Today was a bitter sweet day for comic book day. While I sold some comic books for $30 and added another title to my list, I closed down my pull list at Rick’s Comic City.
As a part of my packing, I sorted through my collection to find 3 small boxes of comic books that were not suited for my collection. Titles such as “The New Mutants” and “Excalliber” are not comic book titles that foloow my loose guidelines for collecting. In addition, the many independant titles that I have come across were not suited either. Therefore, I took them to “The Great Escape” in Madison, TN. They paid $15 for some Captian America and some “Tales from the Crypt” reprints and the rest they paid another $15. I was happy, I only expected $20.
I have been debating whether to add Daredevil to my collection. I have watched the covers from the last several trips, as well as some in the PX and I have liked what I’ve seen. So, I have had him to my list.
The list is another issue. Because of my upcoming move, I was forced to close my account with Rick’s Comic City. I can’t recommend this comic shop enough. I have been very pleased with the staff and with the facilities. I am very sorry to have to leave it because I have no idea what my future stores will look like.
The Comic Book Day adventure continues where ever I may end up.
