Lol

Tiger Electronics!? That's a name from the past! They and GameStop are probably saying suchkah right now due to all us 40 year olds haha.

Unless these have been rereleased for a while? It's the first I've noticed...

Anyone know?

$20 a piece?   seems like that's what they cost way back in the 80's too  or was it $5

 

I owned Double Dragon as a kid and beat it. Getting parents to buy it was like pulling teeth, that is all I remember, so maybe that's why I was flummoxed...

I went to an estate sale last Monday that had hundreds of hopeful buyers show up in the early morning for a smattering of golden age, original art and dozens of shortboxes of deep cut 90s indies. The golden age comics were $10 each and the moderns were $2 each

And was just curious as I admire the effort as well. Been warm as of late still, and I haven't hardly put in as much effort.

Been saving personally so that was my vicariously living post

The maxx Glow and Valiants are amazing!  This is a serious collector to have those gold books.  Which gold holo ultraverse is that?

Another cool buyer picked up Supreme #1 gold variant and Darker Image #1 silver platinum B&W variant for $2 each also! Yup he was a terrific collector! The gold holo ultraverse variant is Ultraforce #1

The family that sold me the great 70s magazine & book collection last month contacted me this week and said they found more boxes of paperbacks. Those were pretty cool to look through (more Conan, Lovecraft and classics). However, the gems inside those boxes turned out to be these...

I make a point to go to my two local antique malls about every other month.   At last it worked out.  The Superman 3 is only a cover with 2 wraps, and the Planet Comics is super nice.  Snatched them up, and have both of them sent to CGC for a press and slab.

Every holiday season, I take vacation the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, and do a lot of stuff with family and friends. One tradition, going back many years, is my best bud Brian and I go out and hit up every toy shop in town. He's a confirmed G.I. Joe Junkie, and I like a little bit of everything. This year our outing happened to coincide with the big flea market at the fairgrounds, so we made a stop by there as well.

Didn't find much comic wise, though I was more than happy to pick up these Hellboy Seed of Destruction books for a measly $3 each.  I also grabbed another G.I. Joe Classified store display, which make great displays for home as well. Funny, I got the first one for free at a Walmart three years or more ago, and bought my second one for $25 at a Peddlers Mall, a couple of years later. Paid $50 for this one. I guess I'm getting easier, or supply is finally drying up.

Also talked a guy down on a big bin of plastic junk. Lots of MotU, Joe, TMNT, etc Mostly just bits and pieces and accessories, but there's plenty of money in there to make it worthwhile. Besides, digging through plastic junk is my favorite hobby.

The big score of the day was this box from the Marvel Comics Collecting Kit. I know we've discussed these a few times, they were available through either Sears of Penny's Wish Book catalogs when I was a kid. The kit came with a bundle of comics, a price guide, bags and boards, and one of these boxes. I FINALLY tracked down the orange/red one at a garage sale this summer, and this weekend, at long last, I grabbed the green one! You've rarely seen a man get his wallet out as quickly as I did that day! 

All in all it was a very fun outing. Hope you all had a groovy New Year!
