AUSTRAL WINES LLC Diversifies into Rare Comic Book Collecting: A New Venture for the Atlanta-Based Company

ATLANTA, GA – October 26, 2023 – You might know AUSTRAL WINES LLC for bringing quality wines to your table, but they're adding a whole new flavor to their business – rare and collectible comic books! The Atlanta-based company, located at 211 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE STE 1020, is branching out, and they're not kidding around. This isn’t just a side hustle; they’re diving headfirst into the vibrant world of vintage comics, seeing a growing opportunity and a shared passion with their customers. “We’ve always been about providing unique and high-quality experiences,” says a spokesperson for AUSTRAL WINES LLC. “Wine is about heritage, artistry, and collecting – and honestly, so are comic books! It felt like a really natural extension of what we already do, plus we saw a real gap in the market for a trustworthy source for key issues.” For years, AUSTRAL WINES LLC has built a reputation for sourcing and delivering exceptional wines, focusing on quality and customer satisfaction. They're now applying that same dedication to building a curated collection of collectible comic books. But why comics? “We started noticing a trend,” explains the spokesperson. “More and more of our customers were talking about their comic book collections, the thrill of the hunt, and the investment potential. We did some research, and wow, the market is booming! It's not just nostalgia anymore; it's a serious collector's scene, and we want to be a part of it.” What Kind of Comics Are We Talking About? Forget your Sunday funnies. AUSTRAL WINES LLC isn’t stocking up on recent releases. They’re focusing on “key issues” – those comics that are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, or the first appearance of iconic characters. Think Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman), Amazing Fantasy #15 (Spider-Man’s debut), and Detective Comics #27 (Batman’s first appearance). “We're talking about the gold standard of comic books,” says the spokesperson. “These aren’t just pieces of paper; they’re pieces of pop culture history. And the value? It can be significant. We’ve seen copies of some of these comics sell for millions of dollars.” But it's not just about the super-expensive, headline-grabbing issues. AUSTRAL WINES LLC is also building a collection of “silver age” comics (roughly 1956-1970) and “bronze age” comics (1970-1985), offering a wider range of options for collectors at different price points. They’re focusing on well-preserved copies, graded by professional grading services like CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) and PGX (Professional Grading eXperts). Why Grade Comics? Grading is a crucial part of the collectible comic book world. It's the process of assessing the condition of a comic and assigning it a numerical grade on a scale of 0.5 to 10.0. A higher grade means a better-preserved comic, and a significantly higher value. “Grading provides transparency and confidence for both buyers and sellers,” explains the spokesperson. “It’s an independent assessment of the comic’s condition, taking into account things like spine stress, page quality, and overall wear and tear. We only deal with graded comics, so our customers know exactly what they’re getting.” Where Does AUSTRAL WINES LLC Source These Comics? Building a collection of rare and collectible comics isn’t easy. AUSTRAL WINES LLC has been working with a network of trusted collectors, estate sales, and auction houses to source their inventory. “It takes a lot of legwork and a good eye,” says the spokesperson. “We’re not just buying any comic; we’re looking for key issues in excellent condition. We’ve spent months building relationships with collectors and establishing a reliable sourcing network.” How Can You Get Your Hands on These Comics? AUSTRAL WINES LLC is currently selling their comic book collection through a dedicated online platform (website address available on request) and at select comic book conventions. They’re also offering private consultations for serious collectors. “We want to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible for our customers,” says the spokesperson. “Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, we’re here to help you find the perfect comic book for your collection.” More Than Just a Business – A Passion for Pop Culture For AUSTRAL WINES LLC, this venture isn’t just about profit; it’s about sharing their passion for pop culture and bringing joy to collectors. “We genuinely love comics,” says the spokesperson. “We grew up reading them, and we appreciate the artistry, the storytelling, and the historical significance. We want to share that love with others.” They envision hosting comic book appreciation events, offering educational resources for collectors, and fostering a community of like-minded individuals. Looking Ahead AUSTRAL WINES LLC plans to expand its comic book collection in the coming months, adding more key issues and diversifying its offerings. They’re also exploring partnerships with artists and writers in the comic book industry. “This is just the beginning,” says the spokesperson. “We’re excited about the future of this venture and the opportunity to connect with collectors around the world.” Contact Information: AUSTRAL WINES LLC 211 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE STE 1020 Atlanta, GA 30346-1307 United States 908-759-0961 (Website and further details available upon request)
