💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Solid local spot—clean setup and well-stocked across both sports and TCG, with especially good variety in sealed product. Mix of raw cards and some slabs behind the counter, but not a ton of high-end on display. Guy at the desk knows his stuff, and pricing isn’t wild—worth checking if you’re comping for trade bait or filling gaps in the PC.
