Comics Value

 If you are looking to sell comics, be aware that condition dictates much of how much a comic is worth. chipping of the spine, those little creases along the stapled edge, drops the value of a comic significantly. Grading, or "slabbing" a comic can increase its value tenfold, as someone independently has said this is the condition of the comic on a 0 to 10 scale. Note that grading does not automatically set a price for a comic. That is determined by how much collectors are willing to pay for it.

these days, collectors primarily look for what are called "key issues", books containing the first appearance of a character or a major event in the character storyline, usually a death such as that of Robin or Gwen Stacy. The first appearance of Deadpool, in issue #98 of The New Mutants, sells for anywhere from $200 (ungraded) to $900 (graded and signed).

Bloomburrow

 We will host a pre-release for the Bloomburrow Magic set the weekend of July 26.  Prepayment ends the 24 of July and the first tournament starts at 5:30 on the 26th. A second one starts at 5:30 on the 27 and we will host a Two-headed Giant at 1 p.m. on the 28th.

One Piece

 Well, we have had people asking for the One Piece Trading card game for months and finally our suppliers managed to get us some. Hope the local demand is still out there. We also received a large restock of D&D Player character miniatures.

DCC Day

 DCC Dungeon Crawl Classics Day is this Saturday. Come in and you may pick up not only this year's DCC Adventure Pack but, while they last, a copy of last year's as well. We only have a limited number of last year's Packs though so get them while they are here.

We also have the limited edition DCC foil hardcover adventure and the 2024 DCC adventure as well as  a few copies of Tales from the Smoking Wyrm, but you have to pay for them.

Yu Gi Oh Premier Events

 The store did not get offered a premiere event for The Infinite Rebellion because we lost OTS Standing. Stores have to run at least 1 tournament of 4 players a month to retain standing and we have only had one tournament fire this year.

Skaventide

 The 5th edition boxed set for Age of Sigmar, Skaventide, releases this Saturday. While quantities last, purchase a set and receive a limited edition journal with the two-tailed comet on the cover.

Murder Mystery Games

 We just bought over a dozen murder mystery games and added them to the used section. Prices on most of these are $9.99 and $14.99, though we do have one set of three games for $69.99. Playable by 1 to 6 people, these have been played but all of the components were put back in their envelopes.

Declaration of Independence

 Store Staff and members of the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce will read the Declaration of Independence tomorrow starting at 11 a.m.  You can watch on the store Facebook page or even come to the store and watch live.
