Robot Man Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Go to the first page and imagine it with the middle panel at the bottom. It didn't originally come that way. It came as you see it on page one of this thread. WhenI found the extra panel I just had to have it and slid it into the bottom. What are the odds to find just this piece by it's self? I am planning to do a "Rack" post one of these days and show all the various racks I currently have. (5 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I know I posted this photo at the beginning but thought it deserves to go up again here. Shows a lot of pre-MAD Alfred stuff including the paperweight. Your collection of "junk" never ceases to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detective35 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Bob, I know that you would appreciate the collection that I picked up from one source last year. The club kits are neat, but the Shadow stickers from 1934 are rare, especially in NM condition.

The-Collector Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Next up is an advertisement for a law office I believe. It is dated 1914 (a little older than the sign by about 15 years) First depiction of the "Me Worry?" saying I know of. Only one I've ever seen. Is this Alfred? wow that's amazing +1 I want that so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 No, no straight jacket... The one piece of licensed MAD memorabilia I have never owned. The T Shirt and jewelry are just about as rare though. I 'm still looking for the jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete set of Street & Smith premiums with the stickers none the less. These guys have no idea how hard that stuff is to find. You cheated though, and bought it all at once. Amazing it was from the original owner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) And finally another cool flea market score. A 1950's wooden Dell comics store rack. One of several old comic racks I've turned up over the years. I switch it up all the time. I just had it full of Christmas comics. My non-collection friends always find it fun. Bob Someone just put one of those Dell racks up on ebay, albeit in much worse shape than yours and probably at a much higher price ($1,200), but I'm sure it will sell. And before my mention of eBay sets off the usual whines complaining about the site, I want to say that there are still incredible deals and finds to be made on eBay. I just picked up this rack on eBay ... for cheap: Wow! Awesome rack! I've never seen one like that. Very easy to date. I actually prefer the folding racks like that. They take up a lot less room if not in use. Funny thing, my Dell rack is complete as pictured. But, about a year later, I found another one of the blue panels with wording on it at an antique show all by it's self. I bought it and put it at the bottom so now mine has 3 blue panels. I recently picked up a cool 1950's Little Golden Book wire hanging rack. Only one I've ever seen. I will try and shoot a photo and post it later. Little Golden Books .....post 'em if ya got 'em I just got back from the Williamsburg Film Festival that has a focus on old vintage movies with a focus on westerns. My comic dealer buddy there has a friend / partner who usually brings LGB's but didn't this year. He'll usually have real nice first print examples. GOD BLESS...-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I don't have a lot of little Golden books but I do have this Top Top Tales by Barks.

Robot Man Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here's another weird, very small subset of comic covers. Covers with comic creators on the cover. Only three photo covers I know of. First is Headline #37 sporting a Jack Kirby photo cover. This is the Crippen copy (if it matters to any one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Next up is Black Rider #8 (#1) from 1950 with a Stan Lee photo cover. I wonder if he had ever had anyone ask him to sign one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 The only other photo cover I have is My Own Romance #12 also from 1950. It is rumored to be Stan Lee on the right but I can't confirm it. Sure looks like him to me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
