One Year Later: New Comic Spec Review for 5/10/17
What up CHUllectors!?! Shawn B. back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, and Poyo specced on one year ago.

Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors

So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: New Comic Spec Review for 5/10/17”
