Foils used to be all the rage 

 

[Awax]

I like this because it doesn’t have the word bubbles like the Reg #1

Laura’s Secret Diary 

 

We still have a twenty some year old copy of that around here someplace.Maybe with the VHS tapes if i'm lucky.

(you know i'm going to have to look for it)

[Awax]

More Maiden this year 

 

this one was at the nuclear blast booth 

 

limited to 666

 

[Awax]

This one was at the heavy metal booth. Again limited to 666 

 

[Awax]

They gave me a free record with every copy I bought at the Heavy Metal booth 

 

a friend went later and said they weren’t doing that anymore.  

 

 

[Awax]

Found another foil

 

[Awax]

Let’s get to the campbells 

[Awax]

I grabbed this when I first got there. 

 

I think this one is exclusive to SDCC .?. 

 

 

As I was buying this a guy next to me bought the last virgin Batman 50

” we will have more tomorrow “ they said 

[Awax]

As I was leaving I walked by the booth and heard the guy behind telling someone else .. “we found some more so if you want one I’d get it now “

 

i asked “can I buy  one?” P.T. Barnum would have been proud.

That’s it for exclusives today...

I did buy a few for my personal collection

 

......

[Awax]

i LOVED all the Krofft shows as a kid. 

 

Everytime i see a H.R. PufnStuff Book or Lidsville etc.. I grab them. I saw this today and this is a BEAUTIFUL book. I have a copy but this is way nicer 

 

 

This terrible picture doesn’t do it any justice 

[Awax]

As I was getting ready for this years con, Digging through boxes .. I realized I have a nice collection of keys and 1st appearances.  Not real high grade but still , books I wanted as a kid but never owned...

I realized I’ve never had a Giant Sized X-Men #1 , X-Men 94 , Incredible Hulk 180,181 or 182

 

a IH 181 was kinda out of range for what my goal was with other stuff this year... so I had my mind set on a 180 ( real 1st Wolverine  ) 

 

i looked around and came across this ..which was in the range I wanted to spend. 

 

Still need to to find a Pre-Code Horror book but this will probably be my big one this year ....

And I think that’s it for tonight.  

 

Ill be back the next few nights with more and I’ll try to take some pictures of the stuff going on inside.

There's a Flash/Speed Buggy special on the shelves now in my LCS. It's new within last week or two.  Didn't remember seeing it before then.
