Azrael reading Daily Bugle newspaper
Business World just published online in their website a Year Ender Report for 2008, and one of their topic is about collectibles, the article "Cashing in with Collectibles" written by Jo Poblete, features collectors and business owners for collectibles, one of the featured person is me about comics collecting and my comments on having a business for collectibles.
Azrael Coladilla, a locally based comic book collector, started collecting in 1993 as a high school student. His early batch of collectibles he deems very valuable as the stock is no longer available today. He estimates that his current stash would be valued around P100,000. He tried trading and selling some of his acquisitions, sometimes doubling the price of the item, and set up shop with a few friends that stayed open for four years. Nowadays he would rather focus on collecting than making a business of the hobby, although he occasionally still organizes comic book conventions, among other events.
