FWIW, Phantom of the Attic is four separate operations independently owned by four separate people.
The original owner retired in the early 90s and sold the Oakland, Monroeville and Greentree locations to different people.
Around 2000, the Oakland store separated into separate comic and games operations, and in 2020, the owner of the comics store sold the gaming store to the longtime store managers.

Yep I’m well aware, all of them are very nice people in my experience. Been going since I was a little kid. Brock at the gaming store is a buddy of mine, I used to sell him lunch meat haha

Tru dat. I’ve been going to Phantom since the third week they were open, before Jeff was even an employee. When I cut back on my visits and pulls - moving away from Oakland, mostly - Jeff and Wayne would always put aside things they knew I’d want, no charge. Somewhere I still have a few of their bucks, with Steve Ditko on them.

Is the Greentree one still there in the mall? Used to go there with my dad as a child.

Sadly Parkway Center Mall has been leveled, only Giant Eagle remains.
That Phantom location moved into Noble Manor, where the Italian Bread place used to be. Located in the same strip as The Ugly Dog, Subway, Phong May House, etc.

I have fond nostalgic memories of that mall, especially CompUSA.
