Capital City Collectibles Moves to New Location

Eastside Lansing's Capital City Collectibles is cleaning house and moving from its 2016 E. Michigan Ave. to a new venue a few doors down, making way for a new business.

According to excerpts from the article:

After five years at 2016 E. Michigan Ave., Capital City Collectibles is moving a few blocks away to a smaller location because the building whose first floor he leases has been sold. So, between now and the end of the month, Capital City will be having a massive sale to get rid of inventory as well as an auction on Oct. 30. At his new location, at 1723 E. Michigan, the plan is to have a more focused, accessible stock.

On Friday, Jahner was sorting through his comics for duplicates, sending redundancies to the dollar-bin, even if they are worth up to $20. The majority of the store’s non-comic stock is discounted up to 50 percent. The price of comic and cartoon art hanging on the walls can be negotiated with Jahner, who has made a further offer to literacy institutions.

“If any schools or libraries are interested, I’d be very willing to donate books to them for free,” he said. However, a simple move down the street isn’t going to get in the way of some of the store’s dedicated customers. “I’ve been a consistent customer for decades, and CCC has been a supporter of our collection,” said Randall Scott, who works at the Michigan State University library and was browsing the store recently. “It’s the closest thing we’ve got to a good old-fashioned comic book store in the area. When they move, I’ll still be coming in, makes no difference to me the location.”
