Grading
We use the basic grading scale, also known as letter grades, with Near Mint being as close to perfect as possible and Poor being in terrible condition. If the item is new, we will say New in the product description. We thoroughly check every item and grade the item to the best of our ability. In the case of DVD’s, VHS, CD’s, etc, we check to see if the item is playable and let you know in the product descriptions about it’s condition, i.e. Plays Fine, Tracking Issues, etc.

About Us
Owl Curiosity Shoppe
We are a vintage and new collections store based in Texas. Our products are curated with uniqueness, originality, and rarity in mind. We have many hand-made items, such as paintings, ceramics, and various curios, as well as commercial items, such as DVD’s, comics, and toys.
The Team
Bob Smeets, the store manager, is also a comic book creator, who has a Graphic Novel called Weirdsdale published with Caliber Comics. His newest book, called Owl, will be available in a couple months. Bob loves art of all kind, philosophy, Native American culture, and Christianity. You will often find him lost in deep thought.
Mike Smeets, the back-up store manager, is a salesman by day and writer, photographer, and Photoshop enthusiast by night. Mike is an avid bird watcher and could probably tell you what type of bird that is singing in your tree just by the song it sings or the markings on it’s wings.
