We Won "Best Comic Shop" in SA 2010!!
Here's a link to the site Best of SA 2010, or if you don't want to go there. you can read it here. Best Comics ShopCollectors Authority After talking to store owner Mario Delgado, it seems Collectors Authority might have managed to edge out the competition in this hard-fought category because of the lack of an ampersand in its name. There’s no fantasy gaming to be found at CA, just comics — boxes and boxes of boarded and bagged back issues and store-length shelves lined with new releases. Either that, or it’s the 4-feet-tall Witchblade statue that greets customers when they walk inside. A few smaller plastic action heroes sit for sale in glass cases, but even most of those are for display only. That goes double for the KISS figures on the wall, we presume, but before you accuse Delgado of straying from his mission statement by branching out into rock-’n’-roll fanboydom, check out his small collection of KISS Psycho Circus comics. We couldn’t find the issue with their blood in the ink, though. 2. Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy, 7959 Fredericksburg, (210) 615-1229, 3. Atomic Comics & Gaming , 204904 Broadway, (210) 826-3223

From: Sostenes Hernandez CONGRATS ON WINNIN BEST SHOP 2010!!! U SHOULD OF WON YEARS AGO AND EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT! MAKE MINE MARVEL, MAKE MINE C.A.!!!
From: Doug Rockstead Just thought I'd chime in. I live in Austin Texas, but when I visit San Antonio, this is my favorite comic shop in town. The focus is on comics and he actually carries back issues. The store is clean and organized and they aren't too proud of their comics when it comes to pricing. Best selection of back issues in town, including Silver Age.
From: Bill Smith Well it looks like the secret is out. Everyone knows what costumers of Collectors Authority always have. Mario, Pete and the crew are the best in San Antone hands down. You guys keep the main thing the main thing. Comics. No one deserves it more. Congradulations!
From: Benny Velez I have read the great comments about Collectors Authority and I have to agree. This place ROCKS. Service is excellent and the staff is awesome.
From: Alfonso Rangel Hey guys, just wanted to say that Collectors Authority is the best place to buy comics.
From: Alejandro Luevano First heard of the shop when I was home on leave looking for figures while stationed in Germany with the army back in 1998 I think. Kept returning there every time I was home on leave and continue up to this day checking the shop for cool items and comics.... You guys are AWESOME....
From: Frank Barrientes Hey guys!! I would like to formally address & thank the super team at Collector’s Authority. I am new to the world of comics & have been on an awesome roller-coaster ride since first being introduced via the Planet Hulk run. I have since visited many shops in search of the perfect store that would be able to combine excellent service, quality selection, and seasoned experience. I have found that store: Collector’s Authority!! Every couple of weeks I take the 30+ minute drive from my part of town down Military to collect my goodies. Let me tell you, it’s worth it!! My experience has been nothing short of superior!! I’ve even managed to convince a few friends to cancel their existing subs & join me at CA. We now excitedly look forward to making our bi-monthly visits to the store. Mario & Pete, and everyone else at Collector’s Authority… thank you for your continued commitment to servicing your customers. There is none better in San Antonio...
From: Mark A Cain Hi, Pete & Mario I just wanted to take the time and say thank you. I wish the best for you and your families. Still the best comic book store on the plant.
From: Trent Reyes Mario, Hello, you may remember me as the guy who gets 2 Dark Tower comics and 1 variant. I really appreciate that you will hold a variant for me every month. I'm just use to the collectors chain stores, where I run in then out and no one really has an interest in what I'm looking for, much less what I'm talking about. You surprised me by remembering who I was and what I was looking for. That was cool. Because none of the other places would hold a variant for me. That is why I have decided to make your new shop my new place to go for comics. Since I work a night shift I usually make our conversations short every time I visit your shop (sorry about that). My wife has also become a collector, but what she likes is usually hard to find and not cheap. I get her anything from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Got the movie cards too) One question that she asked for me to mention was "What are the names of and how many comics were made by Glenn Danzig?" That’s pretty much all I have to say for now. Thanks for your time, and can't wait for next months Dark Tower!
THANKS!!
From: John Trevino Wow what can I say CA is the best. I've been collecting comics with CA since about the beginning of this year and I have a bout 2 boxes worth of comics already. I've been to other places and no one treats me better than guys like Mario and Pete they're friendly and are willing to answer any of your questions. they have reignited my love for Spider-man. plus they are huge COWBOYS and SPURS fans. props guys.
From: Abram Gallegos Collector's Authority, I first started going in July and the variety of comics was incredible plus the staff itself was great. They're the best around!!! I probably go and get some new comics about twice a week so I'm a frequent buyer (I'm the kid who always comes in with matching clothes and probably a crooked cap I just left the store bout 2 hours ago ha,ha).
