Where have you found your GA treasures

[JazzMan]

I've always wondered where some of the best and treasured collections have come from. Have you ever gone to an estate sale and made a killing (no pun intended)? Or do you only buy from dealers, stores and conventions?

I've always enjoyed buying a comic in person--via at a show or at a local comic shop. But, due to the internet, most books are traded and sold via eBay, auction houses, and from dealers---all through the mail---which it's always fun getting packages on your door step

Ebay, Boards, Bedrock, Ciorac(my grail), never have found a flee market or garage sale GA treasure yet.

I have managed to get a few from BZ's basement (G-check the back window lock by the 4ft pulp rack! you might want to look into getting it fixed), Bedrocks private stock while he was outside smoking....some from Parkers dining room table (again, had to bribe his way to cute daughter to distract him)...

I was at an estate sale in NY last year....Crippin or something like that...but nothing of interest so I left empty handed...they mentioned something about funny books for a dime a piece, but I couldn't be bothered with potential drek

Couldn't be bothered to fly to Colorado a few decades back, either?

These days I buy from Metro, Gator, Bedrock. Matt, Billy, boardies, Moondog etc

 

But, back in the day when I had a couple of comic shops, man those were the days.

 

I couldn't possibly list all the oddball places we found batches of golden age, but they included estate sales, a retirement home, private residences, flea markets, great collections were brought into the store all the time.

 

Those were the good old days.

i doubt people would get tired of seeing your pix of fantastic GA collections. any ol' shots of stacks of classic GA books (Timely's, DCs, Fox, etc) will do!!

funny thing happened...I got a call in Nov of 1976 from a Wilma Church...she mentioned something about comic books, but my van was in the shop, and they weren't willing to bring them to me, so yes, I passed ...and thank goodness I did...what would I have done with 18,000 Golden Age comics books...I only collect modern gems
