Found one!

Recent pickups from a silver age collection:

Just found AF15 and ASM 1-700 with nearly all variants.

Help! What to do with all these variants?

Friend, I grok your mouthmusic.

Have yet to see mention of Bill Everett...

Nothing beats the thrill of treasure hunting, except the score. Nice!

I tried searching the boards and did not find any specific information about this topic. I did find where Keysnruns is doing a quarterly investment meetup in Atlanta.

Suggest you go into your first meeting with your vision as a written agenda, but make a point to get group feedback to know how to adjust for subsequent meetings.

Also suggest you do most activities in your first meeting as a single group to build comfort with each other. If successful, you will need cooperating volunteers.

GLWTG!

Not my room but... happened on a store in the Akron area, "The Toys That Time Forgot." When I saw the statues, thought of this thread. Took pics as I walked around the display. Sorry for pics quality, just had my iPhone with me.

 

Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

That store looks amazing. I don't think I have ever seen that many comic statues in one place.

 

The cabinet they are sitting on is awesome as well. I'm guessing that was custom built?

Not certain, but assume it was custom built as the long sides had top-bottom comic drawers and short ends had display shelves for books and games.
