A general discussion of collecting cool things.
Philip Weis Auctions recently sold a copy of the first Detective Comics for $25,000.00. Throw in a little Batman a few issues later and you get over a million, but $25k is nothing to sneeze at.

The third auction of the incredible Donald Kaufman Collection of vintage toys will take place April 16 and 17, 2010 at Bertoia’s gallery in Vineland, NJ. The collection is so massive that it will take five auctions to sell all the items. The first two auctions hauled in over $7 million! If old toys are [...]

Alright, I’ve scrounged around in the sofa cushions and raided my kid’s piggy bank — $18.34. I don’t think that’s going to be enough to bid on the copy of Detective Comics #27 up for auction at Heritage. The price currently stands at $425,000.00 which is a record for a comic book auction. Sure, Supes [...]
As a child of the 80’s, I wanted to be Daniel-san and kick some blond-headed Cobra Kai patootie. I practiced that stupid crane kick for hours, but luckily never had to use it in a real fight. Might’ve killed a man. Anyway, I digress. This new version with Jackie Chan as the Mr. Miyagi character [...]
