Robot Man Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Went to a little local comic book meet up today. About 20 collectors buying and selling. Our very own Pablo (dreamtoreal1) graciously hosted the event and bought a cool book from me. A great time was had by all. Thanks Pablo! adamstrange, gino2paulus2 and Dreamtoreal1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 This lady always shows up with a bag of GA. Seems her uncle was a big GA collector back in the day. He passed away and left her his collection. She is always swarmed! jimjum12, Dreamtoreal1 and gino2paulus2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Yeah it was. Thanks for the invite. My only regret was coming home without a single book... Cash is over rated unless you are Uncle Scrooge. Books over cash any day of the week. Now, I gotta go out and find some more good stuff to keep you hungry mongrels fed.

Popular Post 50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 Anyone else come across this beer out of San Luis Obispo here in California. A good friend just shipped me a four pack! Haven't tried it yet but I love the packaging!

Robot Man Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Well, it looks like it's safe to crawl outta my bunker. For you local LA guys and gals, I will be doing the Valley Comic Book show this Sunday 5/23. I have not done a show since Jan 2020. I should have many boxes of GA/SA/BA. Many heavily discounted some not so much but a decent mix. I will be sharing a booth with local boy Jim Maley and we will be against one of the walls. I will be the older white haired guy with some sort of colorful comic character mask on. Come by and say hi. There will be a number of vintage comic books dealers there as well. The hotel requires masks. We haven't been lifted yet. Lukesaurus, Mmehdy, jimjum12 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 7, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2021 "The Drawer Liner" Not sure I've ever told this story or not. Was digging through some boxes and ran into this. Made me smile all over again.. Many years ago, a non collecting friend gave me this. I was blown away and asked where it came from? He said his dad sent it to him thinking he might like it. Apparently, his dad was a "junk picker" on the east coast. He had found it in an old chest of drawers from a house he was clearing out. He called it a "drawer liner". These guys run into all kinds of stuff in their line of work. My friend knew I collected comics and wanted to know if I wanted it. I had to tell him it was a real early issue and worth money. I never really quote dollar figures in a situation like this because more than not if I am totally honest, I lose out. But I do have some ethics and felt I had to let him know it had value. He didn't care nor did he want to know what it was worth, he just thought I'd enjoy it. Several years later my wife and I were on the east coast junking and hooked up with his dad and thanked him for the book. He was glad "it went to a good home". So we took him and his wife out for a nice dinner. Cool guy and we had great dinner conversation. I have kept it ever since. I figured if I ever decide to sell it, I would split the profit with him. Just can't imagine parting with it. cabinboy, Larryw7, littledoom and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Just when I think I know about all the comic book clubs out there, I find another one. Got in a pile of books was this issue of Golden Lad #4 from 1946. Low and behold, was this ad for the Golden Lad Club! Now, I got another club kit to hunt down. Anybody hear of one of these for sale, I’m the guy! KirbyJack and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 24, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Man, it seems like forever since I’ve done one of these. A real con report! Masked up. Washed my hands and headed up to Hollywood for the annual Torpedo Con. Always look forward to this one. Brings out dealers from all over the country. Walked in and bumped right into Dale Robert’s booth. A quick scan of his beautiful wall of books and hit his boxes. Had a quick talk, bought a few cool books at a friendly price and moved on. bpc3qh, alexgross.com, tth2 and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
