eBay
International Shipping
We have removed all of the region blocks on our eBay store. Please note pricing there may be higher due to eBay’s selling fees. Thank you to the eBay customer from France who brought this to our attention. Ebay’s new International shipping platform makes this a breeze so we have opened all countries to be able to buy from our eBay store.
Re-Vamped Categories
We have switched from eBay Categories to our own Store Driven Categories. There are 4 Main categories, Our Exclusives, Graded Comics, Comic Publishers, and Autographs. They have subcategories to filter out items quickly. For example, Graded Comics has CGC, CGC SS, CGC x JSA, CGC Universal, and CBCS. We can only list items in 2 different categories, which does present some limitations but we will choose the 2 that are most important to the listing. For example, a comic that is signed and graded will show up under those categories and not under the publisher.
Conventions
NYCC
Unfortunately, we were not selected to be in Artist Alley this year for NYCC. This could change as we are waitlisted but I don’t want to mislead any customers. Currently, we are not attending NYCC this year. However, we will apply next year.

We had an incredible time in Chicago this past year and will be applying to return next year. C2E2 2025 will be April 11-13th. We hope to see you there.

Store Add-Ons
A new feature of our website under add to cart you will see a curated list of items that may be similar to what you are looking at or additional options that can be applied to the item.
CGC Grading
We now offer CGC grading options as an add-on for your purchase. We will offer Universal (Blue) and CGC x JSA (Yellow & Black) for eligible items. We have already had customers utilize this feature and it works beautifully.

For those who may want to add a little extra to their comic for storage or display protection. It is available on all raw single issues that we sell. This is not intended to be purchased without a comic.

Wisconsin Website Sales
Direct sales on our web store have been open to our home state of Wisconsin! We are now registered and compliant to collect and remit sales tax for purchases shipped in the state of Wisconsin. Sales taxes will be automatically applied at checkout with any shipping zip codes assigned to the state of Wisconsin.
Future Expansion
We have met with a couple of local shops to work out our plans to open up another booth closer to our home area. More news to come as we work through the finer details but it will happen before this coming Fall. Stay Tuned.
Upcoming Projects
Jesse is hard at work on two more projects that we are excited about. One is with Mad Cave Studios and the other is for an upcoming Kickstarter coming soon.
Mercari
After staying in vacation mode for a couple of months to see how the recent policy changes would impact the platform. We have decided to remove our inventory from Mercari effective immediately. It wasn’t an easy decision to make but a necessary one as I do not believe they were the right changes to make. Mercari used to be our best-selling platform but with the rising costs, passing the burden of fees onto the buyer, and changes in the return policy being a smaller business that attempts to protect its customers I can’t stand by and remain silent. We tried to lower all our pricing to compensate the buyer for the fees being shifted to them instead of us. However, this isn’t a long-term solution as it’s another variable to consider as we cross-post and manage inventory across 4 platforms even with tools to help us it’s an administrative headache. Also as a buyer, I am not a fan of “hidden” fees and that is what it feels like to me since you don’t see the real price until you are checking out.
Whatnot
Since we now have Whatnot marketplace integration with our inventory software. We will be cross-posting all our listings into our marketplace store there in the coming weeks. We might also try a few anytime auctions! I am hopeful to start streaming again once I get our inventory back under control again from the recent shows.
Linktr.ee
We finally did it! Nothing like being late to the party. Our Link Tree is live with all our important links all in one spot. Check it out right here.
C2E2 & Website 2.0
C2E2 2024
We have officially been selected to have a table in Artist Alley at C2E2 this year! This is a huge step for Jesse of Lundberg Graphics and us. We have an awesome idea in the works to make our first show something to remember. More news coming soon. For now, here is our Save the Date!

Website Changes
Instagram Chat pop-up
Every day between the hours of 10 am - 9 pm CST there will be an Instagram chat button visible in the lower left corner of your screen. That will send you directly into Instagram messaging where we will try and respond as fast as possible. If it is after hours the best way to reach us is still via Instagram still but you will need to go to the app directly. Outside of these hours, we may not respond until the next day.
Promotional Pop-ups
You may have noticed that we now have a pop-up when you load the main page. It will highlight a featured item that we are promoting. Usually, this will be our newest Exclusive or an item tied to a Charity Event we are running. Our current one is featuring Charred Remains #1 which Benefits the NFFF!
Improved Reviews Page
We now have our eBay reviews interfaced directly with our website allowing you to see the reviews and an AI-generated summary. The only reviews we filter out are if we are the buyer. Nothing else is hidden to be fully transparent. This system is updated dynamically on its own in real time.
Store Changes
Slide Out Cart - You no longer have to load another page to see your cart. It will pop out over the top of your page when you click the cart button.
Filtering Options - We have replaced the breadcrumbs with filtering options to help you narrow down our items quickly and easily. On the desktop, there will be drop-downs at the top of the page. On mobile devices, there will be a button that will slide out the filtering options.
Celebrity Autographs - Celebrity autographs are here! We will slowly be adding our backstock of inventory as time allows.
Changed from Zoom to Lightbox - When you click on an image, this will load a pop-up of the images full screen instead of having to scroll around with the zoom tool
Upcoming Plans
Garding Against Cancer
We have signed up to be a sponsor for the Janesville Parker & Craig High School Charity Basketball game. The game will be on Feb 8th, 2024 at 7:15 pm at Craig High School in Janesville, WI. More information on the charity can be found here.
2024 Conventions
We have filed applications to bring our cover artist, Jesse Lundberg to a couple of Artist Alleys in the Greater Southern Wisconsin area. We are patiently awaiting the news to see if we were approved. If we get in, we have some very big news to announce. Stay tuned!
Toy Nexus Improvements
We have made some significant upgrades to our area at Toy Nexus. Recently, we have moved into a bigger space and added more displays to allow for us to bring in more inventory.
General Hours (Check their Facebook before heading out)
Wed 4 pm - 8 pm
Fri 4 pm - 8 pm
Sat 10 am - 8 pm
Sun 10 am - 5 pm
Custom Merchandise
We have started to look into making our T-Shirts and it could lead to some awesome ideas of having custom art designs created for our shop. More to come as we finalize the plans and equipment required. This was born out of the idea of having to buy company shirts to wear at cons. While we looked at 3rd party services to provide this, I felt like I wanted ours to have a personal touch and be created by us.

