💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
Heavy on the TCG side—lots of MTG and Pokémon singles behind the counter and sealed product on shelves. Not much for sports cards, so if you’re looking to rip optic or chase slabs, this isn’t the play. Staff knows the game and keeps things sorted; definitely not an old school clutterfest.
