RE: Who Wants Some Comic Books?!?
fantastic idea to get someone new into a great hobby and maybe an investment opportunity. I got into comics years ago and stopped collecting as I have too many already and they have been put away in storage for now. Unfortunately I am not into the modern comics but the older war comics.
Ah I see. YeH most of these books that I’m including are ones I have a bunch of as we had to order a bunch to reach the plateau for certain variant covers. So for Venom #150 I had to order 2000 copies to obtain the necessary variants for a customer. I’m never going to sell through those so might as well basically give some away!!!
Whoah.
Yeah. He wanted the 1:2000 variant. Nuts.
Does price for that automatically hit the book value at the price based on how many copies it takes to get one? If so, holy hell what an awesome customer (actually if not he still sounds like a nerd who knows what he wants). Kick ass he has you to hit up, and you have the ability to get that many books.
Edit: Had a lcs giving away copies of those Venom #1's specifically, 1 per customer, they might have been put in a similar spot as you now that I think of it.
If a customer wants a book like that where it’s an insane amount we offer it to them at cost and we keep the leftover variants. That’s the deal we offer. So he got one of each variant and a few cases of the Regular Venoms...we got to keep some cases of regulars and remainder of the variants.
Like the old Commando comics? I remember my Dad reading those when I was a kid. I reckon they'd be an interesting and nostalgic read. I almost wish I'd claimed them when I was younger and Dad was getting rid of them.
Yes. I have Commando, Battle and War picture library. Have around 7000 of them now.
That's an impressive collection. Pretty sure Dad read a few other types as well, it's just Commando was the series I remembered.
