#mailcallmonday Here's another Dave Stevens pickup for this year. The Vanguard Illustrated 2 is lower grade, but I got the pair for $22. #davestevens #comicbooks

Interesting that there's no Aquaman. Is not dead fish + saltwater a pleasing aroma?

Picked up Uncanny X-Men 269 and 274 over the weekend at Comics, Cards & Collectibles in Canton, Ohio. These feature the first appearance and first cover appearance of Rogue's iconic Savage Land costume.

I'm looking forward to getting them cleaned up and giving them a spin. The shopkeeper packed up everything really well, so they would survive the trip home. I highly recommend Catnip Antiques if you're ever in the area.

Well, to bury the lede, the most exciting record I picked up was Blind Lemon Jefferson, Black Snake Moan / Match Box Blues (Okeh, 1927). I'll show off the rest of my pickups soon.

There were some great records for great prices, but I had to carry my purchases in my backpack for my flight home, so I had to limit myself. After looking through five boxes in the back, I only grabbed one more.

I found a couple records in the bin I had seen in the photo, and after chatting with the shopkeeper (I think his name was Matt), he asked if I wanted to go through some boxes they just got in and were in the back.

By a strange coincidence, I was in Greenwood, South Carolina, for work, and the antique shop was on the way back to the airport.
