💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This shop leans vintage—lots of old-school vibe with rows of ’70s and ’80s singles and some junk wax still lurking. Not much action in modern slabs or wax, so if you’re looking to rip Prism or Chrome, don’t hold your breath. The place is a bit cluttered but that’s standard for old shops run by longtime hobbyists; expect a grumpy legend behind the counter who knows his comps from Beckett days.
