    This morning I happened upon a very nice shop at a flea market that I don't frequent too often. I spotted a cobweb crusted container of old gumball prizes tucked away in a far corner. After asking if I could poke around in it... I found the wolf man pencil topper way down at the bottom. I then asked the shopkeeper if he had any old monster premiums... After rooting around a bit he dug out a small cigar box and BAM! There it was, an old monster flicker ring 1 buck for the ring and he threw in the pencil topper for free!!! It's getting harder and harder to find great deals on treasures like these in the wild. All in all, a monster of a find AND I made a new friend too! (thumbs u

    Beautiful book! It looks great slabbed side by side with the certificate!

    My Pez book lists the Creature for $300-$375. I believe that is an "old school" book price. I believe $175-$200 is more like it. Add 30% more for the cardboard base. (or sell it seperately). I haven't looked on Flea Bay so I might be way off. I'm sure some have sold. That will give you current "market" price. He is the one everybody wants. Either way, great find! Wow... I'm shocked. This ghoulish fella will stay in my PC as I originally planned... However, when the time comes to sell... I'm now educated on how rare of a collectible it is. Thank you for the wealth of information! It's moments like this....The thrill of the hunt and never knowing what you will find that keep me going to flea markets and yard sales (thumbs u

    After some internet research...That's what I'm begining to see as well... Looks like it's an "Austria No Feet" PEZ dispenser who would have thought

    Well... It's been bone dry picking down here for me these past few weeks... Ever since the northerners packed up and headed back home... Picked these up for a buck a piece... Now this... This was one of those impulse buys... I don't collect PEZ... And I know nothing about them... However... Vintage horror memorabilia... YES! I saw this piece and immediately fell in love with it Creepy black faced Creature From The Black Lagoon in a weird paper costume for $10 sure! Why not? I have no idea how collectible these pieces are

    Today I went to 2 flea markets and 1 prison auction... Zero. Zilch. Nada. It was fun to lurk around in an old dilapidated prison though... On the way home I popped in an antique store just before closing... Under a pile of crusty books was this... I literally had to knock the dust off of it after I dug it out! Tomorrow is another day (thumbs u

    I agree. At one point I would have agreed that 800 bucks was normal... Then I found out that they were being sold for as low as $300... I'm lying in wait

    Seller just confirmed via email that the reserve is set at $799.99
  19. Count Zero
    I have a creeping suspicion that the reserve on this book is silly.... I didn't notice a reserve on it the first go around...
  20. Count Zero
    Sooo... Looks like the seller backed out of original transaction with the buyer can't tell for certain... Now relisted it with a reserve... It didn't make the reserve... Looks like it topped out at $456 this time around...

    I'm not clear on what "finger bends" are... This book was noted as having "left bottom back cover finger bends"
