Check Out The Four Best Comic Book Shops In San Diego!

Look out for a whole collection of Copper Age books with this RARE ‘Mark Jewelers Insert’ hitting the website soon!

These special variant comics were sold only near U.S. Military establishments around the states and overseas in the 1970s. They were made to encourage soldiers’ to buy jewelry for their significant others back home. It is tough to find these issues in a high grade. The reason is the soldiers’ intent, who would use the comics for their actual purpose (reading), often leaving visible creases on the book. The Jewelry advertised included rings, watches, necklaces, and more.

The Forensic Comicologist

A childhood comic book fan turned comic book retailer, the author soon discovered the prevalence of scams in the world of comics collecting. This book is his tutorial on how to collect wisely and reduce risks. Drawing on skills learned from twenty years with the San Diego Police Department and as a Comic-Con attendee since 1972, he covers in detail the history and culture of collecting comic books and describes the pitfalls, including common deceptions of grading and pricing, as well as theft, and mail and insurance fraud.
