Slab
lineco
A key-issue comic collection, built in public. Real hunts, real bids, real comps. Learning out loud: the wins, the losses, and what each one taught us.
The rules, in public
We're new to this and say so. These are the rules we hold ourselves to, and you can hold us to them.
Sold comps, not asking prices
A max price comes from what copies actually sold for, with the source linked. If there's no real comp, we say "no verified comp" and don't guess.
Verify before we bid
Graded books: the CGC/CBCS cert gets looked up and matched to the photos. Raw books: front, back and spine photos, plus checks for reprints and restoration.
Walk away when it's wrong
No spine photo, thin seller feedback, or a price over our max means we pass. Passing is part of the story too.
Posted honestly, after the close
We never post a max bid or a live listing before an auction ends. After it ends, we post the result either way, losses included.
Coming soon
Books show up here once they're in hand and verified. Only real photos of copies we own.
