| I doubt if I'm alone, but I must confess that as a kid I never bothered to read any of the 2-page text stories in my comics. I read every word of the ads but just ignored the "2-pagers". While looking through my CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #59 the title of the "2-pager" caught my eye..."FARMER BOY" by J.B. Magill. For the very first time I stopped and read it and to my surprise enjoyed it. Now it looks like I have an additional 750+ stories to read. |

| @martymann Amazing what a dime could buy you back then. So when you had a few dimes, and you opted to buy something other than comics, what were some of your favorite things to get back then? |

| The only other true passion I had were BARCLAY LEAD TOY SOLDIERS. These 3 and a half inch gems which were available in every Dime Store toy department were incredible. I collected and played with enough of them to fill two large tin cans still around each packed in a sandwich bag to keep the paint from flaking off...wonder I didn't get lead poisoning. |

| Back from the SARATOGA COMIC CON...very few dealers and very little GA books. Did talk to one dealer who had a CGC Graded copy of ZAGO #1 asking $475 for this 8.0 copy. Said he had it for quite awhile with no one showing any interest in it. |

| It will be interesting to see what amount is bid for ALL WINNERS #4 CGC graded at 3.5 in Heritage's current weekly auction. My copy is CGC graded at 3.0 (0199552001) was graded in January 2013. This was the very first comic book I ever bought back in 1942. |
