About Collector Cartel
Exclusive comics. CGC keys. Creator access. Member perks.
Collector Cartel™ is a UK comic collecting platform created by
Redsters Comics
and
Bear Maximum,
built for collectors who want deeper access to the hobby.
Who We Are
Collector Cartel™ brings together exclusive comic drops, CGC graded books, original art, signing opportunities, creator projects, collector services and memberships under one roof.
We are not a standard comic shop. We are a collector-first hub built around access, trust, strong books, sharp services and the thrill of the hunt.
Led by our mascot Stacks, the Cartel is built on passion, straight talk and a love for comics that goes beyond the checkout page.
Built By Collectors
Two UK comic businesses. One shared mission: better drops, better access and a stronger collecting experience.
Founding Partner
Redsters Comics
Redsters Comics brings the retail firepower: CGC slabs, vintage keys, modern variants, exclusives, comic supplies, secure packaging and live-selling experience.
This is the shop-side engine of the Cartel, focused on strong stock, trusted service and books with real collector relevance.
Founding Partner
Bear Maximum
Bear Maximum brings the services and creator-access side: CGC grading support, cleaning and pressing, signature capture, original art, commissions and artist-led opportunities.
It gives collectors more ways to upgrade, personalise and protect the books they care about.
Why We Formed Collector Cartel
The hobby needed a sharper hub: one place for exclusive comics, graded keys, artist access, memberships, signing opportunities and collector services.
Redsters Comics and Bear Maximum formed Collector Cartel to connect comic retail, creator projects, grading, art and community into one collector-focused platform.
Collector Cartel in the wild: exclusive comics, slabs, original art and collector culture brought directly to the convention floor.
