Comic News

Okay, I've been holding off on writing on here for a couple of days, because I was waiting for some things to settle in and get decided on before we could go public about them. We finally have a date set and a location selected for the November comic book auction. The higher value books have been graded by the CGC, and we are in the process of getting them updated on our website. Soon we'll have the catalog done, and then we can really hit the media.

So, without further ado, the big, expensive comic book auction, will be taking place on November 1st and 2nd, at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles MO. There will be a 1 day preview on October 31st. It is open to the public, and there will be a costume contest on the 31st - the person in the best costume will receive a voucher for $100.00 off at the comic auction.

With the location selected, and the date set, now all we have to do is fully prepare for the auction. This means that I'm going to be very busy designing advertising, calling potential bidders, leaving messages on comic collector's internet forums and message boards, meeting with potential bidders at places like Archon, and generally running around like a nerdy chicken with its head cut off. Fun times. Fun times...
