Comic Book Marketplace Memories
Robot Man replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I can help out a little. I recognize faces but the passage of time has erased some names sadly. Perhaps, some boardies with better memories can fill in the rest. Top photo: 2nd from the left, a legend in his own time and a rather dashing guy even now, Richard (Mr Bedrock) Evans. Don’t remember the other guys. 2nd photo: The guy 3rd from the left is my old buddy Gary Coddington. The two guys to his left are old dealers I believe but can’t remember. Don’t know the kid. 3rd photo: Easy, Ritchie Halgua on the left and Redbeard on the right. Great guys. Still keep in contact with him and John Knight (not pictured). We had a lot of good times and still do when we get together. Look at that piece of art Redbeard is holding. One of my favorite Strange Adventures covers. Man, Ritchie had vision and Great art! 4th photo: The guy on the left has been outed. Guy on the right, not sure. Hopefully, some of these guys will see this and fill in the blanks. -
Great book Pablo! One I've never owned...

Which ones to have signed and graded
Robot Man replied to nmanoim's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
As was said, if these were not witnessed by CGC they will not come back as authentic signatures. They are not rare or high end books. I wouldn't waste your money. Just keep them in Mylar and enjoy them... -
You think you can keep it that long???

Superman thread show us yours
Robot Man replied to earlyactions-migration's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Probably my favorite Superman cover. Here is mine. I got it on ebay many years ago. It has very tiny bug holes that go all the way through it. It came from Hawaii from a lady who found a small pile of WWII era comics in an old service man's trunk. I wonder why more old comics don't come out of there considering how many US servicemen were stationed there in the war. Here is also a picture of a WWII era PX store on Ohau where my copy might have come from... -
Superman thread show us yours
Robot Man replied to earlyactions-migration's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Ha, ha, ha... Yes it is! My grandmother bought it for me when I was about 12. She was an antique hunter and I was the only grandchild who would go with her on her "jaunts". She paid a dollar for it. A lot of money for a comic in those days. We were at a swap meet and there it was all by it's self just laying on the ground. I had never seen a comic that old. I had no idea of the significance of it until many years later. A wonderful lady who saw my passion for comics and reading. She spoiled me a bit and rarely said no. I guess she is where I got the collecting bug. Still miss her. -

Robot Man replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Some old photos of current boardies from the magazine. I doubt any would mind because they were published in CBM anyway. These were all SDCC shots from an article on the 1997 SDCC. Even though I was at all these shows, it was always fun to see dealer shots and reviews on the con. A few of them have sadly passed on to the great comic con in the sky... -
Jon made a purchase from me recently. First rate boardie and buyer. Paid quickly with friendly and quick communication. Great follow up as well. Everything you want when selling here. Thanks Jon!

Post your Garage Sale/Flea Market/Antique Mall Finds Here

You’re killing me here Steve. I doubt many know how hard it is to find the early ones. I had ‘em all once but sold off most of them. A feat I just don’t need to repeat.

Any current comic printed using newsprint stock?
Robot Man replied to Aweandlorder's topic in Comics General
True. Very few paper mills make newsprint any more. What they do make goes to newspapers. Even the “throw away” circulars aren’t printed on newsprint any more. The paper industry is hurting bad now. -
You’re talking to Pablo... He just won’t be able to help himself...

Robot Man replied to Ricksneatstuff's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yes he did. It was amazing. I saw Danny’s collection once and I give a slight nod to Gary. Danny had more stuff, but Gary had better stuff. Harry Matesky also had an amazing collection but no comics to speak of. All 3 great guys and very passionate collectors. -
