Ssalefish GSO First Look #207 for 4.21.21
Here’s the good news: We’ve been spoiled by several fantastic new collections of everything from top-shelf, backwall silver age books to low-production fairly recent Transformers and vintage toys! We’re working as fast as we can to get them processed and put out, but make sure you’re paying special attention to the area inside and behind the counter next time you’re in! Descriptions of everything above can be found on our Instagram & Facebook pages.
Here’s the not as great news: We’ve done our best to stay ahead of the supply crunch spreading throughout the collectible community, and thankfully you’ve never had to go without current or silver age bags and boards when you needed them, or long and short boxes for less than a day. Unfortunately, the increased demand has caused our distributors to increase their wholesale prices to very close to our old retail prices, so we’ve had to go up accordingly, with new supply prices now posted at all three stores.
The current most-requested supplies that we’re still out of stock on are Comic Toploaders and Silver Age Mylites, and the new dates that those should come off backorder will be the second week of June. We know it stinks, but there’s nothing we can do for it, and it’s still better than penny sleeves and card toploaders, which are backordered in April 2022!
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, April 21st (Tuesday, April 20th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
