good times, and the rap at the end of TMNT #1  I remember recording on tape and listening to in class, thinking I was so cool playing some b-ball outside of the school 

I know.. Right?  Plus figured this would fit perfectly on topic...

Speaking of that anyone got a Vanilla Ice CGC SS TMNT ?

Believe it or not I'm walking on air I'dhave done that and subbed it if I'd known how renowned it would be....

It always turns out to be the things we never think will be popular , end up being popular..

Many moons ago there was a thread here that had examples of all kinds of slab debris.  I believe one slab actually had a dead bug in it 

I think I saw that one in the worst Stan Lee CGC SS post..

Past tense to Tense Suspense

And one to grow on...

Just posted some in my " Like my Father Before Me" post. 

Funny you bring up magazines. When searching for the comics that's mostly what I found was magazines. They included Popular Mechanics, Model Railroads, Almost every National Geographic, Adult titles including early Playboy, his Roy Rogers Lunchbox , and these

Had this signed by Martin Powell and Daerick Gross at a small shop in Ohio 1992  a few days before I met Jerry Siegel ( who was my second signature) Just a few months after Joe Shuster had passed. After talking with Jerry that's what sparked my love of Superman.

Are those the only one's he saved?

So far it is all I have been able to track down. I know there are more. Although a lot were missing the covers. Have found some just by hunting through old photos and seeing them and asking family members about them. Still hope more turn up. My own personal scavenger hunt.

Thank you. I knew they didn't mean a lot to most of the family. To me it was a reminder of what got me into collecting. Added value that these were books he went to the local five and dime, bought , read , & enjoyed.

So this is a  musical we're watching?

For me this one is bitter sweet. The one that stands out most to me I let go and have been hoping to track another down. It was a printers proof  ( only 50 )

It's getting to the point where they need to require a hair net in the encapsulation room.

Thank you . I will reach out. Not holding a grudge. Was kind of surprised. It was the first I had seen. And  interesting enough this book had a lot of Newton Rings except where that hair is, but now that you brought it up. The new look in the grading room.
