I still need to pack my own suitcase, as well as palletize all of the comics that I scored during MegaCon. Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031710.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031510.html I have to admit that I was not as enthusiastic this year about attending MegaCon as I have been in years past. Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031210.html It is 5:20 AM here in Orlando, and it's raining. Hard. My flight in from Colorado was delayed yesterday by over an hour, as we had to circle while a huge thunderstorm pounded the Orlando airport. Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031210.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031010.html I'm back at home in Colorado today, after finishing the loading of the huge tractor-trailer full of comics that I purchased in Southern California last week. Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/031010.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030810.html Day one of my California adventure is now over. The first 80,000 comics that I purchased here in LA are now securely loaded into the 53' truck that we are utilizing to transport this immense collection back to Colorado. Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030810.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030410.html Today's newsletter is being written on Thursday afternoon, as I am leaving for Los Angeles at the crack of dawn on Friday. Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030410.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030310.html I'm back in Colorado today, if only briefly. I flew home from Newark on Monday evening, arriving at our beloved farm in Boulder at 10 PM. I immediately collapsed into bed, and haven't been of much use ever since. Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030310.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030110.html At long last, I'm going home. After 11 days of purchasing comics throughout New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maine, my flight to Denver departs from Newark airport at 6 PM. Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/030110.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022610.html Another white-knuckle drive last evening, as I drove 150 miles from northwestern Massachusetts, back to New York City. Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022610.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022410.html Another weary morning today, as I had to drive 200 miles last night in a heavy snowstorm. I spent the day yesterday buying comics from a friend's warehouse in southern Maine. Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022410.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022210.html I had trouble sleeping last night. My restlessness has been getting progressively worse over the past three days, as the rigors of picking comics out of long boxes has begun to affect my brain. Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/022210.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021910.html Today's newsletter is coming to you from Fairfield, New Jersey, just a few miles east of New York City. Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021910.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021710.html I'm back in Colorado today, if only for another 24 hours. I returned home from California late Monday evening, after a surprisingly successful trip. Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021710.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021510.html It's 9 PM on Sunday, and I'm writing this column quickly so that I can get to bed. I have to be up at 4 AM, as I'm making a quick trip to California tomorrow to look at very a large comics deal. Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021210.html A relatively short newsletter today, as I have to make up time on writing our DC buying list after a computer glitch shut me down on Wednesday. Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021210.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021010.html It's a nice, sunny morning here in Boulder, Colorado, with the bright sunlight creating beautiful little reflective diamonds in the snow covering our back yard. As in much of the rest of country right now, however, it is quite cold here, so this is really not a morning for outside activities. Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/021010.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020810.html It's snowing here this morning, just as it has been all around the country this past week. While the ice on the roads makes my driving to work a bit more difficult, I actually sort of like this time of year. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020810.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020510.html While lying in bed drinking coffee in the pre-dawn hours this morning, however, I decided that even after 40 years, I can still be flexible and adapt to current conditions. That being the case, I then decided that I was going to create a brand new 40YEARS word sale, which would provide all of you with exactly the same 30% off codeword discount as the WOODCHUCK sale. Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020310.html As promised, I have a couple of photos for you today of my visit this week to the home of the groundhog, Punxsutawney, PA. As most of you already know, February 2nd is Groundhog's Day. The tiny western Pennsylvania village of Punxsutawny adopted this holiday in 1887 as a reason to hold a town festival, in what is otherwise the cold, gray depths of winter. Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020310.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020110.html Today's newsletter is being written in Punxsutawney, PA, the home of the woodchuck! With Groundhog's Day (which is also known as Candlemas...) being on February 2nd, Punxsutawney has had a tradition since 1887 of hosting a tongue-in-cheek celebration of woodchucks. Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/020110.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012910.html Today's newsletter is coming to you from the Tudor Hotel, on 2nd Ave. and 42nd St., in New York City. My wife, Nanette, and I are staying here for three days visiting museums, while we wait for Groundhog's Day to roll around. Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012910.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012710.html After two days of non-stop comics buying here in New Jersey, Will Moulton and I spent yesterday afternoon packing up 8,000 hand-picked comics for shipment back to Colorado. Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012710.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012510.html Today's newsletter is coming to you from the second floor traveler's lounge in the Denver airport. I'm set to leave in just under an hour for Newark, New Jersey. Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012210.html I'm feeling pretty darn happy this morning. After a wait of nearly a month, the pricing revisions that I have been seeking for our website are finally in place. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012210.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012010.html Today's newsletter is going to be very short, as I really want to focus entirely on highlighting our new giveaways program. Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/012010.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011810.html After a really nice weekend spent working on our new DC buying list, I've worked my way all the way through the alphabet to creating buying prices for JLA. Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011810.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011510.html It's a bright and beautiful morning here in Colorado. After a longer than usual early January cold spell, we have actually been seeing some melting of the deep snow that fell in December. Fri, 15 Jan 2010 11:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011310.html A very short newsletter today, as I am in a hurry to get to Denver to keep working on my new DC buying list. I spent the past couple of days completely focused on writing buying prices, and managed to get DC "A"-"D" nearly completed. Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011310.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011110.html I just finished establishing the buying prices for the DC's from ACTION through all of the BATMAN titles, including all of the one-shots and mini-series. Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/011110.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/010810.html Aside from dropping all of our website prices, I also came up with a special giveaway for today's newsletter. Fri, 8 Jan 2010 12:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/010810.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/010510.html I'm writing Wednesday's newsletter a day early, as I will be unconscious on an examining table at 9 AM tomorrow. There's no need for alarm at this news, as at the urging of my doctor, I will be undergoing a routine colonoscopy tomorrow. Tue, 5 Jan 2010 12:00:00 MDT http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/010510.html http://www.milehighcomics.com/newsletter/010410.html I hope that you had as nice a weekend as I did. I spent the past three days working in my comics vault, sorting (and reading) my personal collection of fanzines and Underground Comix.
