Has anyone ever bought anything from the Cards One website? They sell mostly comics and cards, plus some other stuff. They have a comic book collector club and also sell comics by the pound. I'm a little intrigued.

Just went and checked them out. 4.99 for 5 pounds of comics sounds good until you see they charge 8-10 bucks to ship them. If you get 50 pounds for 34.99 it will cost you 38 bucks to ship. No thanks.
If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail.

I usually estimate it at 8 comics per pound (w/bag and board) taking into account double sized issues, etc. Also, older comics usually weigh a little less than modern ones because of the better paper quality that is used today. I can easily lift a long box of Bronze comics over my head while that same box filled with newer books is HEAVY!
I am proud to Announce that I now have 500+ Hero Ratings!!! Thanks to all of my Amazing Customers! Big things are in store for Hall of Heroes this year. It is my personal goal to add a long box a week to my Inventory starting in April, 2014.

Nice!, I would probably work out more if I could find a way to make it involve comics, lol
