I’m sure I’m not the only one who fantasies being a kid with a few Mercury dimes and having to chose only two or three. A lot of times, my choices would not necessarily be books that would be worth the most today. 

Just to have a newsstand fresh copy of many of those 1940's comics though! If you forced me to choose just one, I might end up with a Green Lantern with Harlequin or Streak on the cover.

They've got something for every taste here.  And comics and magazines, too!

Except Ethel hid the PCH stuff ... or is hoarding it at her house so nobody'll see ...

I have posted this before so now I'm asking you to find the comics and post a picture that you find and there is a Marvel 1 in there.

This is still my favorite Action 2 More fun 32 and more.

I absolutely love this photo.  What I can't understand, however, is why there are two comics on the bottom shelf (NA #27 and Tec #16) that have ads for Action #1, but there is a copy of Action #2 on the top shelf?

NA 27 and Tec 16 weren't big sellers, so they hung around past the time that Action 1 sold out and 2 was on the stands.  This would explain why DC switched all the titles over to superheros over the next couple years.
