<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2273972, member: 17665"]Absolutely! This was a great collection that had over 100 1940's, 200 1950's and the rest were silver age comics from the 60's. I've been collecting comics (and now sell them) since I was 12 (I'm 61 this year). This was a case of a mother, who's son had been killed in an auto accident who simply wanted them gone as they just reminded her of him. I asked her if she had priced any of them and she said no and that she had no interest in doing so, so I did offer her the opportunity. Most were bagged and boarded and the oldest ones were in no less than fine condition. This does not happen too often. I was also able to buy a box of about 800 postcards at a tag sale for $75.00 about three years ago. Most were very nice and over half were RPPC's from the early 1900's. One was a photo of Larry Gardner from the Boston American Team holding the silver cup win trophy and was signed. That one alone netted me $300. There are good/great things to be found still.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
