"I can't help but be amazed at the scope and size of this selection," said Metropolis CEO Stephen Fishler, who arranged for these books to come to market. "It is books like these that make the collecting hobby so much fun!" After consultation with the consignor, it was decided to make these books available through eBay, to reach the widest possible customer base and to introduce newer collectors to Metropolis Collectibles, the nation's largest dealer of vintage comics."
