I had the privilege to attend the Calgary Entertainment Expo this past week-end as a vendor. Convention goers welcomed us with open arms and completely wiped out our entire inventory of comic wallets!

As I desperately attempt to restock the shelves at comicwallet.com don’t for one second think we’re closing up shop. For the next couple of weeks I will be selling custom made wallets including Scott Pilgrim wallets for $20. Keep checking back from time to time as items slowly start to reappear on the product listing.

If you were in attendance of the Calgary Expo I’d like to thank-you for coming out and supporting the best Ex in the West. A very special thanks goes the the organizers and volunteers. It’s because of them that I’ll be there again next year and every year after.

Durability of a Comic Wallet

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:37:16 +0000

People have been concerned about the durability of Comic Wallets and I don’t blame them. It’s hard to imagine that a wallet made out of paper (20 year old paper in some cases) can withstand the daily wear and tear we put our wallets through. I am posting this to answer for the quality of my product. I wouldn’t be selling these unless I knew that they were good enough for day to day use.

Here are a few pictures of the prototype Comic Wallet that I have been using since May of 2009. Y0u will be able to see a little bit of wear damage on the fold both top and bottom but nothing too major. You’ll also be able to see that the card slots are a bit stretched but otherwise holding up fine. Although I have refrained from doing it myself for reasons of product research wallets are easily reseal and patched with pieces of clear packing tape.

Any questions about how comic wallets are made please let me know!

I just dropped twitter user @RayDillon’s new Thor wallet in the mail. It turned out so good it was hard parting with it. His along with everyone else who either bought or won a comic wallet in this week-end were sent to the post office early this morning. This represents the first wave of shipments of comic wallets ever. In about 5 to 8 business days we should be getting a be getting a feedback and images from our brave early adopters.

Ray’s wallet will be very similar to the one pictured here. His if from a series of 8 wallets made from a single issue of The Mighty Thor number 305.
