Burnaby Comic Swap Meetup on Sat. April 18, 2020 at the Safeway Community Room on the 3rd floor next to Burquitlam Skytrain Station at Clarke Road (essentially North Rd) at Como Lake Road on the Coquitlam side of the border. This Meetup is btwn 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. patterned after the Seattle Comics and Craft event which is targeted towards more serious comic book, mag and art collectors. A variety of vintage comic book dealers and some brand new vendors will be setting up for a nominal fee. As the vendor tables are small, each dealer is allowed to bring a maximum of 3 short boxes or about 2 longs of comics and paper collectibles to assure a nice mix. Please pmail me if you wish to reserve a small table, as space is limited. Load in/out via 2 freight elevators to the mezzanine level of Safeway. Collectors can park for free for 2 hours at Safeway covered ground level. Recommend that vendors park next door at Burquitlam Plaza strip mall (uncovered) for free up to 4 hours. Sorry, no Funko Pop. Guest speaker of honor will be @427Impaler , the chief conservator of Excelsior Conservation Inc. The Professor will share his vast wisdom about comic conservation vs. restoration. He is scheduled to speak and offer a before and after comic slide show btwn 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. including a Q & A period. Hungry? There is a Safeway Cafe and Starbuck's at ground level. Please do not bring any outside food or drink (e.g. McDonald's that is across the street), as it will not be allowed on the 3rd floor per Safeway's rules of use. More information and a map is on my Facebook and Instagram under "Burnaby Comic Swap" Meetup. To keep track of the head count, please register at Eventbrite.ca FREE ticket Vendors so far who have expressed early interest in setting up include: Mediagraphics, Comic Adventures, aardvark88, @Fan Boy, Adrian C, Mister Ed, the Architect, Rick from Abby and perhaps Errol from Abby. What else can you squeeze out of aardvark88 for FREE? May be able to access free Safeway wi-fi from the 3rd floor mezzanine area. Hope I don't lose my shirt trying to build stronger relationships for the Vancouver suburban comic book community. -

I love comic books. Ever since I was a kid, the lure of the hand-drawn art, as well as the adventure to the local comic store alone, was the highlight of a long school week. As I got older, the comics I loved became art and soon I was collecting graded comics to keep forever in perfect (or close to perfect) condition. The one problem I found was always displaying them. No matter what the product it always seemed flimsy or not “clean” looking enough. I wanted something that could support my habit and also provide a minimal way to showcase them without bulky and expensive covers and matte frames. So, I began 3D printing, designing, and modeling. After months of trial, I finally had what I wanted. Simple to install bracket that minimally holds the graded comic without sacrificing that perfect cover art. BEHOLD! The Mountiee! Mountiees are resin printed brackets that hold just the lip of the graded comic without hiding anything else from that beautiful case. The design also lets you slip your comic in and out at your leisure so your display can change as your mood does. Simply mount the bracket with the included screws and wall anchors and BOOM…its on the wall. We designed the bracket with collectors in mind meaning we used high-quality UV resin to make the bracket stable without worrying about weight or grip. They are light weight but can hold any graded comic from standard case to newsprint. Mountiees come in 3 colors: Dark Night (Black), Classic Gray, and Semi-Transparent. No interested in using screws? Renting? Head to your local home improvement store and grab double-sided removable mounting tape. It's that easy! We want you to start displaying your “preciousnesses” as well, so head on over and grab your brackets today!

I am selling part of my huge comic book collection. I have about 1200 comics or slightly less. In this auction, you will be buying 1 SHORT BOX of comic books. This is a mix of mostly Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics, Valiant Comics and Dark Horse Comics and more. These comics could be from the late 1980s to the 2000's. The conditions range from Near Mint to Very Good. There may be books that are signed by either the artists or the writers or both. Some boxes will contain straight runs of a series. Variants may be included. Multiples of issues may also be included. This collection would be perfect for those starting up a business or to grow their comic collection. I have 8 short boxes in this auction. Each box will be with random books from many comic publishers. So each box may have up to 150 comics or slightly less. AGAIN, EACH BOX WILL BE FILLED WITH RANDOM BOOKS. Some of the titles are from Spider-Man, Batman, Fantastic Four, Sin City, Aliens, Predator, Spawn, Witchblade, Star Wars, Robin, X-O Manowar, Punisher, X-Men, Wolverine, Danger Girl, Gen 13, Moon Knight, and many more. Most comics are bagged with board, about 90% of them. Then there are comics that are no bagged with board but are in great condition too. I accept Paypal only! You are buying everything as is. I DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. My first auction sold out in 5 days. I'm raising money for my move to Florida sometime early next year. https://www.ebay.com/itm/132400287408?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 -

