Collectors Paradise

Collector’s Paradise isn’t closed, it’s just moved to downtown Maynard. Bernie has an amazing collection that includes thousands of vintage Hot Wheels, gorgeous semi-​precious stones (check out the giant amethysts above the counter), costume jewelry, toys, trolls (we used to call them wishniks), and lots, lots more. Definitely worth checking out!

Fun place with something for everyone at a fair price. Floor to ceiling assortment of Barbies, Hot Wheels, Star Wars, Beanie Babies, toys, sports memorabilia, coins and more. If you don’t see it, ask, there is more packed away.

This place is exactly as it says: a collector’s paradise.
99% of the merchandise inside is from the owner’s family’s collections: there are toys (Barbies, Hot Wheels, TY beanie babies), baseball caps (sports and military), and tons of costume jewelry – plus everything else you could imagine. I saw things in there that I haven’t seen in AGES, and I was also able to pick up a collector’s set of Bicycle cards for my brother… as well as a set of cool costume jewelry earrings for myself. *Sheepish grin*
The store’s won numerous awards and has been around for almost 4 years… hopefully it’ll be around for many more years to come! If you get the chance, you really should take a look around… I went around THRICE just to take it all in (every square inch is COVERED with fun stuff), and make sure I wasn’t missing some treasure I could take home. And now that I think about it, there was a duck figurine hair dryer that I really should go back for!!!
