💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This place leans grading-heavy, so if you’re looking to sub slabs or crack-and-regrade, they’re dialed in. Not a ton of wax to rip, but you’ll find a solid selection of slabs and mid-to-high-end singles, especially modern. Staff actually knows comp trends, which is rare outside bigger cities.

- Sealed wax buyers
- Hobby box and graded card buyers
