One of my favorite things are old matchbooks. Always around and always very cheap. Here is some of a nice collection of pre war ones I found years ago. Those are great; the printing on some of those is really well done. The streamliner steamers make a great set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streamliner steamers make a great set. Yes being involved in graphic design, advertising and printing all my life, I am real drawn to them. Several have a fifth color of heavy metallic ink. I picked up this group many years ago. They were attached to pages in a salesman sample book. 2 of each one. I framed a lot of them and these were left over. I have them grouped here into subject matter. They were printed and trimmed out flat with no matches. I pick them up here and there for a buck or two when I come across them. Like pinback buttons, they produced a lot of color and subject matter in a very small space. Blow them up for a good look.

Bob, Just saw this post and wanted to comment. I learned about a year or so ago that FDR (and Teddy Roosevelt too) are some of my cousins. Geneology is one of my other hobbies.

Robot Man Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Went to the LA paperback show today. Last one was 2 years ago just prior to Covid. Was great to see so many people again and the chance to sniff all things paper. Saw a number of boardies. The joint was PACKED and people were spending. All dealers were very happy.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Got to see the 3 “Ghoulantics” my buddies Grant Geissman, John Kousakis and John Gothold. Really missed these guys. Such fountains of EC lore. John Kousakis was so kind to give us each a pile of vintage EC t-shirts. He recently bough out the entire back stock of Grafitti studios con shirts. He will be soon listing them on the bay. I will post pictures later.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2022 Here is my haul. Lot of digging and several fun items turned up. For just a few bucks each I bought nice runs of Collector’s Item Classics and Marvel Tales SA reprints. Will be fun to read again.

Wish I went to Phillips’s instead… Yeah, was really a fun show and VERY busy. I swept through then spent a couple hours socializing with my buddies.
