Big historic runs like that are a testament to persistence. I didn’t see those. Might have sold before I got there. Terry said it was “near” complete but dealers hit him early.

He had the usual amazing stuff but just nothing for me this time. Harley truly is! If there's no big show anywhere in North America some weekend and he's not in Europe or Australia, he'll set up at a small local show in Michigan, Ohio or southern Ontario! jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Olson had an almost-complete set and I've been working on a set as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually heard there were more comics than usual this time. It is always a killer show. Will be back at the Jan show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pretty nice selection though I don't bother looking at anything newer than Silver Age and barely look at them. A pretty nice selection of Golden Age and I scored two nice Harvey Terry and the Pirates for about $35. I posted those in the Harvey thread. Prices seemed about normal, but no screaming bargains. Some nice pulps around here and there but way too expensive; the new trendy item. Lots of fun stuff to look at though in general though I don't need to buy anything anymore as we are trying to de-clutter the house. The paperback show is still my favorite show in this venue.

Robot Man Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Glad you are back and got to go to the show Frank. I love this show as much as the Paperback show. More of the “other stuff” than comics/books. Just a different vibe. Although not a “comic show” stuff always pops up. Especially during set up. Often toy/advertising folks that run into them in their travels. Hit or miss. The huge “Paul” collection of early comics and pulps just popped up at one show. Only had to share the boxes with one other guy who fortunately had very little money. Turned into a 5-6 month buying opportunity for me. A nice box of lower grade ECs turned up one time on the floor of the stage area. These were exceptions to the rule of course. Again, not a comic show. This is what I got last January during set up. Not counting some nice toys ect. 50YrsCollctngCmcs and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting some nice toys ect. There were a couple of "Paul" Pogos in one box; just priced a little too high for the condition. My favorite "Paul" pickup was this Pogo Four Color at a Wonder Con. I don't think I even knew what they were when I picked this one up. PopKulture, Darwination, adamstrange and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted Monday at 02:30 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 02:30 PM Got an “American Pickers” call about two garages full of comics and toys last week. A lot of junk but a lot of good stuff as well. The guy has been buying stuff for over 50 years. This will take a while as everything is all mixed up with very little organization. Comics, pulps and PBs are all stuffed in file cabinets. Lots of toys. Some pretty cool older ones. This is one garage. There is another and a side “office” room that I couldn’t get into. A fun and dirty adventure… Jayman, Roo_Phillip, 50YrsCollctngCmcs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fun and dirty adventure… Nice that's enough to keep you out of trouble for a bit. My goal in life is not to end up with a hoard like this. I plan on downsizing my comics to just the "good stuff" when I retire and move out the piles of common stuff that have sat in boxes for decades never read since I bought them off the stands. Seems a bit pointless to just have them sitting there never looked at again. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
