Karen: A big part of being a comic book fan is collecting. We collect comics, and all the stuff associated with comics -figures, posters, toys, you name it, if it has anything to do with comics, we probably will love it, and we may buy it, depending on our income and mood. At the very least, we love to talk about buying and selling those sought-after goodies. It's not just comics either -Godzilla, Star Wars, Star Trek....well, you know how it is. We just saw David B's Cube of Wonder, Doug has been entertaining us all with his tales of selling his collection, and we've shown off acquisitions from time to time here.

The other day, we got a big surprise in the BAB mailbox when we received a missive from the casting assistant for Comic Book Men. She asked if we could help spread the word that they are looking for fans/collectors to appear on the show's upcoming fifth season. We said we might know a few people who would be interested! So check out the flyer below. But for our discussion today, do you have a Holy Grail item you'd really love to track down? Maybe something you'd get if money was no object?
