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.
Pull List: Aphrodite IX, Artifacts, Cyberforce, Darkness, Witchblade, Cable and X-Force, Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor

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 googled it, looks like 6-10 books per lb depending on book thickness

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!
If you shop with Hall of Heroes you can expect quality comics, great customer service, fast shipping and an open line of communication. Plus, all comics get bagged and boarded and are shipped in a sturdy cardboard box! I will now let my 400+ Hero Ratings speak for themselves. Thanks! I'm looking forward to helping you expand your own collections!

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