500 more silver-bronze additions... lots of variety!
Aug. 17, 2010
They're baa-ack! We've separated out our discount "oldies" (and added or reduced hundreds of more issues), so that we now have nearly 3,000 golden, silver and bronze-age comics marked down to only $3 to $5 each! And this includes over 600 issues from the 1940s and 1950s! And we'll be adding more all of the time as we dig deep into our warehouses and begin clearing some inventory. So check out our Collectibles Room in our Main Store, where we also have everyday bargains (usually 20% or more) on thousands of other collectible comics, books, pulps, magazines, and posters, from the early 1900s through the 1970s!

July, 2010
We haven't had a chance to post every time we add new collectibles, as we've had a flurry of collections coming through in recent weeks. We are also putting out merchandise we think might be of interest to travelers coming through for Columbus' Pulp-Fest (July 29- Aug.1), and have added (or are adding) new groupings of collectible paperbacks from the 1940s-1960s, an assortment of pulps, miscellaneous older comics, and other items.
Rather than waiting until we have a large group all at once, we will be adding items (almost daily) as we process them from recent collections acquired, including a new purchase of 6,000 comics 1980s to modern, with some going to our main store's modern back-issue collection (now at 36,000 issues) or across the street at our Discount Warehouse (30,000 issues for only $1 ea.).
We have had some collections of used paperbacks added to the Warehouse, as well as bargain-priced selections of graphic novels and assorted hardbacks. Another collection of early items (going back to 1890s - 1940s) including early comics tie-in merchandise, big-little books, some pulps, etc., will be added as we get to them, as well as assorted collectible comics from the golden through bronze ages.
(A few highlights as of 7/17 include: Amazing Spider-Man #14 (1st Green Goblin; 4.0), Action Comics #71 (6.0) , Incredible Hulk #102 (6.0), Incredible Hulk #s 180 & 182 (3.0), Adventures of the Fly #1 (2.0), and many others.

Added -- several dozen mixed, mostly lower and mid-grade, golden-age and early silver-age books. This lot includes a few early Fawcett heroes, early Archie issues, '50s & '60s DCs, some Atlas horror issues, and others.
June 12, 2010
(1) Just in -- about 400 high-grade late-bronze issues (mid-'70s to mid-'80s)... mostly better issues (most regular issues from this era will be found in our Discount Warehouse). Lots of 8.0 grades and above.
(2) We've just put in an additional row of bookshelves at the Discount Warehouse, and through the next few days will be adding hundreds of books (hardback and paperback) that there wasn't room to put out previously.
June 8, 2010
We just acquired a major new collection... lots of top key issues and other high-grade silver and bronze. Several items have already sold even before we could list them, so this is a serious in-demand grouping. Some of the top items can be viewed on our "Collectibles Highlights" page.
