Hey guys, I'm new here. I work at a local comic book shop to my area and I seem to have a lot of phone calls asking 'who was that guy in that one thing where Batman lost twice to the same guy' to which I answer, 'Swamp Thing'.
I know we have access to the internet, but with so many variables in a question sometimes we can't find the answer we're looking for and, with a frustrated sigh, give up our search and convince ourselves it wasn't that important anyway.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
Got some old comics from your dad up in the attic but you don't trust yourself to grade them and/or figure you're being ripped off by a local comic shop (since you most likely are)?
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I will grade comics (the more pics the better), help you sort through your collection (e.g., Avengers #54 and Avengers #55 are from two different book series?!) , or even help you remember that one guy who was in that one thing with the pirates that one time for like an issue. (It was Gambit in New Exiles on a planet where the entire world was full of Elvish Pirates and yes, it was awful.)
I don't seek any sort of restitution, other than upvotes I suppose, but I legitimately enjoy looking at people's collections (the more pics the better I can help you) and give advice on what something would fetch for. Sort of like an Antique Broadband Show.
I don't know how successful this will be, or if it's even worth pursuing, but I truly enjoy helping people find key issues or determining the value of their collection with altruistic intentions.
Take care guys!
