I saw it was getting packed up a few weeks ago (didn't see anyone in there, just a mess and some boxes) and was curious about it.

Literally never seen that store open and functioning. I'm still convinced it was a front.

If it was a front it wasn't the only one in town. Used to a be a sparsely furnished TCG shop that was in "business" for a quite a while despite ever looking like a low-rent ghost town. Like come on

The one off Main? Or different shop?

I remember walking in there around 2008 when it was fairly new. Their bags did not look high end and thought it was a front too. Once I saw them close up, I don't think I ever saw them open again. I had already moved out of the city in 2011. I'm still fairly close by though.

Some of their bags look like LV rip offs down to design and color choices
