I always wondered why an auction house was named after a fish. I always assumed it was an acronym. Now I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG paper # 20 Sept. 1972 44 pages total 5 pages of TBG info and self advertising Total revenue from ads ( full, half, quarter, eighth and classifieds ) - $1715 IDK what the subscription numbers were. It must have been a few thousand at two bucks "a year" (or one buck a year if you were connected) you can pad the total with that Not a bad gig. Working at home. Doing something you love. Being the boss , chief, president and CEO That $1715 was 1972 money.To put it into perspective $1715 would have gotten an Action Comics #1 back then. That was bank money back than. Not only was he a true visionary but a true business man.

My parents bought a grandfather clock around 1974 an it cost $500 then it is worthless now but I with they would have bought an action number one instead‼️‼️⁉️ ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I'm glad this thread is still up and viewable. Perhaps it's a plus feature of these "new forums". Direct loading pictures will stay up even if I disappear. I like to use pictures in most of my posts, like my Ansel Adams Kraven thread. When photobucket gave up the proverbial ghost all of that story just about disappeared.
