Came here looking to either sell or trade some of my autograph and jersey cards for other…read moreplayers/relics/etc. Honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had as I left a very happy customer with 4 new cards to add to my collection! Even though it was my first time here you can be sure I'm coming back to both grow my own collection and barter more of it! 10/10

Stopped in just to browse, and the experience was disappointing. The owner was rude and made the…read moreatmosphere feel uncomfortable by constantly staring us down as if we had to buy something. The selection was very limited, and the prices were outrageous--I saw a Topps Series 2 Baseball Jumbo Box marked up by about $150 over retail. Between the poor customer service and excessive pricing, I wouldn't recommend this shop. There are much better card stores out there.

Went here about a week ago to get a simple cartridge swap done on my basic Audio Technica…read moreturntable. Decided to go on Tuesday since it was their late day. I arrived there about 30 mins before their close time but unfortunately they had some issues that caused them to close early. Anyways, I spoke with the owner John and he said he was gonna return in an hour so I decided to grab something to eat then head back since it was a decent drive from my house. Took a little longer than an hour, but things happen. When John got there, he gladly changed the cartridge for me on the spot (during after hours) and I hung out there while listening to some music on his killer setup. He was a very friendly guy that got the job done in 30 mins and for a reasonable price. My advice is to call before you go to make sure that they're open but they're a great little shop that has plenty of experience (27 years worth!) I'll definitely be returning I'm sure for all related repairs/audio purchases.

I love this funky little store and it has something for everyone. Original graffiti art can be…read morecustomized on pretty much anything (by the owner himself) and works by local artists are displayed throughout the store. Handmade jewelry, Knick knacks, records, clothing, home decor, furniture, candles (graffiti scented!) and much more. This place is like a treasure chest of unique items - and you can't find them on amazon! When we came for the opening my husband purchased a smaller art piece for his man cave and I will be back to buy an original Sade t-shirt for my sister when it nears her birthday. Tons of hip hop references from my youth are throughout, nostalgic for us older millennials but works by young artists keep it fresh for those who don't remember rap before Biggie died. If you don't find what you are looking for, ask the owner (Sam) and I'm sure he will make/find it for you. Shop local New Jersey!

The uniqueness of his shop and the kindness of his personality are the icing on the cake when needing to scratch the creativity itch. In an age of Etsy having literally under the sun, it's nice to have a real life local artist who covers everything and anything. Don't try to understand it, just seriously go.
