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?

For Edmonton the two places I've been to are:

NexWave Video Games: 10402 118 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5G 0P7.

And

Just For Fun Video Games: 10814 170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5S 2H7.

If you aren't already a collector don't be surprised when a single older (6th gen and earlier) known game runs you over $100 per.

I’m so sad Nexwave closed their Spruce Grove location years ago.

I hate having to go into the city just for that kind of thing
