π¬ Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This is a classic, sprawling LCS thatβs been around foreverβdefinitely 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.”
