I have almost a complete collection but always looking to swap or buy if I'm missing or upgrading. The Pan Ams came from a single source and all I have. Only time I’ve seen any. I have a fair amount of BLBs. Can’t say I seeked many out just grabbed them when they became available. If you have a small specific want list, PM me and I will see what I can do.

Big Little books have a single story, a novelette?, with an illustration on every other page. Pulp Magazines contain fiction of any length, with a few scattered interior illustrations. "Both were cheaply produced, cheap to buy" > So what. "... and tough to find in higher grade." Everything old is hard to find in high grade. "And not a quality location to post in the threads." And neither is this sub-board. Donald Duck may be the exception. Pirates Gold and Volcano Valley were both stories by Barks and there are others.

Robot Man Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 There are a number of “All Picture” titles with comic pages on each page telling a visual story similar to comic books. Some also had “flip corner” illustrations that simulated animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I know “nobody cares about these” but when I run into them in this shape for a couple of bucks, I just can’t leave them… Darwination, OtherEric and Sarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Flea market painting find. Not actual production art but a very nice amateur effort. OtherEric and Darwination 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Very cheap flea market pickups yesterday. Rarely, see these ice cream premium giveaways. Just paid, stuffed them in my bag and moved on. Figured they were Tarzan ice cream premiums. Was happy to find them. When I got home, I checked them out and found they were “Buddy” ice cream premiums. A new one for me. Similar but smaller size than the Tarzan ones. I rarely find old comics out there anymore. A few pulps and PBs once in a while but there are almost always some BLBs. Since these were usually bought by kids who bought comics, you would think the flea market sellers would find comics as well but not very often. As long as they are either good titles in high grade or scarcer ones like these at under $10, I have a hard time leaving them. I think old houses are getting cleaned out. It is getting harder and harder to find any old magazines except maybe Playboy or car mags which I just pass on.
