So close to the holiday... let's just say that's not going to work! (It's the 23rd of December!) I called this store and they confirmed they had Catan and various expansion packs in stock. The price is exactly what I was expecting to pay and then they had a 10% holiday discount. It's a Saturday and most stores are NOT answering their phones but this store answered on the 1st or 2nd ring!! They set aside two different games for me and confirmed they were open until 10pm! I swung by and the nicest person helped me to check out, signed me up for the rewards program, and explained their business model. You can rent and play games, purchase them, or bring your own! I hope to come back soon! Thank you! (Note they are open until 10pm and they had many tables inside for board gaming!!)

The owner is himself a model builder and is knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to chat with. Overall this place is easy to recommend. When you're driving by, go slow because it's easy to miss the store. It's on one side of a strip mall and given the nearby tree coverage it's easy to miss.

In the shopping bag were these things I wanted to sell: 1) Ten loose packs of hockey cards - Ken's wasn't interested. 2) A sealed box of hockey card packs - Ken's wasn't interested. 3) A ziplock bag of 1988 Topps baseball coins -Ken's wasn't interested But in the binder were over 200 Wrestling cards from the 1990's, and to my surprise, Ken's was VERY interested in buying them. Now I know that shouldn't have been a surprise because I learned Ken's has devoted a whole room exclusively to wrestling memorabilia, and they were super interested in my Hulk Hogans, Andre the Giants, and Macho Man Savages. They bought every single card and I walked out with a price I could live with. If you have any wrestling fans in the family, they will do a pile-driver off the top rope and have a blast looking around Ken's Rasslin' Room. .

I've lived near Middletown for a good part of my life and have visited many areas of it (including…read moreMain Street). However, I was never aware that right on Main Street is a place called Main Street Market that once inside this temperature controlled "mini mall" building are several floors of cool locally owned shops. This is how I came across what I learned to be just newly opened trading card and collectible store, East Coast Collectibles Card Shop. Full disclosure here, I've been a collecting trading/sports cards since I was a kid. I started out with Pokémon and basketball and later tacked on Magic & Yu-Gi-oh cards (Full blown nerd here ). So... East Coast Collectibles is LITERALLY the perfect little shop for someone like me or for those interested in starting card collecting. They have a wide variety of collectibles for sale (autographed Funko Pops, Pokémon collectible sets and signed sports memorabilia), as well as packs or boxes of Pokémon, various sports and Magic the Gathering. They have an entire shelves dedicated to single sleeve cards that are priced in large boxes (so much). Best of all, they have a seating area with a large wooden table for customers to sit down to either sort through these individual card boxes or bring their own collection to trade/sell with the owner. Most shops don't have this seating which has left me as an adult or kid, having to sift through cards on the floor. Yes, as many collectible shops do, the owner is not only interested in selling but will buy cards they are interested in off you for a fair price (I checked ). I had a chance to talk with the owner Scott, Scott runs a very successful EC3 collectible shows at Mohegan Sun and decided to set up shop locally to continue his passion 365 days a year. Scott is extremely knowledgeable on not only the cards that he buys/sells but also understand a lot of interesting stuff about the collectible/autograph business. This card shop is not only ideal for collectible nerds like me but is super family friendly too. While I was there (for quite a while I might add), I saw Scott and another employee having great conversations with families coming in to buy Pokémon cards. I overheard him discussing with the kids the best way to start their deck building for Pokémon and recommendations for which series to start with depending on their Pokémon knowledge. If you are looking to get into card collecting, looking to beef up your decks before and tournament or are interested in expanding/trading your collection, this is a wonderful option that conveniently located off a main road in Middletown. If you aren't fans of trying to find main street parking and use meters, there is a public parking right behind the building off a side street with PLENTY of parking and easy access for those going it alone or with families of all ages. Go visit Scott at East Coast Collectibles, you won't be disappointed!

And while we didn't have time to partake, they have an amazing crafting area in the shop. Prices are amazing and comparable to other online-only shops. They even offer a loyalty program. Overall impression - this shop is amazing and deserves more than 5 stars.
