Local News - X-MEN, DEADPOOL, SPIDER-MAN Collections Arrive - Auction Cancelled

Howdy!

I need to begin today's newsletter by letting you know that we have to cancel the special toys and collectibles auction that we had scheduled for this Saturday at our Jason St. Mega-Store. While our Jason store is open for business and looks great, there is still a considerable amount of paperwork that we have to complete as regards the insurance claim that we need to file after the huge hailstorm that hit us a week ago Monday. As much as would prefer otherwise, I will be spending the entire weekend inventorying water-damaged comics in the back of the store.


Early part of the storm.

Speaking of last week's hailstorm, our waitress at McCoy's restaurant surprised me last evening with the photo above, taken by a friend of hers at the beginning of the storm near the intersection of I-70/Kipling. This is the first image that I have seen of the early part of the storm, and I think that it clearly illustrates that we were hit by more than just hail. In case you missed my previous newsletters, all 70 of our store's skylights were shattered. Damage to the retail portion of Jason St. was relatively minor, but a couple of very large shelves filled with expensive variants were flooded in the back. We lost well over $100,000 in limited edition comics, including many issues that we published. Sigh...


Top 5 winners of the Poker Tournament.

In more positive news, last Saturday's Texas Hold'em poker tournament held at our Jason St. store was a wonderful success, with 60 players registered. As a result, we raised $1,831.00 in donations for the Harvey Milk Foundation. I sincerely thank our volunteer dealers, Rion Ringer and the members of the Royal poker club, and our wonderful Mile High Comics staff for helping to bring this fun event to fruition. Our next poker tournament is tentatively scheduled for June 24th.


Everyone having fun at the tournament.

I will close today's newsletter by encouraging everyone to check out the Premium New-In-Stock link on our website for this week. Pam and Will Moulton have purchased an amazing number of great collections during this past week, including huge runs of X-MEN, DEADPOOL, WOLVERINE, BATMAN, etc. all of these great back issue comics are instantly available to you at our Jason St. location when you visit the "Help Desk" in the back of the store. The staff at the "Help Desk" have immediate access to all eight million back issue comics, magazines, trade paperbacks, and comics hardbacks listed on our website. This is a unique service that we gladly provide to you free of charge.


New and Improved Help Desk!

Happy collecting!
