Grail Hunters Comics Podcast S03E04 - With Special Guest Scott Liston

 

Ben and Nev are joined by a special guest, Scott Liston! Scott's been part of the comic collecting community for years, and a card punching Grail Hunters member since day one. Scott also happens to be Event Director of Supanova! Also, he needs to add to his business card "Hell'a funny guy".

 

Comic Collections, Community Spirit, Investing in books, Supanova events, and more NFT's and Poohing on Planes than you can shake a stick at - just a taster of what lies ahead.

 

It was destined that we were to start with a debrief of poohing on planes, but rest assured we quickly jump onto other unsavoury discussions! 

 

We chat about how the local community have grown, and how online networking has encouraged us hermit collectors to get out and meet each other face to face. We chat about how and where NFT's fit in in the collecting landscape and try to explain to Old Man Liston how to go about buying his own.

 

After this we move onto 'timing' on buying books for Investments, or rather when not to buy. Current hot books and trends, and investments on the horizon.

 

Scott provides us a quick rundown of the favourite books in his collection, and how he came about some of them. We spitball about the future of "Nev and Benny's" Collectable shop and what we'd be selling.

 

After this we jump right into Supanova! How Scott got involved in pop culture events (and met his wife!), and how the event calendar evolved over the years. We talk about how Covid's impacted events around the country in the past 2 years, and how Brisbane in two weeks will be the first step back to normality for local events. We speculate HARD about future guests, but you'll have to listen to the episode t to find out if we could crack Scott!
