What 1 toy or comic book is priceless to you?

[pink181]

Should have made the subject of this thread not so specific, so post what item is priceless to you even if it is not a toy or a comic.

9.8

 

(Oh... sorry! Just practicing. )

That was the very comic I ever had. I think I five or six. We bought on a ferry boat that crossed from Washington State into Canada and back. I wasn't in school yet, because I couldn't read. I picked it out based on the cover. My sister, who is five years older than me, had already read it to me three or four times.

 

I kept pestering her in the back of the car to read it to me again. She threatened me that if I asked her one more time, she would throw it out the window. She rolled it down and acted if she was going to toss it out. The wind caught the book and off it went down the Washington interstate. I was pissed.

 

I told that story on the boards. Worldsbestcomics, who lives in Washington, read my story and tracked down a 9.8 copy and sent it to me for Christmas a few years back. I was shocked. It's not going anywhere.

That's an awesome story Doc!

 

I'll have to post my two comics that my dad brought home to me when I was sick.

 

Those were my first two (priceless memories) comics that I have... a Captain America and Iron Man book.

 

But until then, I have this... the only original Mego I have left from my childhood that my parents bought for me (1978 or so... )

 

The lab coat is a repro from Dr. Mego btw.

I'm sure everyone here knows the story behind my beloved GSXM1

 

As for a toy, it would have to be the Snowspeeder from ESB. Mine went by the wayside many, many years ago. I bought one a few years ago and recently brought it out and showed my foster son. The lights and sound work fine and he thought it was major cool.

very nice

One of the first comics I ever had and I still have somewhere are my parents I believe. love this book.

 

[Jeffro.]

 

Is there a toy or a comic that is priceless to other then a price guide value?

 

 

This will always be priceless to me as it represents a simpler time that I seem to yearn for more and more these days. A time when my main daily concern was when my mom would yell to me across the neighborhood that it was time to come home now.

 

[Jeffro.]

My Johnny Quest Gold Key book.

 

That's a good one.

[dollarbil]

MARVEL SPOTLIGHT 5 (coolest character ever)

 

at a close second my

Amazing Fantasy 15 (spidey just is not as cool as Ghost Rider Sorry)

[spidrvacc]

WOW . I was just telling my wife and son a few weeks ago my favorite toy ever and it was the Big Wheel. I ruled the neighborhood with that. And drove the elderly guy on the corner crazy with the noize as I would come down the block. he would hang out the window and scream at me to get away from his house with that thing.

Truth be told...nothing I have ever bought is priceless to me.

 

The love of my wife, two kids and family are all priceless to me that mean more to me than anything.

 

With that said, my TOS 39 and Avengers 4 are very close to my heart.

 

 

[Hibou]

... then I'm sure that neighbor was thrilled when the Green Machine came out!

 

[spidrvacc]

Again wow I remember that. Did not have that one but that one is awesome.

 

There is one in its original box on Ebay for $350 .

 

... then I'm sure that neighbor was thrilled when the Green Machine came out!

I had the same exact Big Wheel Jeff. One of my best memories also comes from this toy. When I was little, my family lived right up the road from my Paw-Paw, who was my favorite person in the world, next to my mom of course. We lived on an old gravel road out in the country, and when the plastic wheels hit the rocks it was ungodly loud. Whenever I would hop on the Big Wheel to head down to my Paw-Paw's, he could hear me coming all the way down the road due to how loud it was. He would always say "Here comes trouble!"

 

I may not have the Big Wheel anymore, but that is a priceless memory to me.

There is a little boy who lives a street over from me who has a Green Machine. The first time I saw him on it reminded me about wanting one when I was a kid. That is a cool ride.

I rode mine into the ground. I distinctly remember it having big gaping holes in the front tire. We used to ride it down the sidewalk which was on a slight incline and then turn sharply into a neighbors driveway and purposely roll it over so we would spill onto the grass. Those were the days.

I bought it off the rack and my brother and I read it a billion times. The cover somehow remained on even though it was stuffed into drawers, cabinets, boxes, under beds .. everywhere.

 

This book fueled my search for every appearance of Ghost Rider once I found out you can buy back issues.
