Popular Post BB-Gun Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 I purchased this one at a flea market but it was probably a very temporary set up in an open air market. KCOComics, Badger, comicnoir and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post originalisbest Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 Found this for $40 in high school, in an antique store down the street from my high school. No other copies of any type of comic book in sight. Wish there had been! BB-Gun, PopKulture, littledoom and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 My favorite flea market pick up of all time; I think I had to drop all of fifteen cents. But it was the mid seventies. originalisbest, frozentundraguy, Badger and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post catman76 Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 this is 90 percent of the comics, pulps, books, records I own. There's nothing more fun than digging through junk shops, flea markets and garage sales etc and getting all dusty and dirty and finding something cool. I'd have to post thousands of pictures to show all my comics from the wild, but here's all the pictures of ones I have on hand... frozentundraguy, SkOw, gino2paulus2 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most exciting finds have always been the ones I have just walked up to randomly at non comic book events. You know when your heart skips a beat, you get all dry in the mouth and your hands are shaking when you hand over the money...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted January 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yeah, don't get me going like Brian sez. Here's are a couple. My grandmother bought me this for a dollar when I was about 10 at a flea market. Was the only one the lady had. By far the oldest comic I had ever seen. I had no idea of the significance until many years later. OtherEric, woowoo, frozentundraguy and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted January 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2021 Flea market show find. I walked up to a table and a guy had this one as well as a Looney Tunes and a WDCS from the same year. I heard him ask how much and she said $3. each. He offered her $2. for this one then tossed them back on the table when she said no. I picked this one up and pulled out $3. and off I went. Funny part is, I also had no idea of the significance when I bought it. It was just a 1951 Tec and it was dirt cheap. Wasn't until I got home and looked it up and realized how lucky I was. What are the odds that it turned out to be THIS issue? Randall Ries, frozentundraguy, OtherEric and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy it from you for my run for $10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
