It Came From The Long Box: Deathmate
All of us have done something we’ve regretted. A bad hair cut right before school photos. Owning an album by C&C Music Factory. Proclaiming New Coke better than old Coke. Me? I own the entire Deathmate mini series from Valiant…

Doctor Who?
Doctor Who began in 1963 and dazzled a UK TV audience immediately. Seven actors played the Doctor on TV before the show was sadly dropped in 1989 after a very strong but, waning first run. Following a (publicly demanded) TV…
Uncanny X-Men #2
With the X-Men split into two camps, Cyclops and Wolverine lead two very different teams of X-Men headquartered in San Francisco and Westchester respectively. While Wolverine reopened the school in Westchester, Cyclops remained on Utopia with mutantkind's established figures to continue their fight for survival in a world that hates and fears them.

In late 2009 a collection of key Bronze Age titles (list below) would have been worth approximately $65,000. Using the latest auction data, this collection would be worth around $36,000 today. A stunning 45% drop.
