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

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

The Holy Grail of most Creature collectors though is the Bally pinball machine:

I play it every chance I get at a local barcade called EightyTwo

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
