What to do?
Hey, Hamilton will be a good spot to be in to enjoy the total eclipse of the sun today, lets hope the clouds stay away, at least long enough for me to test out these funny looking cardboard glasses. If…
Fool’s Gold

Auction Highlights March 24, 2024
I didn’t make it to the warehouse this weekend so I’ll have to attack the “heading to eBay auction” in the next day or so to get the lots ready for Jay to do his magic with. I didn’t want…

This is Neil the Horse
It dawned on me after re-reading last month’s column, “An Introduction to Neil the Horse,” that I jumped right into things and didn’t really introduce the three main characters at all. Who is Neil the Horse? I recently stumbled upon…
Extra Extra
I always forget to take pics of the warehouse progress, next week I promise myself I won’t forget and I’ll show you just how far along that big toy room has come. If I share these progress reports with you…
Toys in the Attic
We’ve started listing Original Art (OA) on the weekly icecollectibles eBay auctions. It’s tough breaking in a new collecting bucket, you need time to establish enough followers of the OA portion of the auction but you also need pieces to…

Local Pick Up
I’ve already fallen behind on my warehouse updates! The plan is to still be out by October 31st of this year so I’ve already eaten up two months of this year and have only eight months to get the job…
High Floors
Happy Family Day fellow Canucks and happy Presidents Day to the US of A. It’s nice having a long weekend. Long ago I decided the Monday off is better than the Friday off. On a regular Friday we’re all feeling…

Super Duper
I hope everyone enjoyed the Superbowl. Nice OT tension! I like these cultural things that half the country watches, makes for good chit chat and jibber jabber the next day at the office. The actual game is always the third…
What’s It Worth?
This week, Chris and Walt discuss what it’s like trying to sell comics and who to talk to. Have you ever sold anything? Tell us about it in the comments.

Talkin’ Shop
This week Chris and Walt talk shop about, well… talkin’ shop. How often do you talk about comics with your fellow collectors? Do you have a club you belong to? Let us know in the comments!
It Never Gets Old
What the heck is going on, seems like everyone has the flu! I think I’ll have a full crew at work this week for the first time since before Christmas! The problem with having a full crew is there’s no…
Trash Vortex
We’ve had three auction closings to date in this young 2024 and though it’s early I’m buoyed by what I see as an overall good start. Our icecollectibles eBay auctions deliver a good mix (always trying to make it better)…
