thepopverse.comCritical Role, Marvel Studios, & more: Reedpop & Popverse have too much cool autographed stuff, so we're selling it to you in Signature Series sale (and Popverse Superfans get first dibs!)
Over the years here at Popverse and the broader, loftier towers of ReedPop, we have accumulated a lot of cool stuff. Between us, our friends in the Events Talent department, and our colleagues at Signet Collectibles, we have nearly 10 years of convention history stored away, and we don't want to keep it all to ourselves, despite how cool it would look in our offices and studio space.
This month, ReedPop and Signet Collectibles are doing a special sale of almost a decade's worth of signed 8x10 headshots, posters, Funko Pops, and other weird (and cool) collector finds from over a dozen shows, including New York Comic Con, Emerald City Comic Con, C2E2, Florida Supercon, and more. From near-mint to battle-tested, each item is authentic and signed in person at our events, given to us, and hopefully, now given to you.
Before this sale opens up to everyone, though, Popverse Superfans will get 24-hour early access to this sale beginning today, Tuesday, May 19. Not only do our Popverse Superfans get first dibs, but we can give you 10% off all in-stock, signed inventory (not event pre-orders for future shows), and... checks notes... we can give you an additional $10 off every $100 spent beyond that.
(This is better than my employee discount on this kind of stuff!)
Current Popverse Superfans will get an email today (Tuesday, May 19), with a special link and login credentials to get your special access and discounts, and you can have at it. Everyone else will just have to wait until after Popverse Superfans get theirs.
Sign up now to become a Popverse Superfan to get in the pre-sale, as well as other perks, including first dibs on tickets to upcoming shows like NYCC, ECCC, and C2E2.
