Thanks for the memories, Mac.  It was a treat to get TBG in the mail starting in '73, triggering hours spent scouring the ads.  I did a fair amount of buying back issue Silver Age Marvels and started building my collection of undergrounds (I may very well have bought a few from Sidebottom), all for the purposes of reading with their monetary value and condition never given a whiff of consideration.  Just for the fun and entertainment of it all.

lol !!  It's true !!  In those days, condition hardly mattered.  It was more about securing the issue number.  As long as the book wasn't totally wrecked, I was quite happy with it.  

I hated subscription creases though :mad: 

I always avoided the sub crease back issues too.

I always thought this was a cool item, and Rex has the box too !!  Only $75 back then.  Anyone know what these things go for now ?

the big collection Dave and I bought had 5 sets of these in it, 2 of the sets were in the original mailers still.

All 5 sold in the one convention.

 

As this contains Steranko related interviews and such it is probably in the collection: we just have not found it yet!

Now that's what I call a film festival!

I've read that the all night movie shows were a way to provide shelter for attendees who couldn't afford hotel rooms. They could hang around there and get some sleep if they wanted.

I saw that G posted pics of one in the "This Week in your Collection" thread.  I sent him a heads up.  Thought he might find the ad interesting. (shrug)
