Howdy Everybody! We’ve been doing some early spring cleaning at the shop, and, guess what? I’ve come across another 4,000 or so comic books stashed away in a corner, just waiting to be “bulked” out! And bulked out they will be. The boxes are now in one of the white bins on the west side of the store, with stickers that read, “10 for Ten Bucks!” Yep, they’re a buck a piece if you buy ten comics from the selection. They’re cover price if you don’t buy ten books, but how could you not find 10 copies out of the … Continue reading →

Hey Gang, I just wanted to thank everyone who’s shown interest in the stupendous collection of Golden Age we acquired last month. It’s been a wonderful rush to grade and price the books, and to be honest, a big plus monetarily for the store in a month that’s normally very slow sales wise. We have some killer auctions coming up in the next few weeks. Here’s a quick breakdown on some of the upcoming selections: DETECTIVE COMICS #164, MORE FUN COMICS #96, BATMAN #26, GREEN HORNET #14, and WORLD’S FINEST #14! And oh man, did I forget to tell you … Continue reading →
