Please help us help a comic shop in need!

Bulletin:

As many of you know, central Texas was hit by a very large storm system last week resulting in massive damage to many areas. In Marble Falls, TX they received nearly 20 inches of rain overnight. The rains and floods were what they were calling a 500 year event.

One of the casualties of the floods was Gameday Cards and Comics in Marble Falls. The waters came in and gutted the entire store. Much was lost, from boxes and boxes of back issues, tons of new issues, sports memorabillia, displays, supplies...nearly everything. This is the only comic shop in the area and it's loss will impact many readers and fans. This was a great place for people to hang out after school with gaming tournaments and comic trading days. Even though it's a comic shop, a lot of young people went there and it was a safe place to spend the day. Unfortunately, their insurance will not cover it since it was caused by a flood and they were not covered for that.

The store will reopen soon, but will be without any stock, supplies or fixtures for some time.

Today I am asking for all comic fans to help this great store reopen with at least something to put on sale to start generating revenue to get back on track. It is going to cost a lot of money to get back to 100% and we all know we need all the readers and comic shops we can get.

What I am asking for is for anyone who has some extra comics, trades, comic items, sports cards etc. you can do without to please donate them to Gameday. Even if it's bargain bin stuff, he can still earn something from it. I am asking for books and supplies in case anyone is uncomfortable giving cash. We would love to raise some money as well , though, so if you want to contribute that way, you can send a check or money order payable to Gameday Cards and Comics. Those of you who know me and have dealt with me know I am honest and dependable can safely donate via PayPal. Every little bit will help!

The Comics Corral and STL Comics have already committed to donate books and supplies to this awesome store in its greatest hour of need. We need your help too, though. Open up your comic boxes and unload some of those doubles or comics you won't read again. Any donation will be appreciated and will help Gameday remain a permanent fixture in Marble Falls.

Please email me at hoss@comicscorral.com if you are interested in joining this important cause. We would love to hear from you comic creators and publishers too!

Thanks for taking a look at this message and I hope to hear from you soon!

Please, pass the word around at any other boards or sites you visit too!
