I also got the Popeye one but forgot it in the photo. There is a list on line. My store gets them all but orders less of the ones they think people don’t want. My store is great. Within reason you can get one of anything you want. I always buy some stuff. This time a bunch of supplies on sale. I must have somehow missed Godzilla. It was a little crazy.

Took my 2 grandaughters. They had a blast. They are pouring over their stash now. Did you miss the Atlas one? I didn’t see the Godzilla at my store. Here is what I snagged…

Sad News - R.I.P. Richard Olson - Yellow Kid
Robot Man replied to 50YrsCollctngCmcs's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
As a kid, we got back issues by trading with our friends. Money was almost never exchanged. But comics had value. You had to trade several Harvey’s or Charltons to get a Spiderman or Batman. They were all basically worthless but popularity held the cards. A lot of times older kids would give us their comics. My uncle gave me his ECs. Me and my brother would pull our wagon down the streets ringing doorbells and asking for them. They would often be given to us for the asking or in exchange for cutting lawns. There were no comic stores but we got adept at hitting used book stores for nickle priced comics. The same with garage sales and later flea markets. Then came mail order and early small comic shows and the floodgates opened. And with that prices started to rise. The rest is history… -
Love the later Lubbers Wings issues. My favorite part of the run. Turned a lot of average war covers into va va voom!

Bailey really ran the gamut genre wise. Personally, I prefer his horror and More Fun work. Yes, I am a sicko. But his romance stuff is also pretty unique. You just know who did it at a glance.

The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror

Cheating again. Just got my first CGC pulp submission. Does it really matter in a slab? What would this go for if it were a comic? Last Green Lama issue. -
It would be Criminal not to show your CRIME comics!
Robot Man replied to Robot Man's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Cheating a bit here. This isn’t a comic. But very cool none the less. Paid $10. What would this go for if it were a comic? Never thought I would say this. But after over 50 years collecting comics, I either have, or have had, or not going to get the rest of what I still want. Seems like I have pretty much seen everything and am mostly just upgrading books now. Yeah, I still seek out some stuff and buy them when I see them. But my comic buying has slowed down considerably. I have always bought pulps when I ran into them, but was never a big focus. There are SO many great ones and they have really ignited that spirit “of discovery” in me again. They have brought me back to the days in comics when everything was new. At the end of the day, comics and pulps are really the same to cover collectors especially in a slab. -

Nice! There seem to be a good amount of devil covers out there to hunt down. A recent pickup got me. That darn devil always seems to be smiling… -

CGC graded Pulps - my first experience and results.
Robot Man replied to Hibou's topic in Pulp Magazines
Got my second submission. Very happy with it. Also came back a bit better than I expected. Got it from Dave Smith years ago. My best grade Yakima. How often do you see white pages on a pulp? This one also moves around in the slab due to the thickness. I contacted CGC and they noted that the process is new and they are working out the kinks. I suggested putting the thinner ones in a comic slab. -

An early photo of Leonard Brown with a recent “buy”. Yes, people coveted and paid up for Big Little Book back then. A photo of Malcolm Willitts pulling out unbagged, high grade Batmans out of the vault. Collectors was located in an out of business bank building. And a business card circa 1962 for Richard and Leonard before they opened the store and were combing the Long Beach area buying up old comics and selling them word of mouth. I got the card from Leonard. Notice he crossed out Richard’s info so I would deal directly with him.
