Founded in 1980, in Joplin, Missouri, Vintage Stock was originally called Book Barn and sold used books. As time progressed, we have diversified the product line to include other new and pre-owned products, including music, movies, video games, sports collectibles, trading cards, games, comics and toys.
In 2002, Vintage Stock was totally acquired by a group led by Rodney Spriggs, Steve Wilcox, and Ken Caviness. Since then, the number of stores has increased to 21. Vintage Stock also acquired the Dallas Area "Movie Trading Company" locations, which added 12 more stores to the company.
Vintage Stock has grown and changed with the times, while keeping a steady pulse on the past. Each Vintage Stock store can carry upward of 40,000 to 60,000 unique items, everything from Beatles memorabilia and Spiderman comic books to Mickey Mantle signed baseball and Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards to the newest DVD and music releases.
