Robot Man

Jeeze! "Awww come on, you're killing me smalls" I'm just gonna take my ball and go home! Please don't put up a Torch and Subby run my heart might not be able to take it.

Two minutes later a kid with a tricycle runs thru the room, followed by 3 large dogs!!

 

nope, that happened with these.

 

Wow, somebody always has to come in and put us in our place... And was just wanting the #31, All kidding aside a remarkable feat to have complete runs of titles like that! Shows real dedication. I'm afraid the Cap ship has sailed for me. I probably couldn't afford a low grade run that large. At least I can see them here and dream!

cap run is a great one, fersure.

 

Hi Weird Paper, welcome to the party! Now that's what I'm talking about! Great stuff. Your Buck Rogers ship puts mine to shame but hey, I got one. I love the boxed toys. Sooo hard to find the boxes. I got a lot of that stuff but a lot I don't have either. Nice mix. I have very little original art. Just a few pieces I've managed to luck into over the years. I remeber a comic shop by me had probably 30 framed Jack Kirby covers up on their walls for $150. each I stupidly didn't buy any... This was back in the late '70's.

Keep 'em coming and if any of the rest of you folks wanna put some stuff here feel free!

 

Don't have to ask me twice. (Not that you asked me once ) My comic collecting focus has completely shifted from comics to original art, but I still got me toys and oddball character collectibles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That' soon cool! Never seen that one before. Gotta go on my short list!

This one goes back to Feb 1934 love the early robot,

Yeah, guilty as charged. Oh, I remember you... You were that whiney, guide waving Baker collector! Best deal you ever got on a Baker romance book! You also scored that cool My Romantic Adventures. Hi Brian, I think we had fun. Stop by and say Hi if you go. I promise not to bring any books that aren't for sale. JoJo will stay home in his nice warm box. And don't blow my cover. And yeah, that Green Lantern is STILL mine thank you!

Yeah, you are right but he did get quite a few DC superhero. I bought a Sensation from him a couple of weeks ago at Long Beach. I don't know what he still has but I do know he has some left. I will give him a call tomorrow and check with him. He would be about the only one who has some for sale. Joe and Bonnie are pretty cleaned out of GA.

Ooooh! Please do! I love dumpster diving and did it myself a couple of days ago with a little minor sucess. Those old fuddyduddy guys over in Gold would never do that. Just joking!

I just pulled this box out of a dumpster with a bunch of other people threw out after cleaning out a garage or shop. Box is hammered. I will post pics when I go through it.

 

I got several PM's to put these books here. They are from a wonderful collection dubbed the "Paul" collection that surfaced out in my area. I originally posted them in the Have a Cigar thread. If you go back a few pages in that thread you can read the back story. For those of you who saw it move on there's nothing to see, for those of you who haven't, enjoy! (Spoiler: There are a few more here that wern't in the other thread)

Yes, this is 1/2 of the Mighty Mouse Giants. I have since picked up the other volume from the same guy that has the other 1/2. So now, I got all the giants in 2 volumes.

How 'bout some Comic bound volumes? The Wings set I got from George Tuska and he signed it inside the front cover. It is #1-12. The Disney set is a two volume set of all the Donald Duck Barks one shots. Also got Scrooge 1-40 in two volumes from a local guy that bought them from Cherokee and had them bound. The 9 has a $6. pencil price inside the cover! I love bound volumes!

 

 

 

Are those the Paul Terry Mighty Mouse issues? I like the Robot Cover on issue 38.

 

Oddly enough your bound volume is probably equivalent to the 384 page Mighty Mouse giant issue in red. I think it contains MM 42 and 43 plus a few others.

Oh Man, Cat that is breathtaking! Everything is larger in TX! My wife would probably tell me to put it in the garage. Just kidding she is very supportative. I have a small maybe 10" tin wind-up from England Natiluas toy I was going to put up but maybe just I will substitute something else. Keep 'em coming and if any of the rest of you folks wanna put some stuff here feel free!

Bob, here's a bit more of the nostalgic stuff I've amassed. This is a real gem!

 

If you like Disney's version of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea this is the real star of the film...

 

 

 

Yeah, you lucky dog! I've gotta travel a bit to get there. Always worth it. Been to Rennigers, Black Angus ect as well as Kutztown many times. Ever come out this way? We can go to a large flea market every weekend all year round. The stuff isn't as old and historic but pleanty of what I look for. Portland Expo in OR is also great especially in July!

