What else do you collect?? 18 18

[Knightsofold]

Sometimes through work I get to meet some interesting people and get some cool sigs.

This one's one of my all time favorites, from the creator of the Mega Man videogames.

Anybody like old advertising characters?

This is a 1920's store display for RCA radios and tubes. It was designed by the illustrator Maxfield Parrish

I love me some Reddy. That wood-jointed Mr. Peanut is a treasure as well. Staring at that GE figure, it takes all my imagination to see the Parrish influence, but after a while... yeah, maybe. Nothing obvious a la Knave of Hearts or Edison Mazda-esque, but maybe a little sumptin-sumptin.

A lot of neat and diverse collections shown so far.

I collect Lone Ranger stuff, 19th century Yellowstone stereo views  and Classics Illustrated wire display racks and fanzines.

Here are my CI display racks.

Here are my CI fanzines. Anyone know of any CI fanzines before The 1972 Classics Collector's Club Newsletter?

I've always loved aircraft and collected various books, models and comics down the years. I still have a handful of these Franklin Mint die cast replicas.

Air Ace was a black and white British digest sized comic. I still have the first 60 issues or thereabouts.

I was fascinated by the sheer range of planes used during WWII.

[Flex Mentallo]

I read my copies to rags and only re-collected them forty years later.

[Flex Mentallo]

I loved these two - they aren't story books. Instead they depict the actual planes. My father burnt my copies because I wouldnt stop reading them.

This is a dinky little series of small hardbacks that set out to show every plane used during the war in ten volumes. They show actual photos rather than recreations, except for the covers.

I collect books.  Comic books just happen to be the biggest sub-set within the book collection.

Any other Oz fans in here?

That's a great set of Oz books there!  The interior art on those always blows my mind!!  So bizarre...

I was a big OZ fan as a kid.  Have a few of the copies my parents bought for my older brother.  They were inexpensive reprints that lacked the color plates.  Some years ago, I bought the Books of Wonder reprints, which include the color plates, to read to my kids when they were young.  Still get a kick out of them.  Dorothy and the Wizard of OZ (fourth book in the series, I think) is probably my favorite.

Great stuff!  Love the vintage display racks.  Have you assembled a complete set of the originals? 

I'm not familiar with the Jones book.  Good?

Thanks Sqeggs. I used to have a low grade original set but sold them. I've since built it back up to about 130 of the 169 originals and about 40 of the new cover/interior issues in 7.0 and above. Missing most of the first 20 but not in a hurry to get them as the prices aren't shooting up any time soon.

The Jones book (2nd edition) was recommended to me by Scrooge and I like it a lot. Excellent info on the history of the company and the artists.
