2015 Urban Safari Hunting Hauls (Garage Sale, Antique/Thrift Stores, Auctions...)

[Rallygirl]

Subdivision sales just outside of the closest small town; a rare treat for those of us who live in the sticks. Not much as far as old things, but still a nice pile of stuff for around $30, especially with the stained glass piece.

Not sure why they came out upside. I'm gonna end up keeping a few of the joes and 2 of the carded Chips figures.

Picked this lot up today - value?

Picked this lot up today. I know this is difficult, but trying to justify that I bought it. What do you guys think a ballpark figure would be for this stuff.

I seem to recall those sets being sold on the old QVC Star Wars specials

Being that they came out in the early 90's it is quite possible that they were.

Sweet find. I really hope that Lucas signature is the real deal!!!

Been a long time since I found something this hard to find out in the wild. Russ Cochran Star Wars Slip Case Edition. Signed and numbered by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson. There is also a Lucas signature, but I can't tell if it is real or not. It's not mint...but it is nice and it is a low number. 154 of 2500:






I didn't even know that Cochran had done such a set. I have about 4 or 5 of the EC sets. Bought them when they came out...but this Star Wars set I never had a clue was released. Almost passed it by in the showcase of the thrift store. Funny thing is I opened the 3rd book to take a look at exactly what it was and saw the black and white art and knew right away that it was the comic from the newspaper. Never occurred to me until I got home and started doing some research on Ebay and found out that they were limited and signed. If anyone knows more about this set, especially if the Lucas signature is real, let me know either by posting here or messaging me in the museum. Thanks.

Thanks Gents.

Went to the Rose Bowl's Flea Market last weekend and scored a nice Corgi Bat Boat for $40.

Nice score on the Corgi Batman

I love the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Every time I'm back in Cali to visit my pops, we go to the Rose Bowl.

I know this seller always sets up and sells vintage toys to include cases full of megos.
