Enjoy!

I do apologize for everyone having to stand in line. I really was going as fast as I could.  Kind of funny breaking down the numbers. I did 253 transactions. When divided by the 9 hours I was open, it comes to a transaction every 2.13 minutes for the entire day. That’s unreal.

I heard there were hot dogs outside and there were runs to the store for more.

I saw Chad Cicconi doing sketches out of the corner of my eye a couple times, so I hope everyone got what they wanted there as well.

Crazy crazy crazy day.  Thanks to everyone who came out and to every one that helped out, as I was not much help to anyone aside from the counter. Thanks to all who dared man the grill. Apparently entertaining the griller was required at some point to receive a hot dog.

I will post pictures if anyone took any.

It absolutely amazes me that some stores don’t participate in Free Comic Book Day, or barely do. I know one store that actually closes this day and a customer was sent by the Toonseum to a downtown store only to find it closed. They then came to see me. I will always take customers other stores don’t want.

I view FCBD as a thank you to all of my customers and a welcome to new ones. Have some free books. Have a hot dog and a pop. Here’s some stuff on sale if you’re interested. Not participating seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Does it cost money? Sure. I spent over a grand on FCBD books (sadly, they’re not free to me) and it still wasn’t enough. I completely forgot about the FCBD stickers and tattoos (darn it). But I look forward to it every year. Its not often that the store is packed and there is a line at the counter for 9 hours. I may have to come up with another plan for next year.

Again, thank you to everyone who came out. It really means a lot to me.

Hopefully I will be recovered by Wednesday for Not Free Comic Book Day.

Free Hot Dogs and Pop!!! (Not really a sale item, but fun)

Free sketches from Chad Cicconi, artist on the just released Fracture TP

I will be doing raffles for some cool stuff, as well as some “Spend $25, get a free…”

What? You want more? OK:

All Avengers items – 25% Off.  See the movie, get some books!

Back Issue Temperature Sale – Whatever the temperature is at the time you check out is your discount (but I am capping the discount at 70%) – Definitely the last temperature sale until the fall.

What? You want even more? Jeez:

All Graphic Novels – Buy 2, get the 3rd free (equal or lesser value)

All Action Figures – 25% Off

You still want more? Did I mention I’m feeding you too? OK, here’s more:

All Magic the Gathering Intro Packs prior to Innistrad – $4 (that’s the price of the booster alone!)

All Yu Gi Oh! 25% Off

All Board Games – 25% Off

That’s it. I don’t have anything more. What? Just a couple more?  OK, here are my last 2:

Instead of pulling more 90s goodness from the basement to put outside for a sidewalk sale, I’m going a different way. I am going to put out all of my recent new comic overstock.  This is mostly books from the last 3 years.  LOTS of good stuff.  And its all going to be $1 each.

And because it was so popular last year, I am doing the statue sale again.  Details on that way below.

I hope that’s enough.

As always, held items and special orders are excluded.

Here are the statue sale prices:

Starting around 7:00
