Well,\nwe didn’t get a Payroll Protection Loan from the CARES act, what a mess that\nturned out to be, so it’s time to take care of ourselves again, with a lot of\nhelp from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACEBOOK LIVE SALE #4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our 4th Facebook Live\nSale will take us back to the Marvel Comics I love so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’ll have 150 Late Silver \/ Early Bronze age books at 50% off guide sold live at 6 pm EST this Sunday! Just tune into our Facebook Page!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always we’ll be\nposting a gallery of the books ahead of time so you can see the condition. Last\nweek was a technological failure while being a overall success. Due to the\nstorm (?) we had major connection issues that I’m sure were awful for everyone.\n(It was incredibly stressful for me.) Thanks for hanging in there with us\nthough! We sold 100% of the books, 90% live and the rest in the gallery overnight!\nThe new system worked well, Ben reviewed the video to make sure all the time\nstamps were correct, then posted a list of the winners that night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone for helping to keep Ben and Jim employed. As stated before, until we are open to the public I will not take any money out of the store. It all goes to the basics, rent, utilities, their salary and medical.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHOP UPDATES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully we’ll be\nable to open in some capacity on May 1st! Who knows? Rest assured we will take\nevery precaution upon reopening. Yes, a plexiglass screen is going up, we’ll\nhave to limit the amount of people in the shop, lots of hand sanitizer lying\naround, face masks for staff. Whatever it takes, we’ll do it. I even have what\nmay be the first Steranko \/ Kirby Captain America face mask out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like Diamond is shooting for Mid to late May for new comic releases,<\/a> which I’m fine with.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get to sell back\nissues and graphic novels until then. (we’ve also sold a record amount of bags\nand boards, people gotta keep busy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, DC has a plan for early distribution, but it’s super slim shady, and we likely won’t participate. Check out the dummy companies used to hide Midtown<\/a> (who I do like personally) and DCBS (who I do not care for personally.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would only be one\nweek’s worth of books spread out over three weeks anyway. We will absolutely\nget you all your books though, not to worry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, please try to\ncontact the shop to clear out any books remaining in your file, we need the\nmoney dude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also understand if\nyou no longer have the finances for your comics, please just let us know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay everyone, thanks\nfor all the support. Here’s one to grow on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
