Back To The Past Collectibles

Hi Caitlyn, this would fall more under the category of antiques rather than collectibles, I would suggest an antiques dealer in the area! Thanks for the question!

Honestly, this is about collectibles and the stock changes. I would talk to one of the guys at the store and let him know what are looking for. They are always buying so if they know you want something, you may hear about it when one comes in.

They have a couple but they can point you in the right direction...

Hi Lois, we'd be happy to discuss what you've got and see what we can do for you. Give us a call at 313.533.3130 and ask for Tracey to get started! Thanks.

Hi Scott! We do handle sports memorabilia! The best way to reach us would be through our email, or our direct phone number which can both be found on our website gobacktothepast.com. Thanks for the question!

Hi Shelby! We do carry Elvis items as they surface in old collections. Right now we have some art, posters and vinyl records for Elvis in the showroom and coming up through our live auctions, but our stock is constantly rotating as new collections come in, so stay tuned to our social media feeds and newsletter for updates.

Hi, yes we do! Please contact us at the store at 313.533.3130 and we can discuss how best to help you.

Hi Linda, it all depends on what years are represented and the condition of the collection, but it is definitely worth a chat. Give us a call at 313-533-3130 and we can discuss!

Hi Janet, we are not looking for Raikes Bears, but thank you for checking us!

Hi Craig, we occasionally carry vintage board games as we purchase collections and estates, but can't help you with either of those items at the moment! In general, we don't carry a regular gaming section at the store. Thanks for asking!

Try The Garage Sale Store in Garden City on Ford Rd.!

They have a little bit of everything. Sure you could find something you like.

Do you still have them or find a buyer?

Hi Pamela, we don't handle these types of dolls. I would suggest contacting Town Peddler Antiques Mall a few doors up from us on Plymouth Road and seeing if they have dealers that deal with them. Thanks for trying us!

Hi Chas, we occasionally have vintage MLP items in stock as we find them in collections we bring in. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have anything on hand, but you could try Comix Oasis in Allen Park! Thanks for checking with us.

Hi, we are not a musical instrument store, so can't help ya with that one!

Hi, we don't really handle regular books like you have there. We would suggest checking with John King in Ferndale or Detroit! But thank you for checking with us.

Hi Kiel - we don't handle a lot of sports stuff in the showroom. When we get collections of that sort, we generally run them through our live auctions ( in person or via Proxibid.com/backtothepast ). We do have old wax packs of non-sports cards in the store. Thanks for checking us!

Hi Lisa, thanks for checking with us but we would not be looking for these items at the moment.

Hi Chuck! Yes we will take a look at MTG cards. Give us a call at 313.533.3130 to set up a time to appraise your collection!

Yes we would!

Thanks so much!

Hi Brian, we don't really handle old marbles. I would suggest either Town Peddler Antiques or Yesterday's Antiques, both just a few doors down in either direction from us on Plymouth Road. But thanks for checking us!

Yes to both questions...dont thonk beanies are worth much any moe

Yes figures plus magazines

We would pass on these, but thanks for checking with us!

Hi, yes we do! Give us a call at 313-533-3130 to make sure there is a buyer standing by, but we can do this just about any day of the week. Thanks!

eBay Craigslist

Hi Marjorie, we do buy baseball cards but we are mainly looking for vintage ones previous to the 1970s. Feel free to stop in and we will take a look! Thanks.

Hi Betty, if you're nearby the store you can bring these by for appraisal just about anytime. Give us a call at 313-533-3130 just to make sure there's a buyer present before you head over, but we do this 7 days a week. Thanks!

Hi there! Unfortunately we do not carry CCGs like Magic the Gathering, so we would have to pass on this. We would recommend RIW or Pandemonium if you're in the Livonia/Westland area or if you're a little farther south try Comix Oasis in Allen Park.

Hi Kelly, we do buy vintage Barbies, but we're mainly after pre-1980s era. After some point in the 1990s, the production on Barbies went through the roof and there aren't many of the mass produced collectors editions that we look for. Only exception being if they have some other license involved, like the I Love Lucy, King Kong, Star Trek Barbies - things of that sort. Thanks for checking in with us!

No they don't

Yes. Best advice... go visit the store you'll love it.

They've been building up their record collection so I'm sure they'll be happy to take a look

Hi Patrick, we do carry G1 Transformers when we get them in collections we pick up! At the moment, not much in stock but watch our email or social media updates for announcements about new collections and auction catalogs. We update every week.

Never saw sports cards up there

Yes call ahead first

No They deal in sci fi fantasy super heroes and the like.......

No, it's more pop culture and comic.

Thank A lot I will

You can take them there to sell

They specialize in more superhero items....they may have lunch boxes
