Ongoing Comic Books Thread

[KTrain]

A couple months back on took the plunge into comic book "retail". I started with a small display case with 4 short boxes and the following month a booth opened up so I expanded my space at Inside Avenue Antiques (3419 8 St SE, Calgary, AB).

I filled it with back issues, a couple pieces of original art, some rare prints and a few statues. Lots of key issues, long runs of series like Uncanny X-Men, G.I. Joe (Marvel) and Transformers (Marvel) and $2 bins at the bottom.

Everything from Silver Age to Modern comics are there. If you're looking for anything specific, let me know and I'll see if I have it.

I'm currently having a 20% off everything sale that lasts the duration of Stampede (ends Sunday).

I'm building a collection of key silver age X-men that I plan on getting graded. Always on the lookout for comics.

Silver is always tougher to come by than 80/90s and more modern stuff.

If you have Instagram, give our account a follow (or Facebook) as we post the collections we pick up. I have a line on some Silver and Golden books right now.

KTrain, I swung by Avenue Antiques today to check out your shop and ended up buying some issues. What a great collection!

Thanks man. I really appreciate it!

I'm trying to put together a little spot I'd want to shop at. I'm happy people are finding good books for their collections.
