Howdy!

For those of you who desire brevity in my newsletters, our 60% off NANETTE! codeword sale is still in effect for you this weekend on all ten million of our back issue comics and magazines, excluding only new issues, a few variants, and our professionally-graded items. We are also hosting a huge no-minimum-bid auction of comics and collectibles on Saturday morning at Jason St. starting at 11:30 AM, as well as an amazingly fun Texas Hold'em poker tournament. On-site registration for the Jason St. poker tournament begins on Saturday morning at 10 AM, but advance registration at any of our three Mile High Comics retail stores is highly encouraged.


AUCTION FLYER

In other news, today's newsletter is being written on my return flight to Denver from Portland, OR. I flew here on Tuesday evening to complete the purchase of an immense private collection of comics, toys, books, statues, limited edition prints, and portfolios. The owner of this awesome accumulation has retired, is moving out of the country, and needed someone to help him liquidate his oftentimes very eclectic personal possessions. Thanks to our nearly 40-year professional friendship, I was chosen.


Broken Key

Loading this wonderful deal was quite an adventure, which turned into an 18-hour marathon when the seller's key broke off! in the very robust padlock at his public storage facility. The owners of his storage company subsequently refused to help us cut off the lock, so I was left with no choice but to put my alternative skills (learned in my 25-year career of repairing equipment on our organic vegetable farm...) into action.


Lock Removed

So you know (just in case you ever operate under the delusion that a padlock really protects anything) a claw hammer skillfully applied as a pry bar can bend a metal hasp on many a door like butter, thus disengaging the padlock from the door. I cannot count the number of times I have heard of storage lockers stripped bare by thieves using precisely this technique. In this instance, it worked great for the good guys, as it gained us critical access to the seller's stash, just in time to keep me from missing my plane home. Repairing the damage should also cost less than $5, as it only requires replacing a single bracket held in by two screws and a small bolt. Whew...


Truck is starting to get full.

As regards the collectibles that we are receiving, I actually have no idea of the specifics. My friend had unique access to extremely limited edition releases (including a few prototypes for comics-related collectibles that never actually went into production) of comics, books, statues, and toys. Many are so ultra-rare that we will have engage in serious online research in order to determine a best guess of current market prices. Unfortunately, we will receive this shipment of seven huge pallets from FedEx Freight in Denver late next week, right as our holiday sales are peaking. That means that nothing can be done to sort/price most of these items until after Christmas. Once we get into early January, however, you should see a steady stream of truly unique additions flow into both our website listings, and in the showcases in our Jason St. Mega-Store, from this truly unique accumulation. This is going to be fun!


Chuck loading the last of the collection.

As an aside, I did want to mention that this kind of truly eclectic collection is precisely what I am seeking for Jason St. While we are already well-known around the world for offering the largest and most diverse inventory of comics, comics magazines, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, and comics hardbacks available anywhere, not so many people know that we have spent the past eight years diligently expanding our selection of awesome comics collectibles in Jason St. We now have over 100 showcases and display shelves in the Mega-Store packed full with an incredible spectrum of statues, PVC figures, rare nostalgia items, Disneyana, POP! figures, posters, pulps, big little books, movie memorabilia, action figures, and much, much more.


Inside our Mega Store

So you know, my goal is to double that number of showcases in Jason St. by the end of next year, while at the same time greatly expanding our displays of collectibles. This has nothing to do (really) with expanding our sales, but rather is an intentional effort on my part to create a truly unique viewing experience for our visitors, and most especially the children of Denver. Simply put, Jason St. has one tremendous attribute, which is a truly vast amount of square footage available for displays. I want to turn our gigantic store into a 45,000 square foot living museum where you can see cool items that are simply available nowhere else in the world. Mine is a lofty (and capital-intensive) goal, but by seeking to only make small incremental improvements in any given month, we are successfully managing to fund this gradual expansion of our collectibles offerings.


Mile High Comics gift certificate

I will close today's newsletter with another request for help in purchasing socks, gloves, scarves, and warm hats for the homeless living on the streets of Denver and Albuquerque. Purchase any gift certificate from us for $25 or more, and I will dedicate 100% of those revenues to buying desperately-needed warm weather clothing for those vulnerable people who have no choice but to stay away from the large (and dangerous) public shelters. Any help that you are giving to those in need through this offer actually costs you nothing, as you (or a friend) can use your gift certificate at any time to make a purchase via our website, or at one of our retail stores. I will personally donate all the merchandise that is given away through this offer, Nanette and I both are committed to help those in need during the coming bitter nights, and we would very much appreciate any assistance that you might be willing to provide. Thank you.

Happy collecting!

P.S. While I have been traveling, Will Moulton and Pam have continued to purchase amazingly nice comics from sellers who bring their collections in to Jason St. We get offered upwards of 6-10 collections a day, so they oftentimes purchase a remarkable number of truly awesome comics in any given week...
