Popular Post Point Five Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 Here's a sharp funny animal book I bought on a whim ages ago and was never able to part with. Cool space cover, the colors sizzle and I feel some kinship with the stressed-out chicken.

Popular Post BitterOldMan Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 When I saw cheap, I thought of Mad magazine who always put cheap next to their price.

I still bump into small groups of these early issues at flea markets and in the wild from time to time and usually buy them. I have multiples of many of them but just can’t help myself… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because others have also added books in this thread to their want lists, the title might need to be changed to something such as: "Books that will no longer be cheap going forward." At least for the near-term... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beers Book Center was established in 1936 in Sacramento California. The store is named after one of the original owners Nellie Beer. The bookstore has moved several times due to urban redevelopment and it was at the 1406 "J" street location for about 30 years beginning in 1952. The bookstore is still in business today selling mostly used books at its present location at 915 "S" street. Its a long way to New Jersey.

Thanks. I find it interesting that a brick & mortar used bookstore was able to adapt and remain in business this long after relocating several times and facing online competition.

Popular Post BitterOldMan Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 With a $1,000 limit, the vast majority of my comics are cheap. Paid $990. Bought my first low grade FC 386 for $25 at the first Berkeley Comic Con in 1973. $25 in 1973 would be $158.30 today.

What a great run of “border” issues! #27 is a Jack Davis masterpiece. This photo just doesn’t do it justice. One of those “I’ll never sell” issues. #30 is the first full cover appearance of AEN. The back cover is every bit as good as the front. #28 was the last issue I needed to complete my collection. Back in the pre-internet/comic book stores. Was for some reason, impossible for me to find. Edited February 11, 2022 by Robot Man Tri-Color Brian and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
