Is this totally confirmed now? Last show in VA vendors were saying they weren't sure if MD was going to allow it yet.

Let’s see that wrath in action. 

I'm gathering a select cadre of talented, likeminded people in my hidden swamp fortress to prepare our retaliation.

This show better happen or my wrath will be terrible to behold.

RE: the costs of attending - I drove down on Friday (1:30 hrs), so no accommodations needed - Friday ticket was $15 on Groupon (bought on Thursday), prepaid parking a block from convention center was $19 for 8 hours.

Lots of vendors have had both, especially Eeries in their mag boxes. I'm the wrong person to ask about grades versus prices, as I am a huge cheapskate and just hunt sub $5 mags typically.

I'll be there Friday for sure.

Baltimore CC rules - dealers bring me the sweet $1-5 dollar undergrounds no one wants that I don't have, please.

Last appearance at Baltimore Comic Con - rest in peace.

Here's my purchase and then some photos of his multi-booth shop from his online ad...

I don't think the government goes online.

I had a couple of nice purchases/messages with Howard here that got me back into collecting undergrounds - he even included a bunch of thoughtful extras in the final lot sale he had - thoughts go to his family and friends.

(May 14, 1950 - October 10, 2015)

Guest Book | Sign Guest Book | Send Private Condolences

GREBER, Howard Mark, passed away on October 10, 2015 in Sarasota.

He was the owner of Greber Appraisal of Florida. Howard was born May 14, 1950 in Philadelphia, PA and lived in the area during his youth. He graduated with a degree in physics from Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, and went on to graduate studies in astrophysics at the University of Pennsylvania. A family emergency forced him to leave his studies and take over the family’s real estate business, which he then made his career, first as a successful real estate broker in the Philadelphia area, then as a real estate appraiser in Sarasota and Manatee counties. He was also a well-known collector and dealer of baseball cards and comic books.

Howard is survived by his parents, Morris and Minnie, of Sarasota; his wife Carolyn; his daughter Amanda and son-in-law Max Rempel of Giessen, Germany; his son Philip and daughter-in-law Jessica of Bradenton; and his grandson Noah. He was pre-deceased by his brothers Alan and Glenn.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 15, 11:00 a.m. at Temple Sinai, 4631 S. Lockwood Ridge Road, Sarasota.

In lieu of flowers, please honor his memory with a contribution to the American Cancer Society, the Sarcoma Foundation of America, or ORT America.

Hebrew Memorial Funeral Services, Sarasota, is serving the family.

Wow, I am really sad - purchasing from him here really got me back into undergrounds... condolences to his friends and family.

This thread is my favorite to read on Monday -

Bone magnets to boner magnets.

NICE.

nice set of titters there

Would like to get my hands on those sweet Titters...

This is a great thread!

I’d love to contribute, but I fear I have not much fanzines in english…

 

I know for sure I have an issue of Squa Tront somewhere…

I suspect many of us would love to see foreign ones, especially some art scans and maybe a synopsis about content in English.

Amazing Spider-Man Adventure Playset (1974) by Colorforms Toys (intact). Can't imagine why they are no longer in business...

I've always wanted to come across that self-published Love & Rockets in the wild - very nice!

I like that all those magazine publishers knew their audience:

"Never finish high school, stupid? Send us money."

Once again... opinions?

I pick up those Power Record book/record combos for $1-$4 around me (south central PA).

Signed Dave Stevens prints for $200 on Fantagraphics kickstarter campaign:

This thread motivated me to go out again this weekend.

 

I was able to snag 2 hasbro star wars clone trooper helmets for $20.

 

I was shocked at how well this was made. I think I will try my hand at some bondo work and a custom paint job.

 

 

I can't let this photo pass without inquiring about the superhero frog thing on the left - what is that?

No words. None. Front cover:

Roberta Gregory went on to have some decent success in comics:

I have the Dynamite Damsels she did prior to this and the art is not good, but the storytelling ability is in evidence even then.

This is a swipe of bodybuilder Tom Platz, I think.
