Get there soon as they are going out of business. Good selection of records, posters, pins, action figures, trading cards and all sorts of collectables. Sad to see them go, The owner Bill passed away a year ago and from what I heard there has been some issues over what to do with the business, so sad he was such a loving man that always had a great conversation and loved running this unique place. I really wish someone could come in and buy it to continue his dream.

I was looking for Captain Spaulding, and he was here. I only wish I could have gone inside the fun houses (they are closed for probate). This place is amazing. A labor of love. Check it out.
