Nice pickup Doohickamabob! What year(s) are those?

 

Thanks! They are 1947/1948.

[Chip Cataldo]

Welp I've picked up another 35 or so boxes over the last few days from that big collection (my friend who's relocating), and I'll tell ya...there's so much esoteric in here I have no idea where to start. . Just tonight I've come across :

 

- 1938 World Series program with an unmarked box score

- Madballs Rollercycle with rare Horn Head figure

- Retro 51 fountain pen in original wood box

- autographed Derek Jeter official MLB ball

- Diablo III for PC, still sealed

- Thunderbird 8mm Reel Projector

- issue of Look magazine from 1936

- NECA Mummy's Tomb Headknocker

 

...just to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with. Complete and total randomness!

 

I hope to have some pics up soon. There's just a tremendous amount of stuff!

 

Peace,

 

Chip

I found someone set up at one of those yard sale tables this morning....

 

 

 

 

It was one of those by the pound sort of deals...

 

 

 

 

Highlights of the haul

[Tri-Color Brian]

Found these today at a flea market. Nothing special, but they were only $2 ea. It's nice to find 1960s comics once in awhile...

 

 

 

 

 

 

[1Cool]

I found these today at a half price book place that looked like they had just got a collection in. I thought the price on the books was the half off price but the guy took 1/2 off the tag at the counter. I paid $23 for the entire set!

Waded through 20 boxes of stuff that had been in stored (badly) for years.

 

Got these as some of the better ones -

 

 

Plus about 300 Dr Strange, Avengers, Uncanny X-men, Thor etc etc

 

Plus this - any idea what this is - it's still 'factory sealed"

 

 

 

Sorry for poor pics but its a 5000 edition of 6 x 9 Trading Cards from 1990 - I don't want to open it (yet) until I know what it is - 'proof set 614b' is on the cover.

 

Lot of Valiants, lotta drek - lots of fun!

Must have been 3000 books.....

The spiderman thing is a keepsake collection from McFarlane. It has some prints of the covers he did both in color and in b/w

I got an opened Carnage Keepsake one in that big collection I acquired a few weeks ago and snapped a picture of it so you'd know what comes in them.

[Chadwick]

Those prints would look great framed together

Thanks Chip - that's the second collection, right?

 

Plus the one I acquired was marked "proof set" and had a code ending with a letter - any idea what the difference is - all the others I have seen (admittedly only 3 so far) had 4 digits.

 

This is 614B - any idea why the different coding Chip? (or anyone?)

And that's another thread I've killed.

Very awesome find !! i'd hold onto that Carnage set. it might go up in value as the new supposed movie comes out.

[mrwoogieman]

Been slim pickings here the past two weeks.

 

I did pick up a small box of sixties guff from a guy in Williamsburg who said they were his father in laws. Got a beat- ASM 6 out of it. Plus a pretty nice ASM 8 and a few other goodies.

 

 

[Chip Cataldo]

Thanks Chip - that's the second collection, right?

I would think so, with yours being the first. This is the first one I recall seeing, though the more I look at it the more I vaguely remembering having one of each at some point. I'm old and my memory is fading.

Proof set could be a sample of some sort. if it doesn't have regular numbering I'd certainly treat it as such.

 

Peace,

Thanks Chip

[followtheleader]

Picked up the following 70s/80s:

 

Godzilla Shogun (with the tail, all the toes, the hand that still shoots, no broken tongue or lever)

 

Fortress Maximus head (perfect as I have an extra body to go with it)

 

17 Battle Beasts in nice shape

 

Tron (amazing shape)

 

Mini-Spy Transformer

 

2 Original Optimus Primes (both in boxes, fantastic condition, 1 is the Pepsi variation)

 

Stack of M.U.S.C.L.E.S figures. A bunch I've never seen before.

 

Just fun good stuff.
