Looking for a vinyl album from the ’50s/’60s, you just might find it in one of their “sheds,” that’s all about music.  There’s also autographed sports and music memorabilia, rare Americana, and astounding authenticated signatures from presidents, vintage clocks, and so much more.

The Antique Village is like a museum, and you could spend hours perusing all they have.

Mitch Baker has spent most of his life in the collectible business, and for him, it is more a passion than anything else.  You will hear him elaborate on that passion on the inaugural edition of COLLECTORS CORNER, which can be heard on Beach Radio this and every Saturday from 9-10 am.

Beach Radio can be heard on 96.7 FM in Monmouth County and 104.1 FM in Ocean County, along with 1310 AM and 1160 AM—and anywhere on the go with the Beach Radio app.

Co-hosted by yours truly, the debut show will examine how Mitch started collecting at just 8 years old and now has so much “stuff” that he can’t even put a price on most of it.  You really have to see Antique Village to comprehend the collection Mitch has, and by listening this Saturday, you will get a better idea of how it has become a popular destination for those seeking a specific item, as well as for those who want to start their own collection.

The Antique Village is just two miles south of Route 72 on Route 9 and open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am - 4 pm.  Visit Antique Village West Creek here.
