I'm on vacation, so I was watching local TV at a time when I normally would be at work and saw a commercial for a Comic Shop/Used Bookstore that I had never heard of. I decided to swing by while I was out this afternoon.
They have a ton of Comic T-shirts that I haven't seen before. Great stuff.
Unlike other Comic Shops in Oklahoma City, they had a decent selection of Toys. In fact, this was the first time I have seen EMCE stuff in a Brick and Mortar store. I already had all of the figures they were selling, but still, it was cool to see EMCE in a store in Oklahoma City.
Their back issue stuff seemed a little pricey at first, but as I thumbed through them, they were all in awesome condition. I found All-Star Squadron #34 and #67 that I needed to replace some raggy place holders in my collection. Average price was $5 on them, but I couldn't have found them anywhere else without paying shipping. It all came out even and I am relieved to have that finished. Been waiting awhile for those two. I also picked up Annuals 2 and 3 that I did not have before, so now I have a complete very good to fine run of All-Star Squadron. Only been working on that since 1981!
As I was paying, the clerk asked how I found them and I told her about the commercial. They all started with the high-fives because this was the first day the commercial had run.

but alway i called a friend of mine who sells toys on ebay saying there's this comic shop in the middle of nowhere and it's looks likes from the 80's (i was thinking there was going to be megos and super powers figures) and the place would be so hard up for cash i could offer them whatever i wanted too and they would take it. but after finally going there it looked like they just opened the place less than 2 years ago and they had nothing vintage. it was just the building that looked old.