New Exclusive
We are hard at work on another exclusive with Jesse Lundberg. However, I can not reveal more than that at the moment.

May News Drop
Hello everyone,
It’s been a bit since our last post and so much has happened. I broke up the news into different categories to highlight all the recent changes.
First Exclusive CGCs
Milestone Moment for us! We have received our first-ever CGC Yellow Labs for our shared exclusive of Hack Slash Vs Seance Room from CGC with Santana Collectibles on the labels. It’s an incredible feeling holding one of these with all the things that we have accomplished in a relatively short time. I can not thank our customers and Jesse enough for making this dream come to life. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we have more exciting plans in the work. If you would like to see the first slabs we have for sale they are live in our webstore. For the personal collection flex, here is the one I will be keeping…..forever.
Triple Headshot Remark
COAs
We‘ve received our first batch of COAs from the printers. They are fantastic! Jeese Lundberg, who is also our go-to for Graphic Designing, did an incredible job with the layout. I wanted to include a few features you may not have with other COAs. Each one is assigned a specific Certification Code, which can be referenced on our site here. Please note this system is only for items we have witnessed or facilitated the signing of. They will not come with items that we have not participated in obtaining the signatures on.
Example of COA
Web Shop is open!
After doing some more research we are able to open our Web store for orders shipped directly to 47 states.
Visit our store here
These states are not open for direct sales yet.
Alaska
Hawaii
Wisconsin
If you would like these states to be added sooner, please email us and let us know. If there is a demand for it I will move a little faster on what we need to make it happen. For now, the shop will consist of items that we have multiples of or are higher priced like metals, foils, signed books, and most importantly our exclusives, etc. However, by buying direct you will have access to the lowest prices across our platforms. It’s a lot of work to add new listings and it isn’t efficient to use it to sell all items at least until we can integrate our inventory software into our website. To see all the items we have available, I would still use our stores on Mercari, eBay, and whatnot.
Shipping via USPS and UPS is available. If you would like FedEx to be an option, please tell us, and I will look into it.
More items will be added over the coming days.
C2E2 2024 Campaign
We have our hearts set on a table at C2E2 in 2024. We are looking to sponsor Jesse Lundberg of LundbergGraphics and procure him a table in Artist Alley, where we will be assisting him. If you wish to help us please fill out the guest request form here and let them know you wish to see “Jesse Lundberg from Lundberg Graphics”. Please only send 1 request per person as we want to show interest from multiple people not flood their inboxes from one as that would probably hinder our chances.
Thank you all for everything!
C2E2 Guest Request Form
C2E2 and Beyond!
Recap and a look forward
Another year is in the books for the incredibleness of C2E2. We had a fun, jammed packed time in Chicago this year. You can see recent pictures of some of the talent I had the pleasure of meeting on my Instagram. I was able to obtain over 70 signatures while we were there and once I filter out what is staying in my collection I will have some items for sale on our whatnot streams. Coming up I have a friend who will help us at Wicked Con in Boston and I am planning to attend Phenoix Fan Fusion and Chicago Fan Expo. It will be an exciting year!
Triple Signed Exclusive
Speaking of Boston, I am sending our Tim Seeley signed Exclusive back to Jesse Lundberg the cover artist. He and Ben Goldsmith the creator of Seance Room will sign them at Wicked Con in Boston. Allowing us to have a very small amount of triple-signed copies available on our whatnot streams in May. Keep an eye out for upcoming shows.
Coming Soon
I am creating COAs for the items we witness being signed. I have gone back and forth on ideas with this. Ultimately, I want them to carry weight and have more meaning behind them besides being a piece of paper that is a generic mass-produced item. My hope is this will help us stand apart from the crowd and add an extra layer of validity to our items. If we do not witness it, we will not include one of our COAs or post it to our online site ever.
I have a graphic designer working on ideas to help us stand out.
Full Color - Double Sided
Spots for us to manually fill out the details for the signed item.

