Here is a nice news story from KOLO ABC affiliate on the Truckee collection and TJ's store. 

Thanks for posting this!

Nice piece, and much better than the usual condescending and superficial mainstream media bits.  Good job by TJ!

Here is a nice news story from KOLO ABC affiliate on the Truckee collection and TJ's store. 

The gentleman interviewing me graduated high school in 1962 and is still working as a tv reporter. That’s a man with no plans to retire. He’s doing what he loves.

They spent over two hours in the store for the three-minute interview. I actually got him to break professional stride for a moment when he showed me his stack of comics his niece had bought him. He was fully expecting the whole stack might be worth $50. When I told him what his Spidey 50 was likely worth, he went into full stammer for about three seconds before getting back to “seasoned newsman never fazed by anything”. We had a nice chat about what it was like reading AF15 off the rack as a teenager (and no, his copy is long gone).

Here are four more upcoming World’s Finest. The 9 and 13 are in the June Signature, the 11 and 12 are in the May 30 weekly.

All four with OW/W pages and all four with beautiful color.

A NM World's Finest 9 (and Human Torch 12) were the first Golden Age books I ever bought.

Phil Seuling's 4th of July convention in NYC in 1978. I was 14.
