  3. SOLD via PM People ask me all the time... Robot Man, "How do you know so much about all these premiums, pinbacks, toys and stuff?" Well, to be honest, it's about 50 years of chasing it. But along the way this book has helped my out a lot. Hakes Guide to Character Toys This fat 940 page book documents just about every know item in this category with photos and info. Just open it to any page and dig in. Will be hard to put down and the knowledge you will get in invaluble. The prices are old school and very high but it is like the Overstreet Guide for this stuff. All organized alphabeticaly. Must have item... This is the 4th edition and has been updated a couple of times but beleive me, you wouldn't be missing much. $20. (plus either media mail or flat rate, buyer's choice)

  13. SOLD! Harvey Comics Hits #1 "Teen Age Dope Slaves" 1952 Used in Seduction of the Innocent on page 27. What can be said about this book that hasn't already been said?

  21. Got a nice pile of stuff this time. Mostly less expensive but interesting stuff. I have been lucky to find quite a bit since my last sale. In addition to comics, I will have plenty of the "other stuff" I usually mix in here. This sale will run for a few days so stay tuned... Rules: No problem children or HOS members. Postage is $6.00 each for up to two comics, very well packaged. More than that will have flat rate postage costs quoted. I will combine postage on multiple purchases. All will come with tracking. Other items will have postage quoted when I know buyer's location. I prefer to sell only to US addresses but might make an exception if I know you. PM's and offers... I am trying to sell this stuff and want to get as much listed as I can. I try to price fairly. I probably won't have a lot of time to review PMs if I want to get this stuff listed. An "I'LL TAKE IT" icon takes it first. So, keep that in mind if you want something. When I get done, I will review PMs (in order of when they came in). If you have a question (other than a lower offer) post it and I will try to answer you. I prefer checks and money orders as to not run up my PayPal tally too much but will also accept Paypal if you prefer. Returns: No hassle returns within two weeks from when tracking says it was delivered. Return postage is on you unless I make a gross error and in that case I will "man-up" and pay return postage. I don't expect any returns though as I've only had 3 or 4 in 40 years. This stuff all comes from a smoke filled, varmit infested, mouldy junk house. (Just kidding!) Here we go...
  22. New pick-up. Love this cover. Has 3 interior Kinstler stories as well!
