Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
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…
This week, Chris and Walt have the creator of Captain Canuck, Mr. Richard Comely on the show. Richard is gearing up for the 50th anniversary of Canada’s Captain next year. Let us know what you think of the show!
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…
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…
When I was visiting New Brunswick in December, I was fortunate to stumble across the first three issues of Neil the Horse Comics and Stories at a collectibles store that I often drop into when I am in Saint John.…
This week Walt and Chris invite Skekky to produce their annual Valentine’s Day poem. Do you have any Valentine’s Day loves? Do you have a poem for us? Let us know!
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…
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.
We’ve had a few days in a row of sunshine here in southern Ontario and it’s joyous, we went through what seemed like 6 weeks straight of grey clouds, it was enough to drive a man to consuming way too…
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!
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…
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)…
A nice Polar Vortex has settled in over beautiful Southern Ontario making thigs nice and raw. With all the warm weather the first half of this winter I’ve found myself welcoming this freeze. A polar Vortex alone would not normally…
Happy belated New Year Forgotten Silver Readers. After taking a short break during the holidays that brought us to Saint John, New Brunswick for Christmas, we are back in Halifax and focusing on a couple of new initiatives. Something that…
Okay, the holidays are done! Time to get to work. I’ve got less than 10 months to clear out of the warehouse I’m in right now. I can say that we’ve put a good initial dent into the toys, we’ve…
The mighty Alex Sortensen has been at it again, the man likes to analyze the market, lucky for us he’s willing to share his findings and his insights. We appreciate your efforts, Alex! OK let’s turn things over to Mr.…

Happy New Year. I hope 2024 brings everyone health and happiness… and a few comics off the want list. I’m getting the feeling that the comic book collecting hobby is at some sort of crossroads, some junction that offers multiple…
In last week’s post I wrote about CGC having way less comic book submissions and questioned how they were handling it financially. This week I’d like to turn the same question towards the comic book auction houses. The big players…
November ended up being a bit of a time warp. Tania and I caught RSV at Hal-Con and spent a couple of weeks recovering, only to get infected with Covid for the first time in the middle of the month.…
It was over a year ago: I remember bugging CGC to extend the amount of time they leave their invoice numbers available to be referenced by submission accounts like mine. I think in the old days those invoices were available…
