PLANTSVILLE, Connecticut — October, 2026 — Good Bottle Auctions launched its Pink October  campaign. For every bottle consigned during October 2026, the company will donate $1 to the Terri  Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation (TBBCF). 

The auction house has also turned its website, GoodBottleAuctions.com, pink for the month. 

"We've gone pink for October because everyone has someone, they love whose life has been touched  by cancer: a mother, father, sister, brother, child or friend," said Robin Sousa of Good Bottle Auctions.  "So, let's get together and go pink. Our consignors already trust us with bottles they've spent years  building. This month, every one of those bottles also helps fund cancer research. We chose the Terri  Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation because it's local to us, and because it gives 100 percent of  contributions directly to research. By choosing a local partner, we can give back to the community we  live in while making a nationwide impact on finding a cure for this disease."

Growing up outside New York City, Lawrence commuted into the city with his father for early comic conventions like Creation Con, meeting comic creators and getting them to sign copies of the comics they worked on. He fondly remembers trips to New York City comic shops, making collecting c... Read More
