I'll post 'em some pics of 'em here when I got time.
A lotta old Marvel books.
One of the original Romance comics from the 1940s.
I'd like to get the collection up to about 500-1000 vintage comic books.
Tryin' to complete a couple of sets right now.
The original marvel superhero issues are on the list.
But it's bit expensive ta collect now.
Nothin's cheap anymore.
Too many collectors, not enough supply of the old books around.
The trouble with collecting is, a person usually runs out of money before they finish collecting a set.

So what happened to the race track?
yeah I remember those 'tings. They were a blast.
Y'ad set up these race courses, then press the electric guns and the cars would run around the track and y'ad see who could beat each other. My brother almost usually won. He was more competitive than the rest of us.
We used to play games with those hockey sets that had the metal handles. Again, my brother came out on top.

I have a hockey game in the wreck room. It's like the table top game I had as a kid except it has it's own stand and an electronic scoreboard. Loads of fun. If you are in Saskatchewan, drop over to the farm for a few games and some barrel wash.

This was years ago Joe, like when I was 10 - 13. I didn't get to bring it when we moved so my dad sold it in a yard sale. My gawd if I had it now it would be worth a fortune, it was a 6" wide track and the race cars were the size of a pop can. My favorite car looked like a Mazda RX7..sweet blue..... (sigh)

Absolutely not. Even running trades employees who are booked off are not allowed to ride the power. It's a liability issue.

I've always wanted to go to one of these Comic cons closer to home.

They soon when to crap after the formation of Image and I stopped buying new books again, but I held onto what I was able to find this time around... about 500 books, mostly Marvel... nothing really worth more than Amazing Spider-man #300.

Yeah, many of the newer comic books have too much going on, too many characters, too many villains, too many sub-plots, too many 'behind-the-scenes' mind games to the point that it becomes a mish-mash and the whole thang becomes incoherent.
One of my favorite issues of all time, regardless of genre, brand or label, was Avengers #2 (1963):
It's about a phantom-like creature who comes from outer space, lands on earth, and scares the heebie-jeebies out of the earthling population by assuming their physical identities. It doesn't matter that the characters are dressed in superhero costumes. The plot is very similar to today's movies or recent TV episodes. A villain has the ability to transform itself into a human likeness such as in
...so in this regard, the writers of the Avengers #2 story were quite advanced, and their ideas foreshadowed stories which would later appear to have borrowed (stole?) from them.

I think there were a lot of brilliant ideas in the plots of Silver Age comic books. Sometimes, they go overboard and forget they're fictitious story elements, especially when they try to incorporate scientific explanations for things like Tony Stark's technology, or how Reed Richards could possibly outsmart aliens that have made contact with many galaxies.

He could have at least given you the comics! I knew a neighbor when I was growing up who would make her son burn his comic books. I felt so bad for himQuote from: "Annie"ac_crying And they weren't religious at all.
There was a time several decades ago when America went on this comic book burning craze. Some 'expert' convinced much of the United States that comic books were inherently evil, so thousands perhaps millions were trashed and then thrown into the bonfire:
Subsequently, this decreased the existing supply of what would become future antiques. So today, quite a number of these issues are extremely scarce where just a handful, perhaps just a half a dozen of some titles exist today. This has conferred the rarity status and hence increased their desireability and value.

He could have at least given you the comics! I knew a neighbor when I was growing up who would make her son burn his comic books. I felt so bad for himQuote from: "Annie"ac_crying And they weren't religious at all.
My dad would have cried if someone burnt one of his Playboys.
Maybe I snagged some of them at this garage sale.
Some women was selling of her husband's old Playboy Magazines for about $5 each. So I bought a bunch.
The ones from around 1960 to 1975 were their best issues, still worth reading, masterpieces in graphic design.
The ones from the 1950s are more valuable, but their content is somewhat stale.
The fifties were defintely a different era which reflected a different mindset which got swept away in the sixties.

I remember them and I cannot say I liked the design of the early seventies issues the old man had compared to modern ones.

They want to appeal to a broader audience and realize that it's easy enough to find nude pictures on the Internet, so they announced they would be ditching the centerfolds and concentrating on the articles.

Correct! As of last month, no more nudes in Playboy.

On some level, it's a bold move... but I think we currently live in a world where unpopular desires also have a significant market. I don't know how well the first Playboy without nudity was received, but I think they might have gotten a more warm greeting if they tried to do something completely different. I think we have enough magazines focused on pop culture already.
What do you think, bro?

I think PB had no choice, but to change. In fact, I am surprised it did not happen several years ago. It's not like it is the only way to get nude photos of stunningly beautiful women. You are right though, that the pop culture mag market is saturated.
What does the future hold for PB in my opinion? Unless they reinvent themselves in a savvy way, I think their readership will decline.

Outside of individual issues featuring someone of particular interest, neither do I.
It really hasn't been collectible as far as a smut publication for decades. I don't think anyone was saving them for the articles anymore.
