Sigh, I can't find my missing camera. I was going to take picture of 200 comic books that I got from flea market few days ago, about half of them are very old horror comic books...

I got some old video games from flea market as well, Road Rash 3 for sega genesis, and Cobra Command for NES.
Collecting? It's what I do!

There are about 20 or 15 gemstone EC 1990's reprints (horror, sic-fi, and war). Also a real Two Fisted Tales number 35 EC comic book (year 1953), BUT it's about 1/3 top cover cut off due to getting money back years ago, thankfully whole Jack Davis artwork is still there since title self is destroyed. It's my VERY first real original EC first printing which I'm very proud of! It's worth like only five or ten bucks because it's in bad shape.



Forgot to say I also got vhs tapes, The Andomeda Strain, 8mm, Straw Dogs, Enemy Mine, Prom Night, and Citizen Kane as well.

Pretty awesome. Even with only part of the cover it's cool. EC comics are pretty tough to find. I only own a handle full or so.

Yeah, it's petty hard to find. This seller has like thousands of comic books, this was only one original EC comic I found (it was almost bit a shock to me actually). Paid $100 for almost 200 comic books, I pick all horror comics out, and now he has NO more horror comic books to sell anymore LOL!

nice Galactica stuff Bud! As good as the reboot series was I still love the goofy original series better since it was a big part of my childhood (I was about 7 or 8 years old when it started). The card art on these things is amazing, especially the portraits on the figures!
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

Great Galactica items. Were they from ebay or did you actually find those at a garage sale?

My introduction to BG aliens, beyond the action figures, was when one appeared through a hatch in the "Battlestar Galactica" section of the old Universal Studios tour in Los Angeles. Anyone know what he is? This was January 1984.

Was visiting a fellow collector of model kits. He had the Battlestar stuff and was willing to sell it off...........
