I've been interested in the collectibles industry for a long time, and when I decided to build a directory, comic shops were the obvious place to start. Every time I traveled, I wanted to know which local shops were nearby — and the existing options were either out of date or only listed Diamond customers. So I built something better. Every site in our Coastal Directory network — including this one — is run by one person from Long Island, NY, not a venture-funded team trying to flip you to enterprise sales. If you email me, I'm the one who replies.
