It's really simple, I love everything to do with comics! I took an affinity to collecting comics ever since I was a kid, lusting after what I always referred to as the "The Holy Grail" or "The Grail" of something. First it was the hottest comic on the newsstand, and later in life it became items I thought I would never be able to obtain, the books and art surrounding it I would only dream of owning some day. Now after decades of collecting, I've decided to bring these "Grails" to this site. Our collection primarily specializes in Golden, Silver & Bronze Age Comics, some copper/modern, and most recently a larger focus on Original Comic Art for the most discerning of collectors.
We have been a part of numerous comic book records on both the buying and selling side, first in 2018 with the highest priced coverless copy of any comic at the time at $82.6k (Action Comics #1 first Superman and hero comic). We later broke that record by reselling the same book in 2020 for $130k.
We've had some other notable records in between, but most recently we broke more records in 2024 with the acquisition of Dectective Comics #27 6.5, breaking the World Record for the 1st appearance of Batman comic book just shy of $2m, at 1.825m! We also broke 2 other world records with Action Comics #1, the most important comic in the hobby being the first hero book and 1st appearance of Superman. In early 2024 we broke a restored comic book record overall and also being another Action Comics #1 selling at $576k, then re-breaking that same record buying the highest graded restored copy of Action Comics #1 with the least amount of restoration, a gorgeous 9.0 Near Mint copy for just shy of $800k!
*2025 Update- New 7 Figure Art Record will be posted soon, all we can say is this will be a BIG one and has to do with the single most important comic that not only started the hero world, but the overall comic hobby overall!
Take the records and the crazy money out of it, I'm just an avid collector/dealer having fun with my childhood hobby. Let the fun and collecting continue for us all! Hope you enjoy our website and please visit us again soon!
