💬 Collector Notes

Independent editorial assessment

This spot’s got a decent spread of wax—mix of modern retail and some hobby—but what stood out was the case work: some nice raw rookies and mid-tier slabs, not just junk wax filler. It leans sports-heavy, especially baseball and football, though there’s a small TCG corner. Staff actually knows comps and won’t lowball you if you bring decent trade bait.
