I turned the picture cause they had the comics upside down. Here is a close up can you see the new adventure and the Detective 6

I believe that these are the three DC's:

Yup your right. I blew pic up and see the fence and the H. Great job @RareHighGrade

 

[telerites]

Not mine but based on RHG's posting and dates of his books, The Spider pulp is this I believe

That is some tough competition for your thin dime back then! I think I might have plunked down my dime for some pulps over these comics if I were standing there!

Here is a photo from the past for the new year. How many of you remember the old days of box diving for comics that had no bags or boards in packed orange boxes?
This is a photo of kids box diving for comics at a California flea market from the late 70s or early 80s. Could this be at the Rose Bowl flea market? Maybe Robotman or members from southern California might recognize the background. I don’t think you’ll find too many 9.8 books in those boxes. Look at those magazines, Treasury editions and mid 70s DC & Marvels.

I hope all of you will find what you are looking for in the new year like these kids and have a safe and happy new year!

Long Beach Veterans Stadium - maybe their monthly antique swap meet?
