Here's a thought provoking comment by Ryan Dancey from Games Quarterly Magazine Spring 2006:

What contributions has our industry made to society at large?

We have created a training ground for heroes.

People scoff at that idea, but in an era where violent videogames are blamed for misbehavior, rock music is blamed for misbehavior, celebrity excess is blamed for misbehavior, etc. etc. etc., why can't we credit those parts of our culture that reward heroism, teamwork, honor, courage, friendship, and self-sacrifice for instilling positive virtues in our kids

Here's a happy customer with a very cool Triple Threads autograph card.

On Feb 8, 08, Josh Walker pulled a Joe Montana/Peyton Manning/Steve Young triple autograph card at the Dimond Center BOSCO'S.

That's why you ought to shop at your local Home Team Advantage shop!

.
BOSCO'S is an Upper Deck "Preferred Redemption Center." We are authorized by Upper Deck to help you handle your redemptions with an exceptional level of service.

The biggest benefit to redeeming your cards through a preferred redemption center is that we'll be initiating the first phase of the new Upper Deck 45 day turnaround on redemptions.

If you redeem your cards through a preferred redemption center, after the card has been in the system for 45 days and has not been fulfilled then you will be able to request an exchange.

SLABBED COMICS SELL FOR MORE! WAY MORE!
Check out any page from the Comic Buyer's Guide Price Guide. See that column labeled "Slabbed?" That refers to comics that are graded by a nationally recognized comic grading company and sealed in a sturdy plastic holder (That's the "slab."). Look at how the same comic, in the same grade, sells for about 4 times as much after grading!!! Investors are more comfortable with a graded comic so it is worth more!

Get your Comics Graded by CCG! BOSCO'S is now an affiliate for CGC's comic grading services. Having your comics professionally graded by CGC can greatly enhance their value. Stop by BOSCO'S in Spenard for details.

Here's most of our happy staff in June of 2005 holding up the original sign calling for customers in 1985!! It was just comics then. Now, it's not just comics, BOSCO'S has it all!

BOSCO'S "Comic Order Guy" Jared J. is one of Alaska's premier dodgeball players!
Take a look at www.akdodgeball.com

Here's Comic Order Guy Jared with Famous Comic Writer Greg Rucka.

So who is more important in the comic book cycle? The writer? The artist/inker? The colorer? Or the guys who make the decision on which comics make it to the comic shelf? Heavy question, man. I think Jared knows.
