The front cover of Eerie Magazine 1972 Annual is great but the ad on the back cover is pretty awesome too!

I'm trying to diversify my listing in my little store on eBay by offering some pulp magazines. I love the scandalous covers and provocative story titles!

Commander Montgomery Scott, the chief engineer of the Enterprise and my favourite Sci Fi character. I always admired his ability to get the ship running again just in the nick of time.
Outer Space's favourite Scotsman was played by James Doohan, a Canadian of Irish descent.

I just listed this silver age X-Men comic book this afternoon. It got 23 views in a matter of hours and sold this evening. I've never experienced anything like it on my little eBay store!

Hopefully, the troops quickly realize there's no civil disobedience to quell and no crime wave to stop. I hope they get to enjoy some sales tax free shopping, some really good coffee and craft beer.
Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

One of the items I used to sell at vintage and antique markets was West Coast First Nations art. I'm a big fan of wood carvings.

I made my first eBay sale to a buyer in the US since 35% tariffs and the end of de minimus exemptions. It's a $6 comic book, originally printed in USA, but I was notified that a required security check has delayed delivery. Red tape will cause more harm than the actual tariffs.

I learned a lesson this week when an auction house sent me 2 silver age comics I won.
Wrapping the comics in shrink wrap and packaging them in a manila envelope is probably not the best way to ship vintage comics. (I ship my books in a cardboard shipping box)

I had a handful of vintage Fangoria magazines lying around so I listed them on my eBay store. Less than an hour after listing them, buyers started buying them. Help! I need some more 1980s Fangoria magazines!

Nothing says retro cool better than a Lee Storm Rider. There were two types of buyers for my Jean Jackets at the vintage shows: teen girls looking for small and extra small jackets and middle aged men looking for extra large or extra extra large sizes.

I bought a lot of vintage neckties to sell at the antique and vintage shows.
Not a big seller. Not even the business men wear ties any more in this part of Canada: it's all about business casual.

Man, it's hard to get information about golden age comic books. Who was the writer? Who was the artist? Who did the cover?

In 2017, my wife and I went to Scotland where I learned to love a good single malt whisky. I bought a bunch of booze and bar related stuff to sell. it turns out the man cave/basement bar era is over. I cleared out most of the stuff but I kept the pub jugs. NFS.

Dell/Gold Key photo covers: Yes or No?
Personally, I prefer a nice painted cover.

Chalet Glass was Canada's contribution to mid century modern. Sadly, in this age of small one-bedroom condos, people don't have room to display them. Still, you can't deny it has that cool retro vibe.

I've recently added some Dell comics to my little store on eBay.
I'm old enough to remember watching the Beverly Hillbillies when I was a little boy. Too bad the jokes haven't held up well.

I'm a big fan of mid century modern. In my vintage show days, I rehabbed some teak furniture and these Eames chairs.

I started collecting comics again in the 80s. Comic shops were springing all over town selling DC and Marvel titles, of course, but also books by new Indy publishers. Most didn't make it but the Turtles carry on, Cowabunga!

Back in my antique and vintage show days, I got into art glass. Turns out it's a hard sell.
