Free STAR WARS and BOB'S BURGERS SDCC Variants Howdy! After 30 years of amazing Mile High Comics history, I signed a contract to sell our 56th Ave. headquarters building yesterday. Surprisingly, it did not sell to one of our local marijuana growing operations, but rather to a gentleman whose business had recently lost its own building to an imminent domain seizure. On many levels that makes me feel better about the sale our beloved headquarters, as I would prefer that our building go to help out another local small business person, just as it helped to launch Mile High Comics into a new era of prosperity when I first purchased it, way back in 1986. I have nothing against the pot growers, but having lost two of our beautiful California Mega-Stores (Anaheim and Garden Grove) to imminent domain actions, I am particularly sympathetic to this man's plight. MILE HIGH 56th Ave. Warehouse As regards what this building sale means for you, I can promise you that it will lead to enormous improvements at Mile High Comics. For starters, combining our headquarters in the same building as our Jason St. Mega-Store is going to reduce our monthly operating costs by about $200,000 a year. Initially, we will need those savings to help cover the costs of our move, and to also finally eliminate the last of our pesky short term debt. Very soon thereafter, however, those wonderful savings will be redirected into purchasing hundreds of private comics and book collections, and toward paying for the labor required to add those choice collectibles into our online listings. I promise you that we will be expanding our online offerings for you enormously over the next twelve months! Another factor that should please you very much is that our much lower operating costs will also allow us to keep low prices in effect for you on tens of thousands of back issues listed on our website , including most of the comics that I will be purchasing for you on my buying trips. Simply put, our Jason St. Mega-Store has already been generating enough monthly operating income to cover all the costs of maintaining our huge Jason St. building. For all practical purposes, that will mean that our entire online operation will now have no monthly interest, rent, or utilities costs to cover. That is great news for you, as I have every intention of passing those savings on to you through lower base prices, and also by offering you even more generous sales. I can't wait! On a more somber note, we now need to pack up and transport the 6 million back issues stored in 56th, all of our shelving, and our offices. While everything will certainly fit into our cavernous 65,000 square foot Mega-Store building, it is still going to be a time-consuming and strenuous task. We have only 85 days to get this job done, and it is going to be quite a challenge. I have already put out the word locally that we are seeking to hire temporary staff to help with this move. If you know if anyone living in the Denver area who might be willing to help us, have them apply in person at our Jason St. Mega-Store Monday-Thursday, and Saturday. They should ask to speak to the manager, Chris Lanham. Moving on to news from our online business, our 40% off MILEHIGH2 codeword sale is still in effect for you, and will probably be maintained for a while. As I mentioned in Wednesday's newsletter, every comic and magazine that we can sell to you right now is one at we don't have to move over to Jason St. That is precisely why I am letting so many of our best back issues sell for $2, or less, right now. Please do enjoy the MILEHIGH2 codeword with our sincere thanks for your support of Mile High Comics. Some Comics from the pre-1960's collection On a related note, while the MILEHIGH2 codeword is great for buying thousands of different comics from us for $2, or less, it also drops the price on all of our older comics by a full 40% off. That is particularly nice when, like we did yesterday, we score a great collection of 500+ pre-1960 comics! Most of these older comics are already remarkable bargains, as they are in lower grades, but when the additional 40% MILEHIGH2 discount is also applied, they end up being ridiculously inexpensive. We only have one copy each of the issues pictured, however, so I highly recommend your visiting our New-In-Stock link right away. Even more issues from this one cool collection will be offered in Saturday morning's New-In-Stock link... BOB'S BURGERS (2015) #1 SDCC I will close today's newsletter with a surprise free comic book offer from last year's San Diego Comic-Con. To explain, I was prowling through the closed off area in the back of the Mega-Store this morning where we store all of our convention material. This area will need to be eliminated soon, so I checked out a small stack of boxes that had been set under one of our con signs. To my amazement, one of those hidden boxes contained 50 copies of the ultra-scarce BOB'S BURGERS #1 SDCC variant! We had thought that we had completely sold out of that highly desirable cult favorite, with no copies being listed as available on our website for months. Upon finding them I immediately asked Will to put 20 copies on the system for sale, and to go ahead and release the rest as a free bonus item for anyone willing to place minimum $40 order this weekend. Good luck on scoring one of these, as the people who want these REALLY want them. Limit one copy per person, please. Happy Collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. January 8, 2016 STAR WARS: LANDO (2015) #1 SDCC DARTH VADER (2015) #7 SDCC P.S. In that same awesome carton from the convention I also found 50 copies each of The SDCC LANDO #1 variant, and the SDCC DARTH VADER #7 variant. I can offer you the same $40 minimum order requirement for a free copy on each of these, or you can request in the "notes" to receive all three SDCC variants as a bonus for placing a minimum $100 order.
