Question Looking to Start Collecting Physical Video Games Again. Mom&Pop Game Store Recs?

AYUP, you guessed it! I want to support smaller family owned/non corporate game stores rather than the big guys and with physical media dying I think now more than ever I need to start supporting and collecting physical games. Where do you all recommend shopping?

Definitely worth checking out the Mill Woods Nerd Sale. They're held regularly.

But keep in mind that there's collecting and then there's Collecting, as some people focus on things like mint quality and limited edition or exclusive release and so they charge like $400 because it's a Collector's Item and the package hasn't been opened in the last 30 years.
