Vince Russo, Boycotting my local LCS, Comics @ Barnes & Noble and Eaglemoss Marvel Chess

 Hey everybody, sorry for the delay but I'm back now and thanks for stopping by for another update from Collect The UNcollected.

Today I get a little bit more back to my roots and talk about collecting the very cool Marvel Chess set a little bit.  I also tried to add a few pictures today too, to spice things up a big like I used to.

Don't forget to follow me on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, and FACEBOOK

TIJ, Hardcore Henry, Arby's, Loot Crate, and asshole comic shop owners taking advantage of their customers.

Happy New Comic Book day everybody.  I haven't been to the shop in 3 days and my comic shop experience absolutely sucked today which I'll get into.

The DECLINE of Selling Autographed Comic Books

Howdy everyone and thanks for checking in for another edition of Collect the UNcollected.  I hope everyone enjoyed the NYCC update and the con itself if you went.

I learned a lot this year and one thing I'm going to touch on tonight is something that has been building up over the years.

If you follow any comic book creators on Twitter, it's more than likely you have read a tweet from them where they bring up the subject of noticing an autographed comic of theirs on eBay.  It's big time frowned upon.  Comic book creators never like to see someone flip their work for a profit.  They want people to enjoy their work for what it is, not to try and make a quick buck.

New York Comic Con 2014 Saturday REVIEW

So, got there about 7am.  Line was down the block and around the corner.  It even indented by the little parking area which no one used to do so it was even farther than it seemed.  The farthest back I've ever been in line before.  Just goes to show how much the con has grown.

They opened the doors to head inside at around 8 to get in line.  One thing that was absolutely fantastic was the way lines were separated when everyone filed inside.  If you want to go to a panel, go to the left; if you want to just go inside, go to the right.  I'm not interested in wasting my entire date so I don't go to any panels.  I'm also not interested in meeting any celebrities.  Not that I'm too cool for that, it's just expensive as hell.  But it was great that I wasn't as far back in line as I originally would have been because they weeded out everyone that is in line early to attend a panel.  It is a bummer for anyone attending the con for the first time who isn't aware that's how it works but we all learn that way.

Howdy again everyone.

Quick update on my re-sell ventures.
I've sold ALMOST everything on eBay that I put out there and I didn't really learn anything I didn't already know.

The easier it is to obtain, the harder it is to resell.  My R2-Q5 and Doctor Who collectibles were extremely easy to obtain and took a while to sell.  I broke a little more than even with them.  There was a ton of these things already out there to sell so in order to have mine stand out, I had to drop the price a few dollars.  Next time, i'll be on the look out for those really hard things to grab.

One thing that I was looking to grab was the Killer Bootlegs "Ewoking Dead" collectible action figure. There was only 18 of these to give out.  I was number 20 in line.  I've seen one go for $179 on eBay.  I think it was less than $20 to purchase at NYCC.  But that goes to show you that the harder it is to grab, the better your turn around.  Just like the Walter White action figure from Breaking Bad.  They were sold out on Thursday.  Selling for double what you could purchase it for.
