Brief visit + my haul

[Duncan]

So, I had a very brief Meet this year; more of a drive-by than anything else. The reason was that I had to push on to Philly as soon as the custom auction was done. I don't want to go into detail, but basically I had to kick a squatter out of a house I'm trying to sell. (It seemed a lot funnier on Murphy Brown...)

Anyway, I had a blast while I was there, and got to say 'hi' to a few peeps I see only once a year.


Nice haul this year. I did a partial trade for the prototype Batman lamp; I pieced together Capt Marvel Jr & Mary Marvel; I got some cool stuff from LaserMego; I added Dr Kromedome to my collection, as well as an open carded Penguin.

I also snagged two open carded Robins, an open Batman card, and assorted other Mego wonderfulness. Not pictured is a delicious sloppy joe & hot dog, nor do you see the home-made fudge for sale in the dealers' room :drool_y:.

There were a lot of great customs this year, but my focus was obviously more on open carded stuff. See ya' next year!

Looks like quite the haul. Nice job.

Nice Haul. It Was Nice Seeing You Again Duncan.

Lol, I was on the fence to get one of those robins...
Great haul!

I have to admit, hearing your squatter story at the meet did sound like a pain and sitcomish all at once.

Glad you scored the lamp. It's a fascinating piece and I was happy to have had a chance to see it up close. It did say on the bottom that a patent had been filed... perhaps the mystery can be solved by finding that potential patent claim.

What a terrific conversation piece.

Thanks, guys. Actually, when I read Samurainoir's comments on Friday, I figured the lamp would be gone before I got there. Looking the thing over...I wonder if it is a repurposed beer light. I might troll e-bay periodically & see if anything matches, but that's my initial feeling.
