Someone scribbled their name on the cover of the silver age book you just bought? It could be worth more than you think if it's a Pedigree book! I admittedly knew little about these books before doing the research prior to this article. I was interested...
When it comes to video games, Leprechauns can be as hard to find as they are in real life. I have a feeling we won't be finding any pots of gold, but that is the joy of the chase. With some careful searching, here are five great...
Faith and begorrah lads and lassies! With it being St. Patrick’s Day, you have to figure that the day just wouldn’t be right if we didn’t take the time to talk about that irascible X-Man from the fair land of Ireland. The biggest screamer in the Marvel...
Today is a good day to spotlight my favorite Irish-American character, Hitman Tommy Monaghan. Not only is Tommy of Irish heritage, but more importantly, he was created by two true-blooded Irishmen, Garth Ennis and John McCrea. Let's take a look at this fan-favorite series and see if...
When it comes to the March holiday St. Patrick's Day, many traditions come to mind. Depending on where you live, these traditions differ slightly but share a central theme. In Boston, for me at least, the Celtic punk band The Dropkick Murphys and St. Patrick’s day have...
I like themes. I hate rules. Imagine then me saying I would do a green-themed blog for St. Patrick's Day. Challenge accepted. Here is my list of four books that deal with green that I believe could earn you some green. Think of these as my secret...
When it comes to St. Paddy's Day, I'm conflicted. Sure my name is Patrick Timothy, I have Irish ancestry, and my small hometown had two parades: Christmas and St. Patrick's Day. And just to throw more green beer on the fire, my college gave students two days...
The Bronze Age has been surging over the last two years. Horror comics, superhero comics, and even fantasy comics have all blown up. However, investors, collectors, and speculators get flooded by everything else in the marketplace. Often they overlook or forget these once-hot comic books. This might...
Cobra Kai’s YouTube/Netflix series has rekindled the love for the 1980s Karate Kid franchise. However, Daniel LaRusso was not the first Karate Kid; that distinction belongs to an obscure DC character from the Silver Age. WHO IS THE KARATE KID?
The Modern Age seems to stretch on forever, even if you remove the Copper Age from the equation. This amorphous age seems to continue to grow. This is the one age I don't entirely trust as a collector or an investor. I do believe as a...
It's not exactly a New Year's resolution, more like a New Year's activity. I resolved to exercise on the elliptical every day while watching every episode of Star Trek in order. You understand the regimen. Personally, I'm not tabulating, but supposedly Gene Roddenberry and company produced 797...
From albums to comics, covers help make sales. We saw this recently with the Amazing Spider-Man #55 with the Gleason cover. Most comic book lovers can pick out covers easily in the Silver and Bronze age, but what about the sweet Golden Age? Take a trip with...
Welcome to the Blogger Dome! Here, bloggers will argue different topics involving the comic book market and industry. This will be a combination of the Big Bang Theory meets the WWE. Smack talk mixed with comic book debates. This week's battle is the investment prospects of original...
Smoothly perusing Kenny G posters is the second smoothest thing about this guy (the first being his tunes of course). This man has had an extensive career, one with plenty of peaks and valleys. From a relegation of sorts to Jazz radio...
Vincent Deighan, a.k.a. Frank Quitely, has quietly built an impressive portfolio. The Scottish artist caught my attention as a candidate for 21st Century Da Vinci. To be nominated, I'm looking for artists whose primary works originated since the year 2000. Generally, I like to see abundant credits...
Rise of the… Dawn of the… War for the… Conquest of the… So long as more titles (or more accurately pre-titles) can be generated, the Planet of the Apes franchise will forever live on. Until we get the next installment in the “of the” series, thankfully we...
The year 2000 forever changed comic book collecting and investing. While many people were distracted by Y2K, the year also saw the first-ever graded comic books by a third party, CGC in particular. The comic book market would never be the same. Steve Borock, who was a...
Due to current circumstances, many find themselves having lots of free time at home. The question is what to do with this free time? Well, you can start a hobby, read, or you can hold on to your seats and check out all these hot titles coming...
Shortly after Chadwick Boseman's tragic death in late August 2020, the value of Shuri's first appearance in Black Panther #2 rose dramatically. For example, in early August 2020, CGC 9.8 copies of Black Panther #2 generally sold for less than $250 on eBay. A month later, copies...
I just finished watching 2018's Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors on Disney+ and felt immediate regret for not watching them sooner! As I viewed the animated film, I realized it likely served as a means to test new characters before Disney brought them to the MCU. The film...
