About The Back Shelf

The story behind the shelf, and how buying here actually works.

← Back to the shelf

Hi, I'm Lee

I'm a lifelong collector who's been helping people track down great pieces for their collections since 2021. I'm based in China, which puts me close to some sourcing opportunities most collectors never get a shot at — including a few genuine grails along the way.

New pieces get added to the shelf often, so it's worth checking back regularly — or use the 🔔 Get Alerts button on the shop page to have new arrivals emailed straight to you based on the franchises or manufacturers you care about.

Curious what's already sold? Take a look at the Sold Archive, or see what buyers and fellow collectors have said in Reviews.

Looking for something specific — a particular prototype, a vintage piece, or a collectable you've been chasing for a while? Reach out and let me know what it is. I can't promise anything, but between sourcing contacts and keeping an eye out, I may well be able to track it down for you.