Fellow collectors I'm looking for feedback on a mobile app that took me almost two years to create. It has over 7,000 key issues (1st appearances, iconic covers etc.) with price guidance. You can catalog your comics and build a wish list. Its all free. No ads. I don't profit. I built a database for myself and a friend who had a huge collection in his warehouse but didn't know the valuable from the non-valuable comics. You can download on apple or android through keycollectorcomics.com or go directly to the mobile links I provided below. Enjoy! - Nick iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/key-collector/id1189623811?ls=1&mt=8 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keycollectorcomics.keycollector

Anyone in Montreal this Sunday? If so, you might want to drop by FantastiConMTL. It's a smaller event, but it's been growing and it's really for comic book fans--plenty of local comic book creator guests and dealers. There will also be a cosplay event. Check it out! They're also on Facebook. I'll be there and my books will be up to 75% off; I'm clearing out most of my inventory. Here's a link to my sales info.

Hello all! I'm going to be downsizing my operations to focus on my day job while maintaining an online presence selling graded books and keys. I LOVE doing shows, but my real life situation doesn't allow me to do as many as I would like, nor allow me to travel for them, so it's time to pull the plug as they say. Therefore, it's time to clear out a big chunk of my inventory, so I'm going to post this here first and foremost, and see if there any takers for the entire lot. I will officially close it by the end of the week-end in order to 'legally' advertise it elsewhere. On to the fun stuff! Asking price: $15,000.00 CAD (Estimated real retail market value $60K+ CAD) Shipping/delivery terms: Pick-up only. Location: Montreal, QC, Canada Grade: Grades vary of course, but the 1985-present stuff is on average 9.4. The Silver Age stuff is mostly low grade (5.0 and lower), while the Bronze Age stuff is pretty solid for the most part--6.0 and higher for the most part. The books have been stored in a clean and dry storage facility, so no need to worry about this being a water-damaged, etc. lot. Miscellaneous: All but 7-8 boxes have been processed and are ready to go if you want to start a business. In other words, you don't have to spend 700 hours prepping these books. Bags and boards are relatively new (<5 years) for the processed stuff. Are there any keys?: There are no big keys in here. I'm keeping the pricier books and graded books, but that doesn't mean this has been cherry-picked. All of the under $40.00 books are still there. There are TONS of lower-end "wall books." About 50* longboxes broken down as follows: 24 longboxes of my main Bronze to Current inventory. Consists of books priced between $4.00-35.00 each. I’d say the average sticker price is north of $7.00 (and I don’t jack sticker prices up). Long runs of solid-selling titles like ASM, BATMAN, WALKING DEAD, HARLEY QUINN, DEADPOOL, X-MEN, etc… These boxes are my bread and butter. I try to stock only quality books in these. Lots of classic covers and minor keys, as well as variants. 6 longboxes of sets. Lots of pricier sets such as CIVIL WAR, HUSH, OLD MAN LOGAN, MARVEL SUPERHEROES SECRET WARS, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, NOVA vol. 1, SHE-HULK vol. 1, INFINITY GAUNTLET, THE LONG HALLOWEEN, etc… 4 long boxes of “cheapies.” These are mostly books that most vendors prices at $3.00-5.00 each, but I normally blow out. Mostly modern stuff with some low grade Silver Age (SA), Bronze Age (BA) and lower end Copper (CA) books. 4-5 longboxes of “discount” oldies. This is mostly lower end SA and BA books, many of which were purchased from a large store purchase and I didn’t want to reprocess it all so I simply put them in 50% off bins since their sticker prices were rather high. 2 long boxes of SA books. A nice mix of stuff priced under $40.00 each. 1 longbox or so of magazines and older Marvel Graphic novels. Several $40.00+ items. 6 or so long boxes of TPBs and HCs, including a few pricey editions. 1 magazine box of fanzines, art folios, Fireside Books, and other misc. type items. 4-5 boxes of overstock. Most of it consist of Spidey, X-Men and Bat titles. The photos below show most of the boxes. Thanks for looking and don't hesitate to ask questions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The exact number of boxes per category might be off. I have to triple check. -
