Pachinko is sufficiently weird; I'll allow it.

Haven't really done any searching lately. Found a handful of books at the flea a couple weeks ago. Not feeling it, I guess. Oakdale Flea Market... try out there. I went to the last two and was impressed in comparison to the LIRR Flea Market. The next one is June 23 and is sponsored by the Antique Store in the same parking lot. www.rememberyesteryears.com/I went to the one on May 19th to take a look as the Bellmore Flea Market(s) are just no longer my thing. This was a legitimate old school, open air thing that had that New England or Pennsylvania vibe with items ranging from vintage toys, comics and legitimate antiques such as signage to nautical equipment, Marx and Schylling Wind Ups, and antique games from the 30's. I almost bought a vintage ball bearing machine for my basement. Then there is the usual vintage records, magazine and things you would normally see as well as coins. There is a vintage toy store in the lot but that is lackluster in comparison to the antique store and Time Warp toys in Lake Grove. After the Flea Market, head out to Time Warp Toys which is 9 miles away and the Antique Store in the same lot. THAT Vintage Toy store is impressive. I dragged a friend with me last weekend and he wound up buying a vintage GI Joe Airplane and several figures. I wound up picking up a hard to find Lego Baseplate for $10 that normally commands $40-50 + shipping on eBay if you can even find it and a couple of 70's Matchbox cars. Prices vary on the vendor as some believe that certain loose vintage SW figures should command MOC prices but that is an issue everywhere outside of dedicated groups. However, it was worth a trip. I am also winding down though. The only thing I have bought all year are my twice a month Spider-man books and one page of art that I picked up on a whim. This summer I will start thinning the herd. I will have to make the drive out sometime, thanks!

Junk Guy texted me and asked if I had any comics I wanted to sell him, said he's having trouble sourcing new longs the last month or so. I told him I've got a long worth of low grade Bronze and a couple more longs of Copper/Modern for him. I've got a box of magazines that'll fit in with the rest of his store too.
Store credit will be fine, he's treated me right for a few years now.

So I dropped off three shorties and a box of magazines for the Junk Guy today. Two boxes were low low grade Bronze DC/Marvel. He gave me $100 in store credit - more than adequate. He also had about a dozen new longs to look through, but pickings were slim. Only pulled about 20 or so issues, also picked up some other assorted junk. Also hit up a garage sale this morning that advertised comics, it was a bust, nothing good. There were some interesting digest sized cheesecake/nudies from 1962 mixed in. Condition was low or I would've bought them.

1977 was Claremont X-Men for me! I had the fever through at least 1983.

Did some nosing around this weekend, nothing much out there for me. Hit up two garage sales, one had sold them before I got there, the guy said, "I had a box and the guy took them all for fifty cents each. They were Canadian and he was pretty happy." Not sure what that means, they were Canadian price variants? Not something anyone at a garage sale would realize or care about, but nice score dude I guess.
Second garage sale was two nice older ladies who had a bin full of childhood comics, worn out Archies, Richie Rich, etc. Nothing there for me.
Also hit up the flea this morning. I bought one comic and two paperbacks for $7 total.
It's fine, I've got enough stuff.
