Hey, Folks!
Well, my vacation nonsense is finally over so you can expect to be blessed with my presence more in the store. In fact, Brian wants the weekend off (and who can blame him after his stupid boss took the last two weekends off) so I will be here all day Saturday and Sunday. I’m not sure yet how long I will be here on Friday, but I’ll be spending some time here then as well. Oh, goody…back to a 7-day schedule…
As a result of me spending more time in the store, I will hopefully be shooting through sorting the Jersey Collection as well. There is a lot of material that I have been going through that is mostly run filler or dollar box stuff, but the amount of interesting keys that I have run into has also been fascinating. The Teen Titans and the Swamp Thing issues I recently brought in went even quicker than I expected and I will admit that I am often surprised how much books are going for these days that I remember as the quarter box material from my youth. I have been more or less keeping the books I post on Facebook at the $25 or more level, but I may start posting some other titles that are cheaper just because I feel like some of you may be looking for them and that they will disappear into he back issue boxes with none the wiser. Brian and I have been discussing creating some new headers out in the back issue boxes such as “DC Elseworlds” so that some of this material will get a little more of the spotlight. As I think I mentioned a week or two ago, the current system of processing books, then displaying them on the counter for a week or two, and then filing them in back issue boxes will be continued. I have heard your comments and know you appreciate getting a loser look at this material before it goes into the back issue boxes.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend and get a chance to enjoy this steamy weather! I will be here at the store if you want to stop by and say “hi”!
