I went to Ball State for my Ph.D. and saw today that they have a comic estate sale in Muncie coming up! Don't ask where I saw it as I just tried tofind it again and could not. But I wish they were doing that in 1995-1998 when I lived there.

Down Muncie way....

This cover really popped on the auction block.

 If we can find a few more hoosier GAers, we'll have to get together.

Met the daughter. Said father is still alive in a nursing home. Didn't have any stories to tell. I wasn't very social with the crowd. Had my game face on until I got in the car and rolled away.

Another high grade survivor.

I wonder what he would have thought of the prices his pile of funny books brought?

Awsome motorcycle cover. One of my favorites. Are you going to slab these?

[Bearcatcoach]

Looks like Steven Spilger in your video....probably bought some of those lots....

He introduced himself as Steve. He was the big winner, I was second, then the guy from PA, Ozzie.
