Went to the winter home of the local flea on Sunday morning. I got there late so no real goodies to be had, just a bunch of sullen sellers with no one there shopping. I did find a handful of pulps that weren't very desirable but they were in good shape and maybe there'll be something about them that warrants picking them up - Lou from Bakersfield Collectibles gave me a deal of $15 for all of them (5, one without a cover).

A trip to the Junk Shop this morning, the owner texted me and said he had some new comics. There were six longs and six shorts, not too much im my wheelhouse, bought about 40 comics. Also found a handful of paperbacks and a big reference guide called The Science Fiction Encyclopedia. If I wake up early enough I might stop by the flea vendors' winter venue again.

Going to the HotFlips local show Sunday morning. It's an old school 90s throwback - $5 at the door of the American Legion with local vendors and a handful of artists.

I went to the winter home of the local outdoor flea this morning and there was a seller who had ONE comics - it was the infamous Alf with the seal cover, CGC 9.6 newsstand with a $600 price tag!

The local show was way too big to try to tackle in the two hours I allotted today. I made it through two dealers, spoke with Bob Storms from Highgradecomics for five minutes, gave my apologies to Charles from HotFlips on my way out the door that I hadn't even perused his wares, and that was it. Lots of energy, lots of buying and selling. Bob's inventory elevated the room ten-fold, just amazing. Local dealers trying hard to bring the goods, kudos to their passion! I ended up with a big armload of my usual nonsense - post-2000 Marvel and DC newsies, other newsies, pre-Unity Valiants (I can't and won't pass them up for $2 or less no matter how many I may have; it's a sickness), couple DCU issues, smattering of other junque.

"Youve been promoted-here's your red shirt" "Uh, can I get demoted instead?"

There's a Far Side where they try to ride off into the sunset and get badly burned...
