As Superheroes For Hospice Closes In New Jersey, Generous Benefactor Wanted

Published Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:30:02 -0600

Almost every weekend, Spiro Ballas runs a little comic sale, Superheroes For Hospice, out of Barnabas Health Hospice Center where he works in New Jersey. All of the sales go towards hospice care.

Unfortunately, Spiro is being let go after a merger with a larger hospital, VNA of Central New Jersey, and he is going to lose his job on the 31st December. This also means the sale he runs is going to get shut down.

His last contribution to the charity is the auctioning off his excess inventory he's accumulated in one lot. One buyer. For everything.

Dark Horse Comics = about 34 long comic book boxes
Epic/Marvel MAX/Ultimate Comics = about 27 long comic book boxes
Image/Top Cow = about 72 long comic book boxes
Prestige format = about 28 long comic book boxes
Various indie companies = about 136 long comic book boxes
Vertigo = about 32 long comic book boxes
Total = about 329 long comic book boxes
Plus about 55 'banker boxes' of graphic novels

Whoever places the highest bid by the end of the year, gets the lot. Those who wish to see the lot can set up an appointment for the Cedar Knolls warehouse in which they are stored.
