💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This place is old school—expect tight aisles packed with vintage slabs and tons of raw from pre-Junk Wax through the ’70s. The owner’s a grumpy legend who knows more about Mantle than most auction houses; don’t expect modern wax or TCG heat here. Come for PC gold and history, not for ripping.
