Long Beach Island
Selling comics in Surf City
Surf City is a compact Ocean County borough on the island, with homes running from the oceanfront to the bay. Like the rest of Long Beach Island, it has a mix of full-time residents and seasonal households, and a busy summer followed by a much quieter off-season.
Older island homes in particular tend to keep things for a long time. Collections from previous generations, comics bought on boardwalk trips decades ago, or books that simply stayed when everyone else moved away are worth a conversation.
Surf City is reached from Vigilante Comics' Little Egg Harbor base by way of Manahawkin and the causeway. Next steps are coordinated directly with Evan.

Off-season clean-outs

A collection built over summers
Some collections grew a few issues at a time on vacations. Mixed eras and publishers are completely fine.

Add an approximate count for loose stacks, choose the years that fit best, and mention where in Surf City the collection is stored.
