The Beginning
Since 1993 Reel Art Collectibles has provided pop culture collectors around the world with memorabilia from various eras, genres & prices. From our humble beginnings in the owner's basement to now with our massive 1,800 sq. foot store Reel Art has continued to grow & expand its stock to provide collectors with quality products at a fair price.
The warehouse
A common theme of Reel Art over the years has been its warehouse full of merchandise. Before our storefront the business was run out of different sized warehouses with hundreds of collections passing through over the years (currently our back stock is housed in an almost 5,000 square foot warehouse!) As the stock grew so did the need to sell it thus our legendary “Warehouse Sale” was born. Multiple times a year since the early 2000s we have opened our entire back stock to the public to buy at discounted prices. A must attend for any collector!
the conventions
Since the early 90’s Reel Art has traveled around the country attending thousands of comic-cons & pop-culture conventions. We attend some of the biggest conventions of the year including San Diego Comic-Con, New York City Comic-Con, Dragon Con Atlanta and Star Wars Celebration! We also attend plenty of smaller shows throughout the chicagoland area. check out our “convention schedule” page to see where you can find us!
the owner
Cory Glaberson began collecting at an early age with a great passion for finding unique memorabilia. Twenty years ago he started Reel Art Collectibles, basing the name off of the famous production company that rereleased Universal monster films in the 50’s. He began doing local comic-con’s & conventions and eventually started traveling across North America and Europe woking all of the major comic-cons & buying/selling vintage collectibles. In 2011 he purchased the building that has since housed the Reel Art Collectibles store & warehouse. Most of the time he’s on the road doing conventions but you can usually catch him on Wednesdays in the store. He enjoys hearing about peoples collectibles stories & why they enjoy to collect. Stop by and tell him sometime about your collection!
