| @OGJackster German made...painted PVC figurines...15c each in the 1950s... Probably worth like $50 if you have the 12 set with the original box. There is a guy on ebay selling the same set for $75, but nobody is buying. |

| I think the biggest problem is that someone has to want them. The generation that appreciates these characters are trying to get rid of stuff, not acquire more. There's somebody out there, but the demand is low. | ||

I love nostalgic stuff. I say that as I'm watching American Pickers  I just don't have the room for it or I'd get it. There will be a new generation wanting this stuff at some point. Like the old saying, "What's old becomes new again". |

| I've read some Bringing up Father strips. I think it was at the DCM, but it may have been elsewhere. | ||

This was a free gift for hooking a friend up with a Golden Age collection to buy from another friend. This was a free gift for helping the friend find a buyer.  Bought this in the early 80's. I know it's from 1942 with Hitler on the first page.  Picked this up in the 90's it had white pages. It's from 1945.  I have no real desire to collect Golden age. They are mainly just novelties to me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster One friend made about $9,000 off the deal. The other probably made more by the time he sold everything. I didn't ask for anything. I think they just REALLY appreciated me arranging the deal. The Superman book was a duplicate in the collection. He slipped it out thinking it wouldn't make the deal fall through. I wanted to kick the friend that sold the collection. He should have cherry picked the Sensation #1 out of it and kept that. My other friend would have bought the collection with or without it. The coolest books in the collection were the Sensation #1 and a later Captain America issue that retold his origin. I think it was a #59, but I'm too lazy to check. The condition of the books varied widely. Most were in decent condition, but there was a box that had some in pieces. |
