Out With the Old Sale

Since it is the New Year, I decided that its time to move out some of my older stock.  Starting today through the end of the month, all older Back Issues are Buy One, Get One Free.  Since I started thinking about becoming Pittsburgh Comics, I have been using plain white labels with the price […]

Marvel Trades Sales – Not So Good

Looking over my top GN sales for 2010, I noticed something very interesting. Of the Top 50, 6 are Marvel.  And 4 of those are only in the Top 50 because of ties.  Most are in the 60 – 70 range.  And the 2 that are in the actual Top 50?  Kick Ass and the […]

2010 Best Sellers

I read Brian Hibbs posts at Comix Experience about 2010 and wanted to compare my numbers.  I really can’t do a fair comparison across all product lines, because I don’t track back issues individually and some card packs go under Cards and some go under Games.  But I will give you my Top 50 Comics […]

Quick Reviews of Some of This Week’s Books

Mrs. Pittsburgh Comics was wiped out and fell asleep after Winter Wipeout (Must See TV!), so I read all of this weeks books that I took home.  Here are some quick reviews: Walking Dead #80 – I really don’t think this book really needs to ever be reviewed.  There is rarely a stinker of an […]

It’s a Happy Day

So this is the first line on my invoice for next week: DAY EARLY DELIVERY COMPLIANCE FUND (NET) $4.00 Oh, happy day.  What does this mean?  It means that, starting next week, the books will be arriving on TUESDAYS! Now, don’t get too excited.  I will not be selling them on Tuesdays.  That is actually […]

DC and the $2.99 price point

I just want to make sure everyone knows that beginning this week, DC is dropping the price of all of their books to $2.99.  This doesn’t include specials, but does include all of their regular ongoing books.

Year End Thoughts

First off, thanks for making 2010 another successful year for me. For me, 2010 was a crazy year. Most of it is actually a blur.  These last 4 months certainly drowned out the first 8.  I do remember Free Comic Book Day being a hoot, but beyond that not so much. As you all know, […]

Closed New Year’s Day

I hope that this isn’t a surprise to anyone, but I will be closed on New Year’s Day. I have football and hockey to watch. I hope that you will do the same. Take time to get caught up on all of your reading, so that you can hit the new year hungry for more.
