About
From the trading floor to trading collectibles — decades of experience in the art of the deal.
I'M HERE TO TRADE.
I cut my teeth on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange — colored jacket, hand signals, and the kind of pressure that teaches you to read a room in two seconds flat.
Off the floor, I was hunting flea markets and back-issue bins for the stuff nobody else wanted: underground comix, redline Hot Wheels, original ink, weirdo ephemera.
Decades later, the archive is real. And it's open for business.
The Long Hustle
1978
First underground comix purchased — never looked back.
1985
Trading floor at CBOE. Hustle, instinct, ink-stained hands.
1996
Collection outgrows the apartment. The archive begins.
2010
Started commissioning original art from Jim Mitchell & friends.
TODAY
Buying. Selling. Trading. Same fire, more mileage.
The Collector's Code
RAW & REAL
No corporate gloss. No sanitized history. The good, the weird, the uncensored.
COLLECTOR FIRST
Built by a collector, for collectors. We know what matters because we hunt for it too.
FAIR TRADES
Buy. Sell. Trade. Always at a fair shake — that's the floor-trader code.
Inside The Vault
Thousands of pieces. Underground comix, graded keys, original art, redlines, concert posters, and the occasional piece of forbidden weirdness.
