About Us

🎮 Nerds Since Birth. No Apologies.

CTRL+REWIND is a family-owned shop run by lifelong nerds who never outgrew their obsessions — and honestly, we're not even a little sorry about it. Comics, video games, trading cards, retro memorabilia — this stuff isn't just inventory to us. It's our childhood, our weekends, our people. And we've got way too much of it.

The origin story is simple: we ran out of space. Our personal collections had officially staged a hostile takeover of the house, and something had to give. So instead of letting these pieces sit in boxes where no one could love them, we decided to do the responsible nerd thing — open a shop and share them with fellow collectors who actually get it.

📦 From Our Shelves to Yours

Most of what you'll find here was once part of our own personal collection. These aren't warehouse bulk lots or random finds — they're items we hunted down, held onto, and genuinely loved. Every cartridge, every issue, every sealed pack has a story. We're just passing them on to someone who'll appreciate them as much as we did.

Opening CTRL+REWIND was always the dream: a retro gaming and collectibles shop where 90s pop culture gets the respect it deserves, and where fellow nerds can geek out without judgment.

🃏 TCG Corner — Coming Soon 

We are actively working toward securing official TCG distribution, and we are hyped. Once distribution is locked in, we'll be able to offer sealed product at MSRP pricing — because we believe collectors shouldn't have to pay scalper prices just to crack packs. We'll update the site the moment new product starts arriving, so keep an eye out.

In the meantime, all of our current TCG products are 100% factory sealed. No reseals, no funny business — just clean, sealed product from our personal stash.

🕹️ Built for Collectors, By Collectors

We know the feeling of finally tracking down that one issue you've been hunting for, or finding the exact cartridge you played as a kid. That's the energy we're bringing to every order. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your retro journey, you belong here.

Thanks for supporting a small, family-owned shop. It genuinely means the world to us. Now go find something awesome. 🎮📚
