  1. I get mylars from EGerber. If you have a sellers permit they discount an additional 20% off the price. It’s a great deal. I have a brick and mortar shop and any books worth more than $20 goes into a mylar bag with fullback board. I think the fullback boards are just as important as the bags. They are heavier gauge and keep books from bending. With regular poly bags you need to use multiple boards to keep the books safe. From a marketing perspective mylars are essential. They make the books look great which in turn leads to better sales
  2. I rarely do bids on eBay. Usually sellers get reamed on prices. I wouldn’t mind if a $100 book sold for say $75 but quite often you see books selling for 1/2 or less of value. I put my books on bin and usually listen to reasonable offers. As a buyer, of course, buying on auction is usually best. Also, there are deals on bin as well. Just hard to find sometimes.
  3. I took those pictures late in the day. Earlier was busier. People were buying. We did great. Table cost around $175. I grossed over $2k. I figure a good day.
  4. Was a decent show considering the turnout wasn’t too great. I only brought slabs this time and sold quite a few. There was some good deals in the room. Most people definitely wanted to buy. Probably from being cooped up for the past few months.
  5. It’s actually just called valley comic con now. Since it’s moved up to Santa Clarita. We’ll be there. Bringing a few boxes of cgc books, lots of raw keys and dollar books. Our shop is only a few minutes from the show and we’ll be open 11am to 5pm if you want to stop by before or after the show.
  6. If these are in near mint condition I’ll take one each of the venom #25 variants, thanks.
  7. We opened the shop yesterday. Back to normal hours. We’ve been buying tons of books with lots of new keys and graded books. If you’re in the area stop by!
