Maineiacs Collectibles — Local services in South Portland

Two not so great experiences with the owner makes me never want to go in again. First I brought in a Joe Burrow kaboom and he offered 400 for it. If you’re a collector then you know how much that’s a low ball offer which is whatever business has to make money. Second, my wife went in there before Christmas and purchased a ufc box for me and they had a conversation and he expressed that he was getting more into ufc and blah blah. So on the way home from work I took time to bring in a whole book of ufc cards only autos and numbered. He skimmed through it and bought two cards for cheap. Thought u were getting more into UFC? Guess not. Then what really bothered me was the stop in here and there and maybe I’ll buy more? Ya cause that’s what I want to do. Then the laugh and “there ya go you have money for tolls now.” Was a nice farewell. Waste of my time more like it. Thanks! His kid and the young girl are nice/ easy to deal with but ya I’m all set going...

He tried offering 50. That guy is a joke, and a scammer. Keep your cards...

I have stopped in the past few weekends to grab a box of cards. The staff each visit has been helpful as I haven't purchased cards in years so I am unfamiliar with the new products. An employee there named John helped me on my most recent visit. He took the time to chat with me, and help get me up to speed with some of the newest hobby boxes they had in. I was also able to pick up an awesome signed Paul Pierce basketball for a great price. I'm hoping they get in some UFC hobby boxes so I can keep supporting the business. Great store with...
