Swan's Magazine Mart was a longtime fixture in Tacoma, Washington. It was originally located downtown in the 1930's, but moved to a small shop on 6th Avenue where it remained for many years. You could, potentially, find ANYTHING at Swan's. Incredibly rare treasures from the 1800's were side by side with the latest D&D gaming book. Before it closed in 2007, Swan's had accumulated several million items - our best estimate is somewhere between 5 and 10 million. Most of these were inaccessible, and the owner did not really know what he had or where they were. Add to that the fact that the shop was seldom open, and you know why we are calling the items "long-lost treasures!"

Swan's entire inventory was bought out in 2007, and J&J Collectibles was born. We are a small group of people who love books, magazines, comics and other such items, and we get as much pleasure in looking over the inventory as our customers do when they buy our items. We started out on eBay, but needed additional ways to showcase our items so we started this website.

Who are J&J Collectibles? As of August 2008, our staff consists of:

Joe Zunno - the Owner and General Manager. He makes frequent trips to the warehouse to look over inventory, and if you are looking for something you don't see listed on our sites you can send him an email to inquire.

Diane Zunno - Inventory and Shipping Manager. She will reply to most eBay inquiries, photograph items, pack and ship items, and keep track of a million inventory details.

May Farrington - General Assistant. She manages the websites, researches rare books, helps with oragnization, listing, and numerous other aspects of the business.

Hattie - Diane's Special Assistant. She helps with shipping, inventory control, listing, and a thousand other things.

Lisa and Terry - Listing Assistants. They help get items online so you can find them in our stores here and on eBay!
