🎙️ Bodnar’s Bids and Banter Podcast - Episode 13: Comic Book Mayhem, Auction Drama & Zapcic Returns

Mike Zapcic is back! The comic book guru and Comic Book Men fan favorite joins Joe and Maureen for an hour of pure pop culture auction chaos. From Avengers #151 to a massive multi-day comic sale, this episode dives deep into collecting, nostalgia, and even a moment when Joe and Maureen told each other to go f* themselves**—and why it actually saved the auction.

Mike also shares how he cut up comic ads as a kid, why encyclopedias still matter, and what it was like growing up with six older brothers and a mountain of broken toys.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• The upcoming two-part auction with 144+ long boxes of comics

• Why Avengers #151 “punched Mike in the face” (in a good way)

• Auction pickup horror stories—from squatters to drunks and angry landlords

• Eleanor Roosevelt letters, vintage telephones, and pristine matchbox cars

• Why hardcover comics are underrated—and also great to drum on 🥁
