Historically, in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, was a legendary hub for collectors of all kinds, including rare and vintage comic books. Before its closure in 2018, it was known as "The Sale" and housed numerous vendors selling everything from fresh produce to high-value Action Comics #1 and other collectibles.
