💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Legit shop with a solid wax shelf and plenty of raw singles, especially if you’re into Pokémon, MTG, and Yu-Gi-Oh—definitely heavy on the TCG side. Sports slabs looked limited but decently curated, so don’t expect a wall of high-end. Staff knew their stuff and didn’t mind talking comps or digging out stuff from behind the counter if you ask.
