who is the headband guy?

 

the headband guy had some of the nicest bronze sheit we saw at the show, and that was after getting picked clean thursday night by the sharks.

This guy had NM+ Marvel Tales (the thick squarebound reprints) that looked incredible. I think joeypost picked up a couple.

 

He heard us talking as we were going through his stuff and cackled out:

 

you guys gonna put these in plastic

Some samples of what I got from the dude with headband and no personality. This same guy also lightly penciled all of his prices on the back cover of the books as well as a sticker on the bag. Even a $6000 Daring Mystery #1. :screwy:

 

Those runs of the Marvel reprint titles were incredible. Marvel Super heroes, Marvel Tales, etc. :o

I haven't been to the Chicago convention for a number of years, but from the description above and some of the other comments about the fellow running the booth, I think this is the store that you are talking about. Perhaps someone from Minny that attended, can confirm.

About 30 years ago or more, they used ink to to mark the prices on the back cover of their books. Seems to me back then the proprietors name was Tom - not sure if that's still the case these days.
