catrick339 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Howdy Gang! Closing in on 100 days of voluntary quarantine, and no end in sight. Cat and I are locked down through AT LEAST mid-July, and maybe beyond. Michigan is opening up fully, and on our few trips out (Pharmacy, bank, and Post Office for me, grocery store for me and Cat) we're seeing more and more nitwits ignoring social distancing and masks. We're not going anywhere until we see what kind of spikes develop in the Midwest after full open. We've already had two deaths among friends and close acquaintances, and several hospitalizations, including a couple intensive care stays. We're staying put. But that leaves us with a lot of time on our hands. Cat is cooking many odd dishes, with about one success in two, and every once in a while something spectacular. I'm doing yardwork, organizing books and comics, and drinking as much as is good for me, HOWEVER! As boring as things have gotten, I took a little road trip the other day to a buddy's house. He's older than me and has emphysema, so he's been AT LEAST as careful as I have been, so we decided to chance it, I came home with some junk, some interesting cheap stuff, and a few gems. I'm keeping a few items, the rest are going up for grabs. Stand by for a few pulps, a handful of early paperbacks, and a nice pile off Gold through Bronze oddballs Stand by for mixed grille! DA RULEZ I'll put up a big scan of the FC, note anything else I spot, and as always, if you'd like a scan of the back cover I'll be happy to supply it. Shipping to USA preferred, but if you want something sent to Canada or overseas PM me and we'll work something out. :TAKEIT: rules the roost, but PM's, kibitzing, and general tomfoolery are welcome. $8.50 Priority shipping to the USA for one to four books, well packed in a padded envelope. $15 boxed Priority for larger quantities. Canada or overseas to be determined. CHECK OR MONEY ORDER PREFERRED, I just plain out don't like paypal. If you just GOTTA pay with paypal PM me and we'll work something out. Returns for any reason on your dime, and for any missed major flaw or bad description on my dime. My Kudos thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4287314#Post4287314 Here we go! Giant Sized Creatures #1 First appearance Tigra, formerly The Cat Nice flat tight copy, bit of general wear. White pages, good gloss.

Robot Man Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I know the feeling Rick. Same thing for me. Opening up a little fast out here on the West Coast for me. LA is still pretty careful with masks and social distancing. But Orange County next to me is going nuts. Very few masks and just total disregard for anyone but themselves. Combine that with 2 weeks of MASS demonstrations of young folks without a care in the world is making me a little nervous. You just know very few of them are getting tested. Our biggest weekly flea market opens up next weekend. I sold my space and might not even go as a shopper. Dying to go but not figuratively... A lot of the dealers are older folks and word is a lot of them aren’t going to set up. I won’t probably sell at another show this year I’m afraid. I did the same thing myself this week and got together with an older local shut in guy and picked his garage packed with stuff. Got some cool stuff but was real careful... catrick339 and aardvark88 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
