What posters do you favor? As I replied earlier, I used to hunt cheesy 50's sci-fi and gga, but have no where near enough room to hang them, so I haven't gotten any for years. Hanging in my stairway are Daddy=O, Girls in the Night, and Juvenile Jungle.

No fuzzy hair yet - nice. I had several memorable sets, but I think the Training Center was my favorite. Early on, I had the Five Star Jeep, but unfortunately so did my brother, which led directly to far too many demolition derbys. The big yellow command center was cool too, as was the amphibious vehicle (mummy's tomb?).

That Lost in Space disc is a keeper. I can just see it now - Dr. Smith coaxing Will into exploring some cave against his and the Robot's better judgment, tinkering with some alien machine and getting into trouble, and then Zorro - errr, Guy Williams - having to save the day!

A few random movie poster inserts:

Super impressive!! I am really floored by this puzzle. Supes means business and the expressions on those thugs are priceless.

What sort of movie posters do you collect? I have a slew of one-sheets, mostly B movies, and most from the 50's. A few examples off the top of my head include Girls in the Night, Juvenile Jungle, Daddy-O, Magnetic Monster and Zombies of the Stratosphere. I wish I had acquired more Reynold Brown before the book came out. Those are my favorite!

These totally bring back memories! I had a few of the ones you posted, but not on the cards! Bravo. I remember seeing Prudhomme race when I was a kid. The track where we would go most of the time is long gone and there are big $$$ homes there. Can't help but think there's more than one old car battery and some tranny oil under a few of those mansions. I think I still have a set of bagged Zowees, but that's about it.

Thanks, Robot Man. I'm always astounded at some of the great graphic design you can find in the wild, whether it's on an old soda bottle or a splash illustration inside a 1950's Ladies' Home Journal, sort of like this one with those perfectly pleasing music notes as a text device:

I've seen snippets here and there through various threads showcasing some of the other things boardies collect - everything from pulps and paperbacks to big little books and even cars! I'll start us off with this shot of the junque I picked up at one of the spring shows. As you can see, I'm a little broad in my collecting interests. I like toys and board games, cigar boxes and coffee cans, and magazines and other paper collectibles. Pretty much anything with interesting graphics. The Bunk magazine pictured was published by Clayton, a highly regarded publisher of early pulps. I had never seen one before, nor the Clinical Medicine magazine to the right. I'd love to see any new arrivals on your part, or whatever you choose to share from your collections!

I got these western pulps as a lot recently at an antique mall. They were stacked in the bottom of a showcase and priced around $50 for all of them. I was pleased to see so many Texas Rangers together like that.

They sure do, and this one is a great example of that! Almost any of the shudders, in fact.

All these books were part of an OO collection I got years ago. I've scanned a bunch of them individually, and some I recently pulled out of the boxes that I brought them home. The books were well read and many of them were lower grade copies so naturally I culled the better ones in stages and left the marginal stuff in the boxes. It's always fun to go diving into your own boxes of unsorted stuff that you almost forgot about! p.s. Whenever I see a group shot, I almost always pick my favorites as if I was allowed to take home one per row, or one of four as in the old Overstreet color sections where I honed my skills at this game as a kid. So if you see anything interesting, tell us which one(s) you would pick and why.

I toggle the signatures on and off just to see what cool new stuff people are showing off, but it's an easier browsing experience with them turned off.

Some might not know, surprisingly enough. The seller even has a couple others from that series listed including the Flash Comics 1 reprint (which I don't think had the reprinted glossy cover) and the Whiz Comics 2(1) without the tagline "Gangway for Captain Marvel" on the bottom.

Definite reprint. Famous First Edition treasury-sized from the 70's with the outer cardboard cover removed.

Yep, that scene sticks in my mind, too, along with him carrying the lead shielding - "The whole load hardly comes to ten tons." And boy did that movie have some of the best painted space backgrounds of any of the great 50's sci-fi films. Classic all-around!

HI GAtor, the other day I picked up my third copy of The Flying Marvels paper dolls and the solo version, Flying Captain Marvel. I know these are fairly plentiful, along with several others like Captain Marvel Jr's Ski Jump and Musical Evening with Hoppy, as well as a few non-Marvel Family titles like Fun Farm and Comic Capers. I had always heard that they were part of a warehouse find many years ago. Do you know anything about the backstory? How many do you guess were found of each - hundreds? Thousands? I wonder what the Flying Marvels would fetch had they NOT been found in quantity. It's a pretty cool display piece for something so widely available. Thanks!

Good grief, RM, your cup runneth over! And how many ways to Sunday can they rip off Robby? Every one you showed cooler than the next, and each with its own personality - some seem jovial, some menacing, and even a tragic or sympathetic one or two. Great stuff.

What's not to like?? Totally sweet pick up!
