Popular Post kimik Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I just wanted to post a shout out and congratulations to the Saddle City Comics Team on the opening of their new location in Calgary this weekend. The store looks fantastic, and they are finally puling out some of the nice stuff they have accumulated the past couple of years.

Dreamsleep Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Definitely the place to be if you are a true collector or speculator. Back issues you just don’t see anywhere. A true comic store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he spent a lot of money on new cabinets under his bin stock that hold his restock comics and toys. My LCS's recycled 30 year old glass display cases, and have 25 year old bashed in long boxes. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SaddleCityComics Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks Kimic, Saddle City is finally all setup in the new location. We are located iat #7 6143 4th ST SE in Calgary, Alberta Canada. We have lots of new and back issue comics as well as CGC slabs The comic vault is fully stocked with some amazing keys that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else. We are a CGC Authorized Store and facilitators, For our grand opening we had the artist of Nottingham Shane Connery Volk in for our grand opening and we were able to provide CGC SS to our clients. We have some grand plans for our clients coming up, follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/saddlecitycomics/) to keep up to date on what we have upcoming.

universal soldier Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Too bad, I'll be in Calgary early August and was going to squeeze in a day of local shops. Any other stores recomended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other stores recomended? My LCS experience has been pretty dismal in both Calgary and Edmonton outside of picking up new floppies or collected editions. You would be better meeting up with local boardies. Have fun in Cowtown! universal soldier, Mmehdy, aardvark88 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universal soldier Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Will be in Calgary and Lethbridge from the 4th to the 11th. Any local boardies in the area or any recomendations? Looks like there is a Showcase comics in Lethbridge that could be decent. I probably won't have a ton of time in Calgary as we'll be there to start but spending Saturday in Banff. Will be in Lethbridge most of the week with 2 days at Glacier National Park and probably a round of golf on the off day. Anyone local wants to meet, beers are on me. piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary would be a better bet for comics if you can spare the time. I am not sure which stores have decent Bronze or older back stock now, but if you are looking for Copper and Modern then Another Dimension, either of the Phoenix locations, and Another Dimension are good places to start. WRT Lethbridge, check out some of the antique and used book stores as well. They get in collections from time to time that are worth cherry picking from what I have been told by other collectors/dealers. greggy and universal soldier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
