I’m beyond excited to share with you the treasured inventory from Neat Stuff Enterprises—the beloved Philadelphia collectibles shop that felt like stepping into a time machine of pure childhood wonder.
For more than 35 years, my late wife, Giovanna Del Buono, filled those shelves with magic. Walking through the door meant the gleam of mint-in-box action figures under glass, and Giovanna’s infectious laugh as she pulled “just one more gem” from the back room. Whether you were hunting down that elusive 1960s Beatles poster, a Holy Grail G.I. Joe, or an autographed photo you’d given up on ever finding, Giovanna remembered every piece and every story behind it. She won “Best of Philly” for 60s memorabilia, graced the pages of newspapers, and even brought her passion to Don Pollec’s World on local TV—but to thousands of us, she was simply the heart of the store.
The bell above the door doesn’t ring anymore, but every item I’m listing here still carries the glow of those Saturday afternoons spent digging through boxes, swapping stories with fellow collectors, and walking out with something that made your eight-year-old self cheer all over again.
These aren’t just toys and posters—they’re little time capsules of joy, curated with love by someone who truly understood why we collect: to hold onto the moments that made us feel most alive.
If something here makes your heart skip the way it did when you first spotted it on Giovanna’s shelf so many years ago, then her legacy lives on.
It’s an honor to pass these pieces of happiness along to you.
