it was a really good interview. Mark talking about AFA was cracking me up though!

I must admit I got pretty quiet during the AFA talk, Mark likes it, I don't.

I could tell. "Uncirculated" may be a big deal in SW collecting, but I don't think there is much interest in the Mego collecting world. Sure, I'll get excited about a nice, minty box, but I wouldn't pay a premium for an identical minty box just because it's "uncirculated". It's not like it's untouched by human hands, I'm sure a bunch of people handled a boxed Mego before it finally went into a shipping case.

Perfect timing, my podcast Q was getting low. My earliest recollection of Mego being pricier were also the early 90's. I had Batman and Superman briefly both costing me about $100 each at the time. Definitely remember the FF on closeout at Child World. but at that point in my childhood I had mostly moved from Megos.

Excellent interview. Wow, loved the mention of Circus World, my all time favorite toy store as a kid.

Such fun to listen to! Great stories, I'm still laughing about Mike and the Big Apple Show.
