Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Poking around some premiums today. Here is a cool one. Anybody have any Green Lama comics that offer this? Or maybe a Pulp item? buttock, Mmehdy, jimjum12 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Show alert warning…If all you care about is comics, move to the big auction house thread. If you like a little flavor in your diet, hang around might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) The August All American collector’s show is in the books. This is a fun 2 day show that happens twice a year. Attracts a lot of very quality sellers in the vintage toy and advertising hobby. I have set up at almost every one for probably 30 years. The dealer badges this year were steller. The theme for this show was comic characters. In addition to these were a very nice Betty Boop and Mickey one. The promoter said he would get me one of each to complete my set. I offered a few free admission badges in the event thread and got no takers… Edited August 21, 2022 by Robot Man littledoom, Mmehdy, jimjum12 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted August 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yeah there were some comics and pulps. A little light this time but I scored a few fun Atlas books from a nice older woman. Also a very thick scrapbook of old comic covers that some kid put together many years ago. Just too cool and too cheap to leave. Not a comic show but they do usually turn up here and there.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted August 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 All in all, one of the best shows I’ve done for quite a while. People came with full wallets and were very willing to pay up. I was told I had some of the best prices in the room. I had stuff from $5 to $1K and sold some of each and everything in between. I was there to move stuff and was busy from start to finish. I was very happy to go home with several empty bins. This market is still very strong. I even sold Big Little Books, obscure Platinium characters and cowboys. Can’t wait for the January show! thehumantorch, Treco, adamstrange and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey must have been moving hundreds of thousands of books a month to all the Baby Boomers out there. I've never seen sales figures but they sure morphed their company into a major entertainment mecca for the kids back in the fifties and sixties. I think Hot Stuff would still make an awesome cartoon even one done for adults if done right. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hot Stuff would still make an awesome cartoon even one done for adults if done right. In the very late ‘50’s / early ‘60’s, they were VERY prevalent. Harvey and DC ruled the racks along with Archie’s. Harveys were the books my parents bought for us mostly. My dad liked Sad Sack. We had to trade several for one DC to the neighborhood kids. My tastes were Batman and the DC war books that until Marvels came out… jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
