Visions of gold encrusted sugar plums dance through my head as I fantasize that all 100 or so comics in the tub are from this era

Didn't give it much thought on Friday when I snapped up this Halloween mask at an estate sale I attended. Anyways when I got home I washed it with warm soapy water and noticed the back was marked 1976 Don Post Studios. It is thick durable rubber and in flawless condition. The rubber is very pliable and paint is unblemished. No tears. I also figured it out that it glows in the dark. So I google Don Post...wow! Dubbed the God Father of Halloween Masks, he did Michael Myers and the Hell Raiser Cenobites and quite a history of others. I nee to research this exciting find a little more. If anyone here knows about these vintage horror masks. Tell me somethin' good, like this thing is worth a few grand

[Hado]

AAAAAHHHH!!!!

[Calidream'n]

Not in the best of shape, but the price was right. Got this for a quarter at a used bookstore. Looks like it was signed and numbered inside the front cover. Does anybody here have more info on this underground comic?

Really cool mask. Someone is trying to sell the same one with a 200.00 buy it now on ebay. I use to have a few from the Star Wars line that he did.

Picked this up at an estate sale a few weeks ago. I've been looking for one. Solid oak all the way around with beveled glass. Four hinged doors, two on each side. Not a scratch or a nick on it.

 

I removed all the glass and doors and cleaned everything and polished the oak. Even has a light. $100.00 bucks out the door. I collect die-cast construction machines also and they fit in it perfect.

I always bring my tape measure as I have a height issue for the spot I had to put it. I had a problem getting it into the basement also because I have a landing that turns and then goes down.

 

After two failed attempts, I had to unstrap it from the dolly and lay it down. Restrap it and take it down upside down as the base was to wide to clear the stair trim rails.

 

I should have just called up Returner ( Matt ) and had him carry it down for me with one arm.

Well, this is actually the first time those babies have seen daylight. Had them in storage for many years accumulating dust on the boxes.

Very cool collection

And I hear your pain, my staircase to my rec room is narrow and has a low ceiling at the top. We had to get Ikea couches and build them down there.

I picked up a Y the last Man 1 in a cash convertors for £1 last week ;-), right on top of the pile as well. They had some invincibles, but they were tatty.

wow, a WD #19 for 50 cents that's crazy, I also love the Venom: lethal protector run

[ForlornOutcast]

I got a few decent deals lately. First one is these 4 official Nintendo cases, and a SMB/Duck Hunt manual. Found them in a bin at a pawn shop, got the lot for 50 cents.

 

 

 

 

 

Next at Pawn America I scored this N64 Expansion Pack in the box. I'm not exactly sure if its complete or not, seems to have everything it needs. This I paid $9.99 (about 1/3 its value)

 

 

 

 

 

Stopped at a GoodWill today, expecting to find nothing... .Then BAM! Boxed Sega DreamCast!

 

I have been wanting to get one of these for my gaming collection, so this worked out perfect. It had 2 controllers, 1 memory card(?), 1Red VMU, All the Dreamcast Manuals/hookups, and 10 games w/booklets.

 

My only complaints were : The original owner threw out the jewel cases, wtf?! and they put one strip packing tape all around the box, for securing it... I got most of it off ok, but peeled a little ink of the Box. I payed $34.99 not the *Best* deal I know, but the console was in great condition too. I'll pay a little more for quality.

 

 

 

...and lastly, I payed $5 at a Pawn shop for this New/Old stock 3rd party NES controller.

 

It has turbo buttons and is really cheaply made. The blue front is actually a sticker that will definitely come off.... If i actually was gonna use it. I just thought it was cool that It never got opened or played with all these years.
