Comic Culture Christopher Owen and Walter Durajlija

This week Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija try and help you understand the discipline of assigning comic books grades. They also explore the world of pressing comic books, cleaning them and even unrestoring them.



The boys discuss how small grade increments can create scarcity in supply that often leads to really strong results in the marketplace.

P.S. We forgot to mention during the show that in next week's show we'll be reading Valentine's Day poems as delivered by your favourite superheroes.

Chris and Walt pulled the classic bone head move and forgot it was Valentine's Day, so they are posting the Valentine's show a couple of day's late.



At the beginning the discussion is around Romance Comics and how cool a genre it is. Then the boys get into the reading of the poems, listen if you dare. As a bonus the boys get a call from their world famous producer, Shekky Feldstein.



Please leave your thoughts down in the comments field.

This week Chris and Walt discuss something worth a closer look, how to sell your comics. There are many ways to go about it and the boys examine some of the pros and cons of a varying number of selling options.



Please feel free to add some insights, tips you think might be helpful to people looking to sell their comics.



As always comments on the show are welcome, let us know what you thought.

This week Chris and Walt dig deep to get to the bottom of the "what's the real first appearance" debate. Word on the street is they fail miserably but we'll let you be the judge.



If you have any insights feel free to share with the rest of us, this is a complex topic and one that often contradicts itself, any input would be valued.



Please let us know what you thought of the show in the comments field below.

This week Chris and Walt delve into the new and developing world of virtual collecting, block chain collecting and even fractional ownership of collectibles like comics, sports cards and more.



Since we recorded this there was a 10 second video that was made as a piece of art that sold for $6.6 million, no tangible asset but a virtual one.



Is anybody participating in this new and developing marketplace?



As always let us know what you thought of the show.

This week Chris and Walt dive into the brave new world of fractional ownership of comics and collectibles. This is not a discussion on Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) which was discussed on an earlier show, this is partially owning a tangible item that exists somewhere in somebody's basement or stock room or safe.



We end up taking the concept to unexpected places so listen up.



As always we encourage you to share your thoughts on the subject matter or on the show itself, please feel free to leave comments down in the comments field.
