Popular Post Robot Man Posted February 19, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Not only did I complete two real nice GA incomplete comics today, the mailman also brought me this. Not impossible to get but tough. I have never owned one. I rarely find these comic book premiums I don’t have. This cloth patch replaced the metal badge for a short time during the war to help the war effort. Along with the Capt America Sentinentals of Liberty kit, the Junior Justice Society of America kit is among the best known and actively sought out by premium collectors.

Robot Man Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Got lucky today and got to make it to a flea market. Been a while. Great to just get out and catch up with some buddies. This was a cool booth. Guy had a ton of coin op small machines. Mostly stamp machines and coin op trade stimulators (slot machines). He had quite a crowd. I know not to bother trying to get a score from a pro like him. Nothing cheap here. My second time through he had sold quite a few.

Robot Man Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Comics? Nope or at least nothing other than a few people with moderns. A seller I knew had a large pile of UGs held back but he wanted too much and nothing special. As I walked up to this booth, a guy was leaving with a large pile. He told the seller that comics are sure “popular” these days. There was already a second guy waiting to look so I just took a walk.

Robot Man Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I got that “buzz” when I walked up to this. Figured the guy wouldn’t know what it was. I was right, he wanted $250. For it... Probably my fault. A couple years ago, I bought a large pile of good SA from this guy. He quoted me a price and I paid him. I think somebody tipped him off he blew it. Ever since he has been a little stiff on his prices. I would have loved to score this little piece of EC history.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted February 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 Although no comics, I did make two good buys today. Got this cool tip tray from one of my regular favorite dealers. And another guy I’ve never seen before. He really had quality history, political and sports items. I noticed 3 binders in the back of his booth. Now, next to comics ‘yall know how much I like pinback buttons. These are all from 1905-the 1930’s. Unlike most of his stuff, these were priced real right. The Jeep from Popeye really jumped out at me. Probably from a high school. They often swiped characters and made maybe 50 buttons. The real photo 1925 fire engine pin is also a real good one. Was so great to get some excercise and go hunting for a while. littledoom, KirbyJack, badback83 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never actually seen a first edition of one of these before. Any idea if there are still a lot of these floating around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy the odds of seeing that at a flea market are pretty rare. Too bad you couldn't score a deal on that! I'm jonesing for a trip to PCC even if it's just to walk around and look at stuff with no real intention to buy anything. No word on them opening though.

I didn’t look at the date Gary. @Moondogbut pretty sure it is a first print. I figured $100 tops but didn’t even need it that bad. Besides, I don’t like the guy much so I passed.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 Found this cool artifact from 1960 tucked neatly away today. Have seen very few of these. I can’t imagine a ton of kids wanted to be him for Halloween. Thought ‘y’all might get a kick out of it. Some other cool stuff as well for another day...

Robot Man Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Seems like forever since I went to a comic show. (Jan 2019). Well cases are a lot better here. Had both my shots and I just needed to go... My first stop was this guy. He always has cool books at a great price. Pretty wall books priced aggressively, but I love his boxes. Scored two great books here. Larryw7, badback83 and mlansdown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Glad to see this old guy still with us. No comics but lots of “other stuff”. Never saw anyone at his table. Real sad. Had to buy this 1920’s vaudeville pinback from the Apollo Threatre for $5.!!! Why people don’t even look at these is beyond me... jimjum12, mlansdown and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
