Robot Man Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 A couple of random room shots. This was a VERY small show. Made me feel real comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 My buddy Brad from F-VF comics. Due to covid, his inventory was a little slim and sadly no scores here. We had a nice talk about motorcycles though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 29, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2021 And even saw Terry! He was telling me how he caught Covid. Didn’t surprise me but glad he was OK. He had a nice stock but I was only able to fish one cool book out of his boxes. Still another one to complete this run. jimjum12, adamstrange, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Had a great day. One of the best I’ve had in a year. Was great to find a few books, but the best part was seeing my buddies and a small sense of normality coming back into my world. I suspect other than a possible smaller SDCC in Nov, this might be it locally.

To be honest, it was very small. Probably not worth the drive for you. But it was a comic show! There were 5 big SA/GA dealers is why I went. Didn’t score too much but just had a great time hanging out and geeking comics again. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 We’re sticking to smaller highways for our current road trip. I had to post this BigBoy wannabe I saw in a little town in Kansas. He somehow looks like Snoopy and Charlie Brown at the same time. Robot Man, porcupine48, comicjack and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Great photo! One of my friends collects advertising. He has an old, original Big Boy statue in his den. Complete with scratched in graphitti. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to work in a building in Burbank that was one of the old Big Boy food processing plants. If you sniffed hard enough the whiff of thousand island dressing could be detected!! As a kid the Big Boy comics had to be the biggest disappointment; yeah they were free but boy were they bad! The Burbank Big Boy was always a fun visit with lots of interesting people whatever the hour and a great classic car show on Friday evenings.

Robot Man Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Antique stores, garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, toy and antique shows, ebay and word of mouth. Many, many years of scouring often very early on cold mornings with a flashlight. Persistance my friends. I have tapered way off these days. I’m very content with what I have. The only exceptions would be old and rare comics and motorcycle toys. At the end of the day it’s all about the thrill of the hunt and that “buzz” in the air when I walk into a flea market or show early. The thrill of “possibility”... mlansdown and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 It’s #42 day in baseball. The day we all honor a quiet man who made so much difference at such a huge cost. We need more heroes like this now. Thanks Jackie! EmilC, jimjum12 and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
