About Our Collectibles Store Owner, Vic:
"I am the proud owner of Collectibles And More In-Store. I have been an avid collector for 50 years. My interest in collecting began on my 8th birthday when my Uncle gave me my first Hot Wheels.
It was the "sweet 16" custom Mustang released that same year (1968). Even though it screamed to me, "let's drag race", my Uncle suggested to me that I consider it a treasure and keep it in its packaging unopened. I did just that.
My Uncle, who owned a service center, was very passionate about cars. So when he gave me the Hot Wheel, he went into great detail about the pony car's engine and I was instantly intrigued.
Cars became a huge part of my life. I've loved working on them, driving them, and collecting small versions of them. As you can imagine, after all these years, my diecast cars collection is massive.
As I grew older, my interests widened and I started additional collections including Coca-Cola collectibles, DC Comics collectibles, Funko Bobbleheads, movie memorabilia, and limited edition artwork.
My collections then expanded further to also include swords, knives, Medieval weapons, skulls, skeletons, vintage toys, collectible games, piggy banks, cookie jars, lunch boxes, and steins.
I've collected some items because it was fun. I've collected other items because they are aesthetically pleasing. Certain items I've collected because they are tangible representations of characters, people, places, and eras that have had an effect on a generation. Other items I've collected to complete a collection. No matter what the reason, being a collector has been very rewarding for me.
Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa which is a rare eye disorder that is currently incurable. After coming to terms with the harsh reality that I will soon be completely blind and consequently will no longer be able to enjoy the items I once delighted in collecting, I decided it was time to fulfill my long-term goal of opening a Collectibles Store.
Hence the birth of Collectibles And More In-Store which is now my main focus (no pun intended). Now others have the opportunity to enjoy the items that I have collected up until this point."
About Our Collectibles Store Director & Webmaster, Melissa:
"I've known Vic for 45 years and hunting for Collectibles has forever been our common interest as well as consulting with each other on various acquisitions for our collections.
For nearly 14 years I worked with Warner Bros. negotiating and preparing agreements that granted the name and likeness rights of their intellectual properties on consumer products.
A few years ago, Vic approached me about assisting him to open his Online Collectibles Store and I happily jumped on board. As the Chief Operating Officer, I designed and maintain this website.
In addition, I take the item photos, compose the descriptions, write the articles, and manage the store's inventory AND I DON'T GET PAID TO DO IT (I work for Vic for FREE). Vic's inventory is enormous, so every week I add more items to the store.
If there is a particular item that you are looking for that you can't find on our website, it doesn't mean we don't have it. It just might not be listed yet on our Online Collectible Store. So contact us to see if it's in our inventory.
I am continually updating this website with additional collectibles so please keep coming back (save us in your Bookmarks/Favorites) and subscribe to our free periodic Online Collectibles Store New Arrivals Newsletter.