Maybe 3 years ago. My wife who is an antique dealer and I go the Brimfield MA week long flea market about every two years ago. Put it on your bucket list if you've never gone you won't be sorry. Those of you who have gone will vouch for this. Anyway, we usually fly into Philly a few days before and drive to Brimfield from there. Along the way, we go to Addamstown and other places. We were at Rennigers in Addamstown. The Spy Smasher, Marvel Mystery and Wonder Woman #2 were at the bottom of a pile on a guy's table. He had done a house clean out and had huge piles of paper. I got these as well as 4 BLB's and a 1942 Capt Midnight manual. I spied the Spy Smasher peeking out, then came The Marvel Mystery and then the Wonder Woman. (all same date and month). The Mickey Mouse came by chance. My wife dragged me into an antique doll shop. The lady felt sorry for me and pulled it out of a drawer and sold it to me. The other stuff was from different dealers at Brimfield. The Planet and Scoop were my favorites.

Hi Porcupine. Yeah, I will try and do the orange Felix for you. It's big about 18" tall and made of composition. I also have a similar black one and think a red one as well. I've got something even better Felix wise though that I will probably do first.

Hi Gary: Yeah, that is one of my favorite top 5 books reguardless of value. I was going thru a bad time but HAD to have it. It's in my collection for good. I've had several PMs wanting to buy it but it ain't going nowhere. I hate regrets in selling stuff. I sold a Great Comics #3 years ago and have regretted it ever since. I sold my Supe #1 and a bunch of heavy books years ago but it was to buy a house so not real sad. Besides, you can get a Supe #1 but not a book like this with the contents it has. Side note, I had it signed at bottom the the first page by Al Feldstein a couple years ago. I guess you guys might call that defaced but I love it everytime I open it!

Hi Howard. Yeah they kept finding more in other boxes. Ed never saw them. He only got one shot at them. Jim and I were the other 2 major buyers. They sold some at Glendale which is where I met them. It took me quite a while to get into the collection. They put a lot on eBay before I knew about them. Jim has been selling his part. I think he's got a decent pile left. I got a bunch of his as well. The sellers did't like giving dealer discounts (I don't blame them). I got real friendly with them and got pretty good deals. I was mostly buying the "cheap in guide" books for my self. I did'nt even look at any of the SA/BA or pulps although I did get a few good pulps. Man it was fun and nail biting. There are a couple dealers that weren't to happy at me for "holding out" but I knew the sellers didn't want to work with dealers and I didn't want to upset them.

Hi Woogieman!

Yeah, the thrill of the hunt is probably the best part. Nothing like watching the sun come up, the buzz of the show and getting stuff right out of the trucks. Not knowing what could turn up. I will refrain from saying what I paid. My wife is antique dealer so we travel all over the country. I know this is a comic board so I figure most people want to see them mostly. I do collect all kinds of stuff but will keep that for my Gold thread. Thanks for having me guys.

Bob

Oooh!! That is so cool! The others sound cool too. I would have put up with his jokes for that. Go back and get that Coke truck. It is a Steelcraft from the '30's. The bottles are easy to find...

You bet! Glad you guys enjoy this stuff. I will show some more close up shots and explain what they are as I get the time. There is actually an other ones. It is a little bigger and has a blue rim. I got one now but didn't have it when I originally took this picture.

Portland Expo Antique show about 4 years ago. Just sitting in a pile on a guy's table. I really only wanted the Young King Cole and the Hoppy but the guy made me buy them all...

Come on Mitch just give me one story like Brian did. Don't play hard to get. I know you got 'em too. You told one or two when you first came on. You can even PM me. I promise I won't tell if you don't want me to. The stuff is cool but the stories are WAY better. Don't make me ask Theo!

A question guys. If I want to reply to a post in this thread say just Brian's, how do I do it. Right now, I'm just doing at the bottom of whatever the last post is.

Again, the are not in front of me but the Popeyes are full years from 1951 and 1952 I believe. Dell file copies. I got 'em on ebay a few years back. Another bound volume ebay purchase a couple years ago a guy had bound volumes of Mighty Mouse, Terry Toons, Comedy ect. I was the high bidder on all but one I think. One had first Mighty Mouse and one had first Heckle & Jeckle. Some great covers as well. He didn't note it, but when they came they had "library" stamps inside the covers and were from the animation studios that did the cartoons. Technically Timely bound volumes.
