Things are busy, ICE consignments are streaming in nicely, the warehouse move is inching forward, even if not so nicely, at Big B Comics on Upper James in Hamilton we’re rolling out our “Give Comics Not Cavities” packs for Halloween…
I’m a summer guy, love the heat, but this year I’ve decided to embrace Fall, I’ll enjoy the changing colors of the leaves then revel at them falling off the trees during those cold rainy November days, then I’ll absolutely…
I’m not sure if this is a good sign or a bad one but lately I’ve been getting outbid on my poverty bids on sites like Heritage and ComicLink, back in February and March I was winning those poverty bids.…
I thought only rock stars set up in front of sold out venues, in different towns, weekend after weekend, turns out I was wrong. I have a pal that just called me to report that he did great at the…
Back to school? I don’t know about you but I feel like I’ve been schooled steady for the past 18 months, this collectibles comic market has been teaching me lessons nonstop, and might I add some of these lessons have…
I should have went to Fan Expo, I told myself I’d go but somehow weaseled out at the last minute. I hope everyone that went enjoyed the show, Chris Owen went Friday, said the show was packed with people, said…
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, Southern Ontario has been rainy but hot, I myself like the heat but I can do with about half the rain. I have a strong team of bees working the lavender patch just…
I had fun following the Olympics, they shine a light on so many cool sports that seem to matter all of a sudden, but then, unfortunately, all but disappear until the next Olympics. The ping pong highlights were insane as…
The Olympics are in Paris this time around, I hope you’ve been enjoying the spectacle. Unfortunately I haven’t been watching as much as I’d like but I am keeping tabs on all the results. So far the Canuck boys and…
I like listening to ambient music on the headphones while I do these posts, I’m now back to the 1920s now, early Hoagy Carmichael, good stuff. At this rate I’ll be into the Byzantine hymns by the fall. From my…
The San Diego Comic Con is this coming week, I had a look at the events and I will say that this looks like a great pop culture show. This show was such a huge pop culture influencer about a…
I was in a sour mood yesterday, was looking forward to a nice long bike ride but the torrential rain ended that thought. I took this sour mood over to the “going up on the eBay auction” pile and as…
There is such a difference with going back to work after the September Labor Day holiday compared to going back to work after July 1st Canada Day and/or Independence Day July 4th. I think they should just write the month…
There was way to much going on this past weekend, I had a big lamb roast to go to on Sunday and another big lamb roast to go to yesterday for Canada Day! Balkan hosts are easily offended, especially if…
… And the livin is easy… I hope everyone enjoys their summer, make sure you take some time off and get some needed rest, make sure you marvel at the bees and stop and smell the roses. A fresh clear…
Happy Solstice everyone. I don’t watch enough sports, I hardly watch any, so yesterday I tried to fix that by watching the lads from the old county face off against England at the Euro 2024. Now I remember why I…
It was a busy weekend, I had a few guys pop into the warehouse to settle up accounts, catch up a bit and talk comics. One popular topic was the state of the market, current prices and where the market…
Last night we closed out our icecollectibles semi-annual Canadiana eBay auction, 237 lots sold, some did poorly, some did as expected and some did fantastic. Thiought there was a good amount of strong finishes, please see the bottom of post…
Putting together a themed auction can be a daunting task, especially when there’s a flood of late consignments. We’re proud of our Canadiana auction, we want it to do well, so we tried hard to get everyone’s items in. I…
