Finally starting to run low lol. A few years ago I went to a stamp show in Stevens Point and a dealer must have REALLY had a bad show or just REALLY wanted to get rid of this big bankers box full of United Nations stuff. I KNOW he did not go through ALL the stuff or he never would have sold it so cheap. He had it at $70, then crossed it out and went $50...trying to get someone to buy it. He kept knocking HIS OWN PRICE DOWN... WITHOUT ME EVEN ASKING lol. Ended up paying $35!! Granted, 50% - 60% was literature, so he must have figured all of it was, IDK. But thats where I got all the full mint sheets of Human Rights 1-8, Survival of the forests, hundreds and hundreds of mint and used singles, a small flat rate box sized box full of these sheets - 1000 I think....just UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Sorry folks.....didn't mean to write a book!! lol
Thats what friends are for!! If I ramble on, its probably cuz of all the meds! I just got out of surgery this morning and I'm feeling PRETTY GOOD lol. Doc says surgery went great without a hitch, so a big THANK YOU TO ALL MY FANS FOR ALL THEIR PRAYERS!!!! As for the U.N. deal, ya it was a GREAT DEAL! I went again this year hoping he was their again, but no luck. I did, however, leave the show with so many stock books, stamp albums, stamps, & cover books that I had to put them all in a garbage bag to get them all out in one trip! lol All for under $20! I won a LOT of the silent auctions and won a door prize, too. Plus, my wife and I spent like 2 hours at the 2 cents a stamp boxes picking out some really nice ones! What a blast! Deal of the day was.... hmmm, hard to say just one. Nobody was bidding on stuff! Thank God for crappy weather when you want it lol! Got a mint in package hardcover 1998 yearbook for $1, got a BIG PILE of large size stock books(had to be at least 8 or 10!) for... yup! ONLY $1. My wife got me a Framed 1998 Block of 4 $5.00 Ducks Unlimited Stamps WITH THE GOLD STAMP INCLUDED BENEATH THEM! It only went for $5! Just some really amazing deals! I mean, I really didn't NEED all the stock books, but I also couldn't NOT BID at least $1 on these things! Who knew I would actually WIN THEM ALL! lol............... Sorry.....I'm babbling again! lol
Sounds like another great deal....wish I could have been there with you! Glad to hear your operation went good! If I was State side...I'd pay you a visit! Will continue to say our prayers for you! Friends always! CM
Its great to have friends like you Mike! When I get back and up and running again, I will check my comics for you, too. I know for SURE I have like 5 or so #1 issues of various different Richie Rich comics. My Scooby Doo and Dark Shadows are mid-series comics. I'm 75% sure I have #1 issues of Archie comics, too, like Archie, Archie & Jughead, and maybe #1 of Sabrina, too. I sold my "I Love Lucy" comic for $125.00!! Can you believe it? I know it was valuable, but not THAT valuable... according to Catalog values anyways.... now COLLECTOR values can be way different! Give me a week or so and I will message you and send some pix, too. Friends always!, Mark & Family
