Guess it all depends what you’re looking for and where you’re staying. For example I work in Cleveland actual Cleveland but live in Avon which is a 30 minute commute. My comic store is called Comics Are Go they just got a new owner a year or two ago super nice guy who has been buying up collections and likes back issues. I just stopped in the other day and sold him some Golden Age stuff but he has never really dealt with it much more Silver age and up and he has an impressive amount of original art as well that he was kind enough to break out from the back and nerded out for a bit. Closer to Cleveland but not in downtown is a place called Carol N Johns that I used to have a pull service with back when I lived in Lakewood which is even closer to downtown. Again no Golden age but they have some silver and just about everything bronze and up their back issue selection is pretty decent for a comic shop. Those are really the only two stores that I ever frequented more than once. York comics went out of business so if you do a google search and find them don’t go there. They were actually owned by a buddy of mines father in law. John Haines the overstreet advisor has a nice selection of books he sets up at shows around here and has a shop somewhere on the east side of Cleveland in a mall though called Comics and Friends. Doesn’t really carry his “con stock” in the store though. 

I’ve never had the pleasure YET of meeting Rick in real life but my guess would be if you’re in Cleveland and want to see some AWESOME BOOKS your best bet is to set up a lunch with him hehe!! hope this helps 😊
