💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Solid shop with plenty of wax and singles—good mix of new releases and junk wax for digging. They’ve got raw and slabbed stuff behind the counter, and the staff actually knows comps, which is a plus. Definitely more of a sports card operation than TCG-heavy, and while no “grumpy legend” types, it’s run like a proper LCS should be.

- Slabbed card buyers

- Hobby box and graded card buyers
