Pickie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thank you for the report! Foreign guys like me think it's so cool to do it in function rooms with carpeted floor ... (odd comment, I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just ask these boardies. Well worth getting out of the cold and coming out next year. So many books and great people. Honestly it is a blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Here are some of my meager highlights... Love this Crown #1 de-slabbed CGC 8.0. I'm only down to the last two of these I need. Sqeggs, Pat Calhoun and PopKulture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manetteska Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Awesome report, RM. Love the wall pics and the boardie pics. Missed this show (maybe next year?) but flying out that way for WonderCon in March. Are you setting up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Four Favorites #30. Annother elusive issue courtest of Jamie Graham. Only need one or two of these "teen-age" issues left. sagii, PopKulture, Sqeggs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Batman #34. Being a biker, I collect motorcycle covers and toys as well. This was a consolation prize. I wanted my friend Jim Maley's #25 but it had a severe spine split and was a bit over priced so I got this one instead from him for about one third the price of the 25. I will land a 25 one of these days. It's not a rare issue. I'm a happy boy. Speaking of motorcycle covers... I found this cool Abbott and Costello out in the patio buried in a box for 5 bucks. Never seen it before. Pays to box dive in un-expected places guys... STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have always liked this EC Gunfighter #14 just haven't had one for a long time. I picked this up for a real fair price. I am sure I will up grade it in the future. Nothing like a little Johnny Craig bondage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobbledclam Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Jeff from Washington had an amazing selection of tough old books to choose from. His former partner Cloud 9 owner Ken Dyber was walking the floor shopping like there was no tomorrow purchasing amazing books for his store. Ted Van Liew from Superworld and wife Lisa were as nice as can be and easy to deal with. Every golden age dealer there was on their A game, and the same goes for the collectors as well. Bravo chaps and lassies! Spunky o' righty then Mr O'Neil! Beans up! Edited January 31, 2018 by Cobbledclam Spelling and grammatical errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot his board name.Always has just killer stuff and one of the best guys to deal with in the room. He picked up a copy of Frankenstein #1 that was the best copy I have ever seen. He was off the hook happy and I don't blame him. Such a rare book. Who says all the GA guys are all a bunch of geezers? I saw LOTS of younger guys spending good money on GA in the room. This hobby is in good hands my friends! This dealer had a killer 7.0 Fight 31 with really nice paper at the top of the rack,my fav decap war book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show about kills me...besides, my boxes are a little thin after Terry's. I'd have to dig deep into the personal junk pile and you don't want me to have to do that do you? I'll be there with a fat wallet box diving with every body else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here he is with my good buddy Bitteroldman and the fellow with a large fist of hundos that went away happy with my Fight Against Crime #20 (thanks Hap!) Sorry Rick, but I just couldn't go any lower on that one, private collection and you know how that goes with me. It did sell for full price to a happy collector later in the day who figured out that he would be looking for a long time for another one. Ray is so far from a bitter old man as I could imagine. He had that poop eating grin on his face all day. He kept coming back and buying books all day. He mentioned he wanted a Jimmy Olsen #44 on the boards and low and behold, one popped out of my boxes for 1/2 guide and into his grubby little hands. Funny how and LA Dodger and SF Giants fans could get along so well but we both love the sport! (and Crumb) Real nice FAC #20. Sigh, I'll need to get a copy back again one day. It's only been about 17 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
