How does 2009 look?
The new year is upon us, and we're ready! After an amazing couple of years in comics, 2009 looks to be no less interesting. Even though everyone
is on pins and needles regarding the economy, we feel that the collectibles market is holding steady--if not actually doing better. Collectibles are
historically a less volatile and certainly more fun method of investing, which is looking quite attractive to investors right now. Hollywood shows no
signs of slowing down their output of comic book movies, with Avengers, Captain America and Spidey flicks on the horizon. And let's not forget DC and all the
other comic companies jumping on that bandwagon. These movies have created a whole new generation of fans who flock to our hobby in search of their
favorite titles.
 What's new on the site
We've got several new features on the site, including a "List By" function that allows customers to view our books for sale in many different ways. The
"Advanced Search" function is powerful, allowing one to sort through our inventory in any manner they see fit. Whether it's listing all of our pedigrees,
new listings, or even just 9.8 copies for sale, the advanced search does it all.
The flow of new comics for sale has increased ten-fold the past month, and will continue to do so as we sort through our massive inventory of 200,000 comics.
It will be a year-long endeavor, but new items will be posting almost daily, so make sure to check back often. Everything from Batman #1 and Silver Age in CGC 9.8
to cheaper raw comics and modern age will be uploaded in the coming months, certinaly something for everyone.
The show season for 2009
We've also got our show schedule for 2009 set, so check to see if we'll be in your neck of the woods sometime soon.
We always bring our best books to the shows, and we love to meet our customers old and new. We're also aggressively buying comic books, particularly
high grade material. Doesn't matter if it's CGC grades or raw, Golden Age or even '80s books. You can count on our honest opinion about your comics,
good or bad. If we're interested, we'll certainly make you one of the strongest offers you'll find in the hobby.
Good luck this year, and happy hunting!