Certification Code
Finally, I will have a page on my website where you can verify the details of an item with the certification code.
1st Exclusive!
I am excited to unveil our first shared exclusive with Lundberg Graphics! Seance Room Hack Slash a One Shot Crossover issue. It is a limited print run of 200 and we will have the whole gambit of options available soon. They will come with custom COAs to designate the limited print run. These will also ship in mylar bags for an extra touch once we are ready to open orders. I am beyond proud of the work Jesse has performed to make this all happen. Please show him some love on his link tree for all of his platforms. These will be available exclusively on our whatnot channel first before I put them up on our other marketplaces.

Exclusives Incoming
Coming soon to my Whatnot streams will be an exclusive limited print run art print. I purchased a piece of original art from Jesse Lundberg that I thought would make a great mini print to offer to my customers. He was kind enough to redesign the art digitally to make it printer-friendly and it will be available to purchase soon.
Now, I did mention exclusives as in plural in the header. You might be asking what is the other one? Currently, at the printers right now is my very first shared exclusive variant cover comic also in conjunction with Jesse. We both will have signed, remarked, and CGC slabs available for purchase in our streams in the coming months. I might even be able to get a few signed by the creator of the characters as well. We are still finalizing the details and I can't wait to unveil the artwork to you all.
Teases of the Backs Below Stay tuned for the reveals coming soon!
Change of Plans
After consulting with the Dept. of Revenue in my state, I have decided against moving forward with self-hosting a web store. We will be updating our website shortly to reflect the change. Ultimately, the benefits of cutting out the marketplaces don’t outweigh the administrative load that would be put on us. I will revisit the idea in the future but for now, it is being tabled.
We are putting a greater effort into our whatnot streams and will try to have a weekly stream every Thursday at 6:30 pm CST.
Marketplace Updates
Mercari
Mecari has notified us that the shipping rates are changing on 2/15/2023. Please note unless a listing shows free shipping all shipping charges are controlled by Mercari and those funds go directly to them to purchase the shipping label. To help combat the rise in shipping rates please try their new Bundling Feature. We can usually package up to 3 normal-size comics under the 1lb limit before an incase in shipping would occur.
Shipping Update: Here
Bundling Feature: Here
Ebay
We have updated our store’s banner and profile picture.
Whatnot
Going forward we will have a whatnot stream at least every Thursday 6:30-7:30 pm CST. Every week we will have a different section of Comics\Collectibles in the auction list and the buy-in now. Please stop in and stay hi.
Whatnot Returns!
I am returning to whatnot this Thursday (2/2/23) from 6:30-7 pm CST. I have streamlined and shortened the streams. The new format will be condensed from the massive streams I was originally doing. I want this to be a way to interact and engage with you all. Please never feel pressured to buy anything, feel free to come in and chat. I will have co-hosts from time to time where it’s more of an interview. We will talk about different things from inside the comic industry to our personal lives and beyond. Each stream will have different listings from the previous week’s stream to keep it fresh. Please feel free if there is anything you would like to see on the show in the future or any suggestions you have on things to try.
Link to the stream
P.S. I have some very exciting news to share shortly. Stay Tuned!
A look Back and Ahead
2022 Recap
I want to thank everyone that has been on this journey with me. No matter if you are here for the first time or a repeat buyer. Each and everyone one of you is valued and appreciated. I wouldn’t be here without your support or interest and your passion for collecting!
I’ve had a ton of first this past year, I suppose that is common with organizations when they are starting. Looking back at all the steps it’s taken to get here. I am in awe at everything that has been accomplished. A huge shout out to some good friends of mine for all the help they have provided along the way. If you need any commissions please check out My Original Artist page and follow their Instagram’s, feel free to even DM and let them know you appreciate their work too!
2023 Look ahead
I have a lot of really cool projects in the works for the coming year but I can’t speak to them just yet. More to Come in the coming months as the details are finalized but I am looking forward to sharing the news as soon as I can.
Web Store Delays
Tax laws are tricky to navigate in our state. I will meet with a few advisors next month to see what is feasible. I ultimately would love to sell directly to you. This way I can split the extra profit with you the buyer roughly it would be 5% as most platforms take 8-10% of every Sale. However, I need to make sure I am doing everything by the book to get no surprises at the end of the year. I wish we were in a state without sales tax, but we are not. Once I know if it is manageable I will provide another update if hosting my web store is an option I can handle.
1st WhatNot Stream!
I am finally taking the plunge and streaming my first WhatNot show. I owe a huge thank you to LundbergGraphics for giving me the push I needed to do this. I will be on at 5:45 pm CST tonight August 11th. If you haven’t heard of whatnot before it’s like QVC for the new Generation. Feel Free to drop in and hang out.
Tonight’s Show

I wanted to let everyone know that I will be pausing sales on eBay and Mercari starting July 21st until I get back from the cons and can update my inventory to be accurate. If there is anything you would like I wouldn’t wait too long. I plan on taking everything I can with me to Comicverse.
