YORK ? Signed artwork from the likes of Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. old baseball cards and Boyd's Bears are among the wide range of offerings at Seacoast Collectibles and Auctions, a new shop on Route1 near the York/Kittery line.
Steve Brochu opened the business at the beginning of December.
Fast Facts
What: Seacoast Collectibles
Where: 26 Route 1,York, ME
Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Thursday-Sunday; closed Tuesday and Wednesday

Store manager Liz McStay called the inventory of the shop "a hodgepodge of everything," with items ranging from 50 cents to $12,000.
Brochu labeled himself an "entrepreneur," and shared that he also owns Seacoast Roofing and Construction in York, which he has owned for 14 years.
He said he developed an interest in antiques because his grandfather grew up during the Great Depression, so never threw anything away.
"It didn't matter if it was a piece of aluminum foil," Brochu said. "He would keep everything."
When his grandparents died, everything was left in Brochu's hands and it inspired him to open the antique shop.
Seacoast Collectibles is sectioned into spaces that vendors can rent for a monthly fee ranging from $65 to $400, depending on the size of the space. In addition to the monthly rent, 10 percent of the money made off any item sold also goes to Seacoast Collectibles.
A vendor who is renting a space can bring in whatever he or she would like to sell, whether it be antiques or handmade crafts.
This makes for a wide variety of items. One of the sections rented out by a vendor recently featured handmade jewelry created with beads and antique buttons, while the next featured old NASCAR products.
Brochu's shop now has 20 vendors, but he says he has the capacity to hold at least 30 more and that he would love to have them.
He plans to continue expanding his business by running a flea market just outside of the building when summer finally arrives.
Brochu emphasized repeatedly that he was a firm believer in giving back to the local community.
He said that he would love to use the profits made from Seacoast Collectibles to open a rehab center. As a recovered alcoholic, Brochu said he appreciates the good a rehab center can do, adding, "somebody, somewhere has to step forward."
