Featured Dealers
The Curators Behind the Cases
Every dealer at Elsie Bell's Vault is hand-selected for depth of knowledge and quality of inventory. These aren't casual sellers — they're specialists.
Booth 4A
Margaret Hollis
Vintage Comics & Pulps
"Margaret has spent 30 years sourcing golden and silver age comics from estate sales across the Southeast. If it had a cover price under a dime, she's probably held it."
Booth 7B
Ray Tatum
Sports Cards & Memorabilia
"A former minor-league scout with an eye for provenance. Ray's inventory spans pre-war tobacco cards to modern rookies — all graded, all documented."
Seasonal Promotion
