Walter Durajlija has been living and breathing comics for three decades. As the owner and operator of Big B Comics, he's seen it all — the boom times, the speculation years, the renaissance of collectibles as serious investments.

But something was missing in Canada. While the US had established auction houses handling high-value collectibles, Canadian collectors were left without a dedicated home for their treasures. No auction house understood the market. No one was filling the gap.

So Walter built one. The International Collectibles Exchange was born — a Canadian auction house with the expertise, reach, and passion to serve collectors across North America.
