Cool stuff Jeff. Keep those old pics coming

There are newsstand pictures with news or political magazines but I don't find them to be interesting. Russian magazines and communist propaganda in a New York City newsstand in 1937. Here is a reason why I find newsstand photos with comics to be fascinating. These 2 photos were taken by Marjory Collins of 2 workers looking at newspapers while waiting for a trolley after work in Baltimore Maryland in April 1943. Look closely and see there are 7 different comics in the photos and one of them is Gift Comics #3. Gift #3 is a 324 page squarebound of different Fawcett titles printed at the same time as the individual original comics bound inside. So based on the appearance of the other comics and the April 1943 issue of Esquire magazine pictured, here is evidence that Gift #3 was published in 1943 and not in 1949 as indicated in the Overstreet guide and the Grand Comics Database. You read it here first. Notice the Hi Ho Inn restaurant/bar sign over the worker's shoulder. The Hi Ho restaurant was located on 308 East Baltimore so these pictures were taken at the corner of East Baltimore St and North Holliday St in downtown Baltimore. matchbook covers from the HI Ho Inn Can you identify the other 6 comics? Answers in a couple days unless people figure them out before then. batman 17 and Tec 75 , all flash 10, More Fun 91, whiz 53....should be a cap 26 and USA 8 too

Here are my favorites. All items were originally mine as a kid except the Spidey mego, which I never owned. Some items are original and some re purchased after they were thrown out many years ago. Enjoy! Left to right: Superman Movie puzzle, 1978. (Original) Superman ring, 1976 (original--I lost this ring about 2-3x in a field at school; finally held on to it) Superman button, 1976 (original) Darth Vadar carrying case, 1980 (re-bought) Darth Vadar figure, 1980 (toy is sealed in bubble but the original card was removed oddly so I used a 2010 SDCC retro card instead) Stan Lees Marvel Fun book , 1979 (original and I didn't complete all the games) Marvel pocket books (FF 1-6 reprints and ASM 14-20 reprints)---hooked me on vintage comics. Marvel Super heroes lunch pail, 1976. Thermos inside is original but the lunch pail was re purchased. Spiderman backpack, 1979. (My original bag from 1st/2nd grade) Shogun Warriors Godzillas, 1977. (Both re bought) Spidey/hulk dinner trays, 1979. Both my originals. Spidey mego, 1979. This is the only item in the pic I never owned as a kid

let's consult an Overstreet advisor on that one

I'm guessing its slang for getting the attention or not an offensive offer

I am guessing CGC blue 1.0. Although, he's hoping for a 2.0. Did you see the BC Rick? Brian said it looked pretty close to FC.

Congrats DK! What an outstanding copy! Is it restored at all? Yep completely unrestored Fantastic book DK. I really wish mine was raw so I could flip thru it. You lucky dog. Double thumbs up! (thumbs u (thumbs u Oh man when I was flipping through the pages, I had this kiddie feeling in my gut.. The interior panels look exactly like an Action 1 for the most part.. supe 1 does reprint the supe stories from actions 1-4

you are in unchartered territory (thumbs u

not sure of GPA but FMV is about $1500 a point low grade so a 1.5 would be $2000-$2250 pending eye appeal, PQ, chipping, etc

Will the new OSPG this month have anything significant to look forward to reading?

very nice Ray. Might be the near most complete joker cover collection in town. Ben, I am still looking for three Tec 114, 124, and 193. I am uncertain about Batman 49, since the character is a Joker Doppelgänger. Of course, I am a cheapskate, picking quantity over quality. I am certain some clandestine guy has a complete set of Bat and Tec books in the Bay Area. Ray start a new thread titled "joker cover group shots"

very nice Ray. Might be the near most complete joker cover collection in town.

very surprised you haven't landed one!

You sold the 3.5 I believe? At least you have the 4.0 (thumbs u correct... this is the nicest supes 1 I ever owned (bought from our own action1kid).... only sold it, because at time I was going after the action 1 6.0 CC auctioned and I needed to capitalize...wish I had it back nice, tight, bright of a FN.
