srezvan Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I purchased a few items from a sci-fi/fantasy collector selling his personal collection. I found this inside a science fiction fanzine from 1978. It looks like a legit Boris Vallejo signature to me, and I assume this is Conan head sketch. I don't really want to email the seller and ask, but I'd love to know the story behind it. Deadpoolica, littledoom and jsilverjanet 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Black_Adam Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2020 The only thing my wife knows about comics is that her husband has an unhealthy obsession with them. Nevertheless, she grabbed these for me when she saw them at a local thrift store but was concerned she may have overpaid - $4 for the lot. silversurfer275, D2, Morganmi and 22 others 24 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Robot Man Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2020 Local antique store pickups today. Lots of fun inside this box. And the Fireball XL-5 lunchbox is all Wallace Wood art! They we’re putting out a box of modern comics when I got there. Did a look through but didn’t buy any due to my total lack of knowledge about them.

Apparently they were on top of a box filled with magazines someone had donated. She checked the box and found only one other comic - a beat up X-Men and Teen Titans #1 (which she also bought).

Robot Man Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I really doubt my two grand daughters would care about this. They are "girly" girls. I remember when I was about 10 my parents bought me and my little brother one of these Marx Playsets. It was a military one. Anzio Beach? I remember it had a couple of tin buildings, tanks, airplanes, cannons and a ton of army men. We took it out in the back yard and made a "battlefield". Played the hell out of it.

Callaway29 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Quite a few dealers have adopted this methodology with the “because prices change I reserve the right to update my price before selling” type disclaimers. Essentially having customers do a big part of their job for them (aka staying on top of their inventory). I mean, I get it...but...still annoying. littledoom, F For Fake and WeR138 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post srezvan Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 Some completely random purchases recently. Got the pins, Marvel trading card tin, Australian Parade magazine, and Space Man comic from an antique show. Picked up a bulk trading card lot. The D&D cards were unorganized, but I was able to get 4 full sets out of it. The X-Men tins are still sealed. Unfortunately, most of the packs were opened and taped shut. Two 99 cent comics from Goodwill. And some 50 cent LCS long box digging. littledoom, PopKulture, Robot Man and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites
