Crimebuster Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I was told that Ted at Superworld began his back issue business after finding a trunk full of Golden Age comics at the dump. Don't know any details though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GACollectibles Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Friend of mine pulled into a dump in the early 70s and spotted boxes of comics that turned out to contain a nice Golden Age collection including Detective 1-35, Action 1-(not sure), Flash Comics 1-(maybe) 40, Fiction House, Fox and many more. The splash page of some of the books had the name "Buck Jones" either written or stamped. He had recently shown me the ad for the Detective #27 from the collection he posted for sale back in the 80s, he eventually sold it to That's Entertainment comic store owner Paul Howley. Here is the ad, probably ran in CBG F For Fake and comicdonna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman76 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It wasn't an official dump, but across the street from where I lived as a kid was woods and a swampy area and people would dump stuff back there all the time. There was an old rusted out VW Beetle in there, lots of old tires, couches, all kinds of rusty metal stuff, old bottles, once someone dumped hundreds of bricks in there and we used them and all the scrap wood and metal stuff to build a fort. But one time someone dumped garbage bags full of magazines in there and one was full of 60s and 70s playboys, that was the first time I ever saw a naked lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months ago on trash day while walking the dog, I found a large 1950's spring mounted kid's Trigger (Roy Rogers) rocking horse on a curb. Lugged it home two blocks and stashed it in the garage.

BangZoom Collection I remember the original pics in that thread - simply jaw dropping Wished I would have saved them purely from the historical perspective. Each time he posted something new was almost unbelievably overwhelming (almost every pic was a massive group shot of piles of high grade Golden Age books, pulps or novels). I really hope he is doing okay as he freely shared tons of pristine material that I had never seen before from so many genres, artists, publishers & authors. -bc Edited June 9, 2018 by bc clarification & add pic porcupine48, F For Fake, nepatkm and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I won’t even touch that woohoo... As a kid, I started out on National Geographic at my grandparents house. Then I graduated to Playboys found in the local liquor store dumpster or purloined from my friends dad. Then the kid next door some how came up with a nudist magazine. I finally gots look at my first “under carriage”. Trouble was, most of the photos were of old ladies and very young girls. Man, we sure have come a long way.
