  1. Yeah, common knowledge. Hey, whatever floats your boat as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody else. But what a couple of funky looking broads...
  2. Wow, that sure beats Bob Wood of Crime Does Not Pay fame...
  3. Picked this up at an antique shop yesterday. I knew about the Archie Club but was unaware of this teen comic book club!
  4. Stuff that just flies out of the booth. Old advertising with great color and graphics. Tins and especially signs. Universal monsters, pre-1970 Disneyland stuff, Slot Cars and Hot Wheels. Old sports memorabilia especially Baseball. Trophies, equipment, photos, toys ect. Being in CA, any vintage skateboards or surfing stuff. Classic vehicle toys. Especially motorcycles and house trailers. I am always surprised what people pick up and buy. Comic book wise, a little of everything including western and Dells. The flipper kids drift in asking for “keys” and hoping for garage sale prices. But a lot of people just looking for readers from their youth. I don’t usually bring much if any in the way of big keys or nice GA unless someone I think might actually buy it asks me. I sell a lot of affordable comics, MADS and pulps. Me and my partner are usually the only ones to have any of this stuff out there. Most of my customers are mostly looking for the other stuff so that is primarily what I bring.
  5. Nice Gino! Funny about books like this. Some are so tough that a lot of us lust over “a mere 3.0”... Yours presents very well. Congrats!
  6. Where were you man? Ron kept looking up and down the isle for you...
  7. OK, you did say Comedy... I know quite a few folks looking for stuff like this one.
  8. I like this particular book. The GGA is awsome, the horror conotation is wild. The Zodiac angle doesn't even figure into the equation as why I would like to have one. But, due to the hype, I will probably have to "get lucky" now.
  9. Those Tim Holts are all "horrorable"...
  10. Assembled by a guy that was accused later in life of being a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest. Google it...
  11. The Green River SA collection has a similar connotation to me. I don’t own any...
  12. Wow, great story! We should all be so lucky... That Corgi Mini Cooper Countryman Surfer vehicle is off the hook! I have never seen one. It wouldn't be leaving my junk house if I turned up one. Would bring BIG bucks I would imagine here in SO CA. I have had a lot of Corgis, Dinkys and Matchbox vehicles over the years. Most I have parted with but I doe still have a fair amount of them. Many years ago, I went to a closing on a toy store in Pasadena, CA. They had lots of back stock they were blowing out rel cheap. I picked up a few Batman cars, A Green Hornet Black Beauty, A Monkees car and several others all boxed and old store stock. I think this is the last one I hung on to.
  13. If you are talking Hitler covers (this is the Hitler thread), they seem to have been pretty well defined and accounted for. If you are talking WWII covers in general, good luck. That spans a TON of books in all genres. I don't even think one could use the Gerber book and count because there are so many not in there. Most people concentrate on the superhero ones, but it seems like all genres had them. It's a task, I wouldn't want to take on...
  14. And then there is this mail away premium from Tip Top Comics circa late '30's. Same character?
