BUILT BY COLLECTORS. FOR COLLECTORS.
What started as a Facebook group of comic obsessives became a hand-curated marketplace built around the books we actually want to own.
From a Facebook group of comic nerds.
To a real marketplace.
CBBST didn't come out of a boardroom — it came out of late-night threads about which artist's next variant was about to print. About slabs being graded right. About a community of buyers and sellers who actually knew what they were doing.
We outgrew the group. So we built a real platform — bigger inventory, better protection for high-value books, and an actual checkout experience that doesn't live inside a comment thread.
But the spirit didn't change. Every variant we list is a book we picked. Every CGC slab gets photographed by us. Every Whatnot stream is hosted by collectors, not actors.
Three things we won't compromise on.
ACTUAL CURATION
We don't list everything. We list what's worth your money. Print runs, key issues, artists who matter.
INSURED PACKAGING
Slabs get bubble wrap and rigid mailers. Raw books get bag, board, and a sturdy box. Period.
COLLECTOR-LEVEL SUPPORT
If something arrives damaged, we fix it. If a slab doesn't show up, we hunt it. No outsourced replies.
See what's on the shelf right now.
Print runs of 450 to 666 copies worldwide. CGC slabs. Original art. Live drops on Whatnot.
