πŸ’¬ Collector Notes

Independent editorial assessment

This is a classic, sprawling LCS that’s been around foreverβ€”definitely has that “packed to the rafters” old school vibe. They are heavy on the TCG side with deep MTG support, though the singles organization can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on who’s behind the counter. Keep an eye on the modern wax prices as they can run a bit high, but the trade-in scene is solid if you catch their specific “buy days.”
