💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
This is a “vintage vault” run by a true hobby legend. It’s packed from floor to ceiling with items like 1961 Yankees team-signed balls. Pro Tip: This is a “destination store” for serious vintage collectors. Don’t go in expecting a quick visit—give yourself an hour to hear Cal’s stories and dig through the historical relics.
