I'm Coming Out of the Closet...Loads of Pics

[telerites]

So here's the deal. Since I was 8 when I bought my first comic book back in 1972, I have collected (or rather not thrown away) all kinds of stuff in addition to comics. I have things stored in my parent's closets, my closets, under beds, in storage bins, in the garage...well you get the idea. I have always wanted to go through and take pics of everything. This is a formidable task but I'm making progress. So I thought I's share some of the pics as I go through this stuff. Some of it is pretty esoteric - some older, some newer - it just depends what stash I hit and take pictures. I'm only a very small percent of the way through.

 

Join in if you've got stuff you want to share or if something brings back some memories for you. And I want to mention, there is nothing here that I am selling (one of my pet peeves is starting a thread outside of the sales forum of oh look I found as a way to get extra exposure and then it ends up in sales thread but that's just me).

 

Not that anyone would want any of this carpola.

 

So out of the closet I come.

From a stash in a wooden wine box from one of parent's closets:

 

These are small plastic mini cups that are from around the mid 70s (I think) about an inch and half tall. IIRC, you would peel the sticker off and stick on the cup. I have 11 Marvel characters and one Wonder Woman that is entirely different and I know clue where it came from:

 

 

A couple of fuzzy close-ups:

Sounds just like me! Unfortunately a nasty person_without_enough_empathy name Katrina took care of most of saved up so I'll have to live vicariously through you. Bring it on!

I actually remember buying these in the mid 70s. They are magnets and the colors are still as bright and vibrant as when I bought them:

You think those might have had little caps and something was inside the cups? Maybe from a gumball machine or something?

I have no clue where these came from. They are mini comics. The Hawkman and Green Lantern are similar - full color and about 3x5 inches with 12 story pages. The Superman is different. It has a copyright of 1979 - about 4x6 inches with 16 story pages.

Gotta have Pez dispensers in any collection - Hulk and Spiderman. They came with a minicomic that folds out. The two comics I have are the same featuring the Hulk which is shown in the second pic and for some reason, I had stowed away two Eisenhower dollars in the box which you see holding the comics down.

A few shots of tequila and I generally think I am Superman so you may be on to something:-)

5 DC paperback Tempo Books. I actually have another set of five with a Wonder Woman and in a pre-made holder that I'll get to later. From 1978 with b/w interiors.

5 March of Comics - 4 Baby Snooks and 1 Little Lulu

Cool stuff so far.

[telerites]

And some old paperback from that were in the box:

 

This is an Ace Double that contains two complete novels - you just flipped it over, hence the two covers. I always thought the Psionic Menace cover was great:

 

 

And the other side:

 

 

And more books:

 

 

 

 

 

This has some cool Fabian illustrations - All Fabian issue:

They came out of Cereal Boxes. I remember collecting them as a kid

That was it in the first box. The next set is from a plastic storage container from my house - mainly newer things:

 

Couple of Corgi die-cast Batman vehicles - these are pretty cool. I have a ton of these with different vehicles.
