Robot Man Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 It ain't pretty to most of you people, but I am stoked! Awsome Everett origin story that I've always wanted to own. Are you freaking kidding?!!? In the trash??!! Well, look at it. It is pretty rough. The only damage is what you see. I like how the title on the first page almost lines up with the cover. Paper quality is pretty white. tight rust free staples. The odd thing is that it was the ONLY comic in the pile. My buddy got a bunch of old movie mags from the same era. I'm just glad he rescued it.

Robot Man Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was real busy last week. I set up at the All American Collector's Show. It is twice a year and features a lot of very high end toys, advertising and collectibles. And yes, on occasion comics. (This is where I met the seller of the "Paul" collection). I brought a lot of stuff I thought was unusual and would sell. It turned out pretty good. An added bonus. It has been tripple digits temp wise for a week so the thought of being inside a nice air conditioned building for a few days worked out real well! Here are pictures of my booth. I didn't bring comics as it not really the focus of the show. This will give you an idea of the stuff I run into for re-sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 As always, there is always a few people with some comics, magazines, paper ect. I picked up a real nice War Comics #11 (flamethrower cover), a very high grade early Felix the Cat four color and this from a guy. Toy guys don't use Overstreet so I was real happy. Never have seen this one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Also got these from another guy. I've never seen these before. All dated 1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 It was a Friday-Saturday show and I needed to burn some of new ill gotton wealth so I braved the heat and went to the antique flea marked on Sunday. I picked up a great 1938 Baseball Trophy, a cool turn of the century advertising tin, then, I ran into this lady. A guy had just beat me to a small pile of BA comics in her booth for $3. each. Missed a Howard the Duck #1 that looked pretty nice. But then I heard her say she also had some "girly" magazines. I think I soiled my pants when I saw these. I just never see these any more and they were in beautiful shape to boot. Oh, then she pulled out the 1933 Weird Tales mag and threw it into the $3. comic pile after the other guy left. A good weekend indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my father in-law would have bargained with you over the toy trucks on the top shelf. He had an entire display cabinet full of tootsie toy cars, jeeps and trucks. In addition he had quite a few Greyhound buses and assorted other vehicles. A lot of this collection was "overflow" for what was needed to dress up his toy train layout. He had an awesome collection of American Flyer trains with a table that was 12 by 20 feet to hold it all. Well not quite all, he also had at least 50 feet of wall space to display his American Flyer trains.

frozentundraguy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 "HAD"? I don't like the sound of that. Didn't he give you any? Sadly he passed away a few years ago. I didn't really have room for the toy vehicles, but he did give me a long box of comics one Christmas. (thumbs u I also received a fairly cool Disney TV tray, that looks to be form the 50's or 60's. I will take a photo of that and post it here. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The previously mentioned TV tray. A check of Ebay shows it is probably 70's vintage. With the wear I had thought it might be older. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, You know, I didn't think to mention it here. As it is primarily a toy and advertising show and figured most people here wouldn't care. In your backyard in Glendale. They have it twice a year in Jan and Aug. The third Friday and Sat weekends of the month. I will announce it next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
