Or, my annual trip to Golden Age Collectables

Once, when I was a teen it was the only local shop that carried old comics, and in my pea-brained teen mind that had to be good, they had a full page advertisement in the the Comic Book Price Guide, which I believed to be cannon back then...

I purchased many books from them over the years as a late teen and into my early twenties. Many of which I read once and put away. A reveiew of these cherished treasures revealed a number of books that I wouldn't waste my time or money slabbing, mostly mid grade books with poor centering and other issues.

But every year on Black Friday I still wander through Pike Place Market and I take a moment to see what's in the display case at GAC. Last year it was a slabbed, mid grade, restored copy of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen - some early issue, but not issue #1.

This year, I'll try to remember exactly what their prize issue is and post it later.

I hope everyone has enjoys today whatever their rituals, I'm going to ho enjoy Seattle and her weirdness with my wife.

Happy Hunting!
