💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Solid midwest shop with a strong mix—plenty of sealed wax from current years and a decent wall of high-end slabs. Singles are organized and priced fairly; you’ll find both raw and graded across sports, with some hidden gems if you dig. Heavy on the sports side, not TCG, and staff actually helps you comp rather than hover.
