Mint Collectibles

I love to search out comic stores when traveling for business, and got lucky on my 2nd night of searching and found this store. (The first night found one of the 'chain comic stores' that started in this area, and the less said about that store the better)

Mint Collecatibles seems small on the outside, but there are some impressive comics in this shop. I chatted with the owner for a good long while when I shopped--from what he tells me if it's open he's the one working, as it's his labor of love. You can tell from the selection, too. He's got a great selection of 'wall books' with some fantastic keys--and I'm pretty sure that every single book I saw was in the best condition I'd ever seen that book in--I found a couple of pristine grails and some collection fillers, and they were all fairly priced and in terrific shape. The grading was accurate as well. For those in the know he had a Hulk 102 that was probably in the 7.5-8.0 range and at least 4 copies of SM 300 both graded and ungraded. You'll also have to shop there in person, as there's no internet shop for this store (hooray for not competing against other bidders!).

He was grading a really gorgeous golden age collection when I got there, and was happy to show them to me while we discussed the hobby. He knows what he's talking about, and made me a very fair deal when I was finally ready to check out.

I'm assuming if you're reading this you probably are a comic collector, but just in case some other search brought you here I will say he had a nice wall of sports cards both graded and ungraded, a large collection of toys and a LOT of pops--none of that stuff is really my jam so I can't speak to pricing, selection, etc, but it looked like an impressive amount.

If you're searching for a comic shop in the Boston area it's worth the drive to visit Mint Collectibles.

Great shop, everything is organized and the owner Jon is always helpful, the have nice collection of comics & trading cards.

Clean store, well organized. Person working was incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't speak to anything outside of comic books here but this place has some incredible stock at fair values. I can't wait to return.

Great local comic shop. Have gone in a few times and they always have plenty of issues of the new comics. Went in yesterday with my son and was beyond helpful. My son opened a Gold Pokemon card in the shop and the owner gave him a free card case to keep it safe. Highly recommend and will be back often.
