ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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.
