💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Solid local spot—clean layout and smart display cases with a tight mix of vintage and modern sports singles. You won’t find massive junk wax bins, but the owner knows his stuff and rotates inventory often, so comping is easy. Not a TCG-heavy place—more focused on Americana oddities and strong PC material for team collectors.
