Quote Of The Week
"I should also make up some kind of 'pedigree' name for this collection, like the, I don't know, 'Seaside Funnybooks in Cardboard Boxes Collection,' and price them accordingly. Plus, I can tell exciting stories about how the collection was acquired: 'Well, one day, a guy called and asked if we wanted to buy his comics, and we said 'sure, let us take a look at 'em,' and we saw he had some pretty good stuff, so we bought them. The end." -- Retailer Mike Sterling
