Is this like code?

 

Translated from the Spanish or French:

Since forumites are already selling or trading vintage comics, why do we not sell old magazines like Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, tabloids, etc? e.g. special covers with ASM, Marilyn, Elvis, Beatles, J.C. Leyendecker, Franklin Booth interior b/w ads. :gossip:

Because those are magazines and not comics. There's a world of difference. The written word to picture quotient is through the roof on magazines.

Magazines are big, bulky, heavy and most importantly cheap.

If something is very cheap that usually means there is very little margin for someone to make any money selling it. You would have to sell a very large amount of the mags you are asking about at a convention to make it worthwhile.

I can tell you from experience that that ain't gonna happen at a comic book show.

Buy a table and knock yourself out. (thumbs u
