💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This place leans vintage-heavy—solid junk wax era stock and a few nice 80s/90s slabs in the mix. Singles are rotated often, and the guys behind the counter actually know comps without having to pull out eBay every time. Not much in the way of wax to rip, so come hunting for PC or fill holes in older sets.
