With the hobby booming, a lot of card shops seem to be overcharging, but this one doesn't. When I brought in some cards, they told me to hold on to my Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie and my complete sealed inaugural set instead of selling them. That kind of honesty is rare. Highly recommend for collectors and anyone trying to figure out what they have.

It is really taking me aback as I stroll through the aisles and just imagine the things I can now do to decorate and create some more fun filled rooms at home with. I came for a conference and got suckered into coming in (all alone) and wow I stood more than 4 hours. I totally was lost in space because everything is so interesting. This spot is really not super expansive and lets you create the most beautiful venues in your home with just a little bit of creativity. Nice vintage (looking) items to make your decor a hit. Look through national magazines for ideas then come here to re create it. Seriously you have to see how much of a hit this place is. I am really sure that if you come in you will be able to find something useful to bring to your estethic and everyone will truly believe you spent a ton of money on just a few items.
