I know zak from when I first moved back to Chicago and I got a job at a Salvation Army Thrift Store. He was a regular customer - always on the lookout for the very interesting historical, collectible, and unusual items that spoke to him. His choice of purchases spoke to me very much. He had an eye for collectibles. And he was as nice to me — a stranger, as if we had been friends for years. And that has, indeed, now become years — having met in 2017.

The last $5 mystery pack I got came with 2 Pokemon booster packs. One was a Pokemon Go Spanish edition but luckily I can understand those cards AND I got a Squirtle that I needed...

First time coming in here I was blown away with the amount of awesome pieces they have from MJ collectibles to my latest obsession, Pokemon 151. It’s like jumping in a time machine every time I come back here.
Run by the friendliest family, I can’t speak more highly of this shop. Yesterday when I was in there, Isaiah helped me out which he has in the past…he’s the man! Jordan was also super helpful and kind another visit.
Yesterday picked up two Pokemon center ETB’s and some top loaders. It’s always a joy coming here and will definitely be back soon. Gotta...
