Got this as part of a $75, 120-book eBay lot win:

That's a lot of books, what other notable comics where in the lot?

Awesome 💯 

That too can be a factor.

Hard to believe if they were copper age prints that they'd still be so cheap! So thanks for the heads up!

I don't remember a lot of prints as I perused areas as a kid, rarely got to visit LCS or cons if at all. I was still aware of them though as the 90's and upward and everything became cards, prints, holograms, 3d foil and or etc

The frames add a lot of value but I'm not too willing to give into that price lol.

We're the prices the reason you passed?

No judgment, I've been in that kind of way when happening upon something. Still glad you showed the pics!

I figured that's why there are pics but no acquisitions. Always nice to see stuff in the wild, and we don't have a "things not often found in the wild" thread for copper, only modern

 

The Venus was $100, but was quoted $75 as his best price

and the Vamp was $150

Those prints are available on etsy by a DS seller for $35 free shipping if anyone is interested

If they were $50-60 each I would have been a buyer. Some of them a too big for me to lug around the fairgrounds and I also have no space where I live to hang frames

A couple DS framed art prints I found at the flea market and LA county fair recently but did not purchase

I'm sure we've all heard people say "tell everyone you know that you collect comics" - the idea being that they'll be on the lookout and send potential deals your way.

But it's never actually paid off for me much until now. Yesterday morning, my aunt apparently called my dad and told him there was a garage sale near her and they had comics, and he should check it out because "maybe Jesse would be interested" because I had talked to her about the hobby recently.

So Dad went, and he called me while he was at the garage sale, and he said, "they have a bunch of stacks of comic books here, and they're $1 each. Do you want any of these?" And he started reading off books to me on the phone.

Here's what he ultimately grabbed for me, at $1 apiece:

Excellent family teamwork!!!

The opening scene of Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted on Netflix features a Gold Key Woody Woodpecker comic

Almost 100$ for this World of Wood 1 

I doubt you will get that price sticker off without damaging the book. Also the photo in the back is taken by Mike Zeck. Is that the same comic book artist Mike Zeck?

Wow, good eye. Probably the artist we all know as Mike Zeck

Record price maybe, depends on how much discount the seller is giving  

Yeah I doubt he's shaving off thousands for a discount. Maybe make it an even $5,500 lol. Still expensive with taxes and shipping

Hey I just saw this, I bought my copy from you. 

I have a copy of this promo poster also

A new record price. Last was $2,728 back in June 2022

Those are nice. Soaky and Pez are a tough combination to beat for a kid of any age!

Is there a scene in that movie where SLJ's hair and beard look like that?

No, probably a publicity photo taken before or after

There are some on ebay, I think the white I was remembering is around the edges of the characters. I happened to be riding a bike with a friend by a video store, but a hole in the wall establishment and this was outside. I asked to either have it or paid $2 in 1994 or 95. They agreed, and my friend said take it but thought a minute because we were on bikes and we tried successfully.

I remember setting it up, but when we moved later in the next year or so, I might have not wanted to bring it to truly start anew. 

 

 

Yeah that is the iconic and valuable four character standee I was referring to! Very nice!

Since you hint at the point of what I need to ask? 🤔 

At what point would advertising become sought after, is it as high as 25 years or similar circumstances to even pinpoint? Would do wonders sometimes, as I know there are pivotal ones and etc .

I think it was this thread or another with the coca cola Marvel....

Closest I had was a pulp fiction standee, a big one that I got as a kid from a video store. Not sure if blockbuster but I don't think so, anyway it was people size and had all the main characters. I haven't thought about that in ages 😂 

Even advertising from the 2000s is sought after by me. I would say it’s the quality that matters most. There could be quality output at anytime. Nostalgia varies from person to person. A Pulp Fiction standee sounds awesome. Is that a single character or four character standee? I would love a reprint poster at least. There’s an iconic movie scene where a Pulp standee becomes pulp in Grosse Pointe Blank

Huzzah for garage sale season! There's a father and son who do a regular garage sale every Saturday from around Derby until October, and today was the first sale of the year. Nice guys and they always have interesting stuff. Picked up some great old store display pieces today. I've been looking for this Spider-Man sign for a bit, and this thing is cherry, even came in the original plastic sleeve (though opened). Also picked up the DKR display at a great price, and this X-Men Mutant Gear hanger which I've actually never seen before. Not sure where I'm going to put it!

Nice pieces of comic advertising history!

Had a seller send me an offer @ 50% off . $42 down to $21. (Plus $12 shipping) I accepted and paid. Shortly after I get a message asking if I could send them a picture or copy of the offer. They said they never sent it and were trying to contact ebay to figure out why/how this happened.  Just told them to cancel. 

Seems like an honest mistake by the seller
