Nov 17, 18  I'm scanning the type of offerings at this yard sale and I see a lot of recent release DC comics and some new DC t shirts some with Sgt Joe on them. I ask how much the comics are and I'm told 10 cents each! I'm getting the sense the seller might be someone special.. I know I've seen that face somewhere before. Once I mentioned his name he told me to take all his comics free of charge! It was Andy Kubert's yard sale! He didn't let me leave without signing his Giant Size Superman!

That's awesome for sure! What a story that comes with the books  and the sig too!

I am growing more and more fond of his work. Ka-zar was awesome. When I am listing books for sale I find myself taking a second look at a lot of Andy Kubert books.

Loving your finds doom! Especially like this one. What a cool guy!

Flea market find a few years ago. I think he was asking $2 each. I made him a deal for the whole pile. A hour or so later, a friend walked up and showed me a similar haul and included was one of those cool Alfred E Neuman mail away busts from 1960. He had to "pony up" to $4. for the bust... Turns out, it was the same guy I hit. Guess he had some more in the truck.

Not comics but one of my better flea market finds. Found this rolled up in a box of photos. Wasn't going to look but something told me to. I started to unroll it and in the bottom right corner it said "Pittsburg Pirates, Spring Training March 1937 Colton, CA". I looked up from the bottom and noticed signatures above the players in different old fountain pens. The last guy on the right was Honus Wagner!. As a coach but what a coach. Also included were several later HOF players like Archy Vaughn, Pie Trainor and several others. I asked the lady the price and she replied it was on the back. In the upper right corner was penciled $18. I just handed her a twenty, told her to keep the change and beat it!

Outstanding!  Do you still have it?

I miss being able to go outside and hoping to find this sort of stuff.

No. I kept it for years but not being a Pirates fan, I sold it to a friend in PA. Sometimes, things end up where they belong.

Me too. I miss seeing my kids and grand daughters much more. 

Was talking to one of my real hard core flea market junkie friends yesterday. We both said the same thing. But we both agreed that we miss our friends out there a lot more than the junk it’s self. 

This whole thing has really gotton me to see life in entirely manner. Maybe a good thing when it is all said and done.

I suspect it will probably be at least 4 months before the flea markets open up again here...

March 4, 2019 Just a $20 original owner flea haul. I was there hours after initial set up. The individual I bought these from said he'd be back every 3 months or so. Unfortunately I've never seen him since.

My daughter is in the same boat. She goes to work and her kids go to pre school. Now they are all home and she is losing her mind. Just got to set new routines and learn to live with it...

I actually got a little score about a week ago. Was looking at my estate app. As I figured, most were canceled. Saw one that had pictures of stuff for sale. One of the photos showed these.

Crappy photo but the person didn’t seem to know anything about them so I inquired via email about condition and price. Heard right back. Negotiated a little and agreed to dive about 30 minutes to meet him. 

Got off the freeway and immediately noticed cops every where. Kind of weird. Pulled up and the guy was waiting out side. He put them on the roof of my car. I took a look. They were VERY nice. I put the cash on the grass and stepped back. We chatted a bit about how weird this was and I was on my way.

Seemed kind of dangerous but fun. Never thought I would get a score like this during a pandemic!

Cops probably saw you and thought drug deal going down, not important like Covid, carry on!
