I also like to thank you again for passing on the ManO Mars from Brad and giving me the opp for it. Its one of my favorite buys of the day.

I only wish I'd been there earlier. Good to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondog Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The boards very own ciorac at his booth. Yes, Bill is alive and well but as I understand it, pretty tired working a full time job and keeping that new store going. Sadly, he had no GA for me this time. Good to see you Bill! I know that guy!

Moondog Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Oh, side note. I took the first step to the dark side...I met the wonderful Joeypost and gave him my first book to submit to CGC. I'm a little excited to see what it comes back as and will post it when it does. It's not the dark side, Bob, it's just the way it is now when it's time to sell better material. Joey will make it look as good as it can get - and it will get the grade it deserves. Good luck, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've looked through the last few pages of this thread and I still haven't seen any mention of where the show takes place. http://www.calcomiccon.com/ Right next to the Richard Nixon library...

Ricksneatstuff Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Some of Terry's "teenage" stash and some other purchases. Man, these were cool to go through in his boxes. You just don't see this stuff like that. His prices seemed a little steep but I guess I am a little out of touch on them. Ricksneatstuff just wet his pants.Check with Terry he has a ton more and they wern't all at the show because he just got them. I was cleaning up the floor as soon as I saw the pic!!

Hepcat Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Nice games HepCat! Anyone interested in board games might want to pick up these two books by Rick Polizzi: While not as comprehensive as some other books on board games, I found them more interesting because of their focus on the games of the baby boomer era. Polizzi was also the publisher of a short lived magazine on board games also entitled Spin Again which only ran for five issues in the early nineties. Here's a great picture of Rick Polizzi with his board game collection from his website: Rick Polizzi evidently started collecting board games after stumbling upon one in a thrift shop in the late eighties that he'd had as a kid. By late 1990 his collection had grown to over 400 and at last count he had approximately 1500! Have any of you California fellows met Rick at any of the toy shows in the Golden State? I've only spoken with him on the phone some fifteen years ago. Edited February 6, 2017 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
