The transformative world of US Comics, brought to you by Tim Plumbe
I get to work within a hobby that I love, connecting with fellow collectors around the world. No two days are the same.
With many, many hours spent in his local comic books shop as a young boy, Tim has been a fan of the genre for as long as he can remember. He’s passionate about collecting vintage comic books in particular, with a special shelf reserved for his favourite Spider-Man. When he discovered his passion could spill into adulthood and even a career, he cast his web wide. Tim has been collecting comic books for 35 years now. With his celebrated UK-based business Hobgoblins Hideaway, he’s been professionally dealing comics for over a decade, parallel to working as a CBCS facilitator for over seven years. Specialising in the ever-changing world of US comics, he enjoys how new films and TV shows can catapult obscure titles and characters into the limelight, bringing new audiences to the hobby and keeping the industry fresh and vibrant. Tim originally joined Catawiki as a seller, and organically evolved into sharing his expertise with a wider audience of buyers and sellers. His background in sales and customer support serves him in building relationships and understanding the true value of collectables – sharing his knowledge through exciting auctions loved by many.
