I was digging through some $1 books at the flea market when an older gentleman walked up to the resident sports card dealer and asked if he wanted to look at some comics that he bought that morning at a yard sale. The dealer pointed at me and said that Inwould be a much better option to look at them and possibly purchase them. We walked to his car and he pulled a 1960's Mego Cardboard Toy Chest out of his back seat half full of Silver Age books. I breezed through them pretty quick as they were in old bags and all stuck together. I told him some of the better books (I saw no keys) an a general retail value on them. Told him that I'm sure he'll do fine as he bought them at a yard sale. He told me he paid $100 for all of it (he also had a box of about 100 60s baseball cards, which is what he collects). I laughed and said I would have paid more than that and still been thrilled. After about 10 seconds he threw out a number for me to take them as "I have no use for them." I gladly gave him his cash and took them to my car. After we got home from celebrating my son's 9th birthday at Carowinds, I started going through them. This is what I found. 

They aren't all as gorgeous as the Flash 184, but most of them are VF or better.

My LCS opened a new location that I finally checked out after they've been open for several months. Every book they sell at this location is $1.00, they won't sell new releases. I picked up a couple dozen including this... Signed!

A few weeks ago these cards were handed to me at work and I made an offer and purchased.  Original owner cards and stickers.  Good news is today he told me one of his friends has comics that he wants to move on....guessing the comics owner is at least 60 since the card OO was born in '52 and is 65.

These almost look like Wolverton's work.
