So the Professor has been handing the Blog chores lately, and with his knowledge, he’s quite adept at being able. Thank you Phil, but it’s time for Alan to get off his derriere. (That’s French for lazy ass) I wanted to let you all know that throughout 2008…is that really a year?, AABC will be bulking out some key stock to make room in the overstuffed tuna can. Here’s the deal. You can purchase 4000 mostly VF to NM comic books from the vast AABC warehouse for only $2500.00! And this isn’t just a bunch of bulk stuff you guys. … Continue reading →

Hello everyone! Alan the salesman here. I really dislike the “pitchman” approach sometimes, but when some very cool items filter into the store, I just gotta pitch ’em to ya’! Yet again, we just acquired a nice collection of some very nice runs of late Silver and Bronze age comics. This recent batch includes: IRON MAN #1-150, CAPTAIN AMERICA #100-200, and X-MEN #94-150, including GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1 from 1975. The first issues of each run will be included in our next auction, with such choice items as IRON MAN & SUB-MARINER #1, IRON MAN #55, MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #28, and a … Continue reading →

Hey Everybody!  So Alan hasn’t had time to post a blog lately because he has been so busy pricing all these new collections so I thought I’d let you know about this year’s Halloween Specials.   We need to move some inventory so come on by the shop tomorrow, Wed.

Hello everyone! I’ve been diligently working (if you call this “work”) on a 10,000 piece comic book collection the last couple of weeks. It’s almost like a level of MASH triage in terms of managing this monster batch of books. You sort (and sorting was accomplished mostly by very able staffer Dan), alphabetize, pull out any Silver, Bronze…and Gold, if you’re lucky, and anything deemed collectible, or “hot” in the market, and just overall make the collection presentable for collectors! And presentable it’s become. We’ve priced hundreds of Bronze (1970’s) books at $2.00 and $5.00 each…a real savings on 1970’s … Continue reading →

Hello everyone! As I informed you a couple of weeks ago, AABC acquired at collection of approximately 10,000 comic books from one of our long-time customers. The selection is chock full of 1970’s Bronze Age books, and the rest of the collection pretty much covers the last 15 years of the hobby. We’re almost done sorting, and then we’ll have some mighty cool sets of books for you to peruse through! Just as a quick point of interest, there are many titles that have been published over the last decade that have extremely low print runs. From DC’s Vertigo line … Continue reading →
