Collector’s Corner is a special room that houses books, collectible records, art work, ephemera, and other
items, including toys and games that are priced individually. This may include first editions, books signed by the author,
and other high quality items. Prices start below $10.00.
Items are priced based on value and condition. Prices are reduced daily AFTER the first weekend
on a percentage basis, from 10% down to 60% on the last day.
Since the room is relatively small, we limit the number of customers to seven at one time. Items
must be purchased before leaving the Collector's Corner room.
Below are some of the items which were available at the Fall 2011 Sale.
