πŸ’¬ Collector Notes

Independent editorial assessment

This is a “superstore” experience. While many shops specialize in just one thing, they have an entire department for Sports Cards alongside a dedicated indoor R/C track. Pro Tip: It’s arguably the best place in the region for supplies (sleeves, binders, storage) because of the sheer scale of the shop.
