found a good place for collectibles in OC. Clean and well organized. Helpful staff. Spent about an hour in there today talking with who I presume is the owner. I bought a big load of stuff and he worked with me a bit on price even though his prices were already very competitive to online comps. Will be back here probably every week. If you're in the area, and you like Funkos, Pokemon, One Piece etc. this is a must visit.

There is plenty to check out. Large monitors selections for sure. That being said, we are use to our own Lego store which has much cleaner bins to search through and actually allows way better trades. The staff also need to be a little more personable. They were nice but your also dealing with kids and families. Lego is a lifestyle which we’re aware cost money, but make the experience of being in the store one where you don’t want to leave. Again the staff were helpful and offered a lower cost item over what we were looking at. It just didn’t feel homey. It felt like a store. Not a place we can build and enjoy our time. Definitely check them out!
Shoutout to Bronze Age Batcave for being such a great comic book shop! Your selection, atmosphere, and passion for comics make every visit awesome. Thanks for keeping the love for comics alive!
As an old (as in 70’s and 80’s, rather than my current age) comic book collector, this place cries out for my almighty dollar, and whispers quietly to the naive, little boy that dreamt of saving the world one day. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Support your local businesses, friends. Grok can give a better review than I can: Grok says this: Bub’s Comics and Cards is a beloved local comic book and collectibles shop in Gilroy, California, located at 7483 Monterey Road. Established in March 2016, it specializes in a wide array of items for enthusiasts, including new and back-issue comic books, manga, graphic novels, trading cards (like Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, and sports cards), Funko Pops, action figures, novelties, and other pop culture collectibles. The store prides itself on offering high-quality products, rare finds, and great deals, while fostering a welcoming community atmosphere—complete with game nights for card players. Owners are frequently praised for their friendliness and deep knowledge of comics and cards, making it a go-to spot for both casual browsers and serious collectors in the South Bay area. It’s open Monday through Sunday (with slightly extended hours midweek), and it’s even dog-friendly. If you’re in Gilroy, it’s worth stopping by for that classic comic shop vibe—think endless shelves of stories waiting to be discovered.
Thanks for stopping by! This site is where I showcase and show off my extensive collection of rare and vintage finds. I really enjoy having the chance to share my hobby with others. Please get in touch to find out more.
