by Brendan M. Allen
“The Homer Simpson School of Business”
The Toy Experts Johnny Jimenez and Steve Johnston present the seventh installment of Who The F*#k Is Frank? Joining them to discuss comics, toys, collectibles, and all things in worlds of pop culture fandom are Co-Hosts Paul Vato (MADtv, Ted, The Big Game) and Brendan Allen of Comicon.com
Joined this week in-studio by Sly Egidio of Beantown Collectibles and Yawkey Way Report, the gang tackles Diamond Comic Distributors’ Chapter 11 filing. Key points include blunders that led to the distribution giant’s failure and what it ultimately means to shops, vendors, and consumers.
In the second segment, Chris Whitlock of Collector Archive Services joins remotely to discuss CAS’ grading services. Chris takes a deep dive into grading standards, loose figures, unique submissions (such as Paul Vato’s “screen used” peanut butter cup and toilet paper roll), and why he loves the hobby.
