Last fall on a late September morning, I set out bright and early for an estate sale with one particular item in mind. Browsing through the listing on estatesales.net earlier that week, I'd spotted them sitting on a shelf.

Stooges on Film
Warning: This is going to be a wordy post. But I hope you'll agree it has a pretty good payoff.

Sweet 70's Comic Book Finds
As my wife and I were out driving Friday, I noticed a surprising proliferation of garage sale signs in the neighborhood. The weather was expected to be in the 60's on Saturday, so I guess people were going to take advantage of it. So, Saturday morning we headed out for our first garage sale excursion of the 2014 season. The first couple sales were mediocre and I didn't have much hope, but the last sale we attended had some treasures. Among those were some 1970's comics priced at 50 cents. These aren't worth a whole lot, but they're still fun.

What was on TV March 19th through 25th, 1983
It's 1983 and we're entering TV Guide: The Fat Years. I didn't have cable until I got married in the 90's, so all of these extra channel listings were just mocking annoyances to me growing up. They also make for hard scanning, so please excuse the skewing.

Mico Tele-Vue
I found this Mico Tele-vue 35mm slide viewer at an estate sale about a month ago. It's not like I needed yet another slide viewer, but I loved the look of this one. It reminded me of a 1950's portable television.

Maxed Out
When radio controlled cars first came out, I really wanted one, but with their price, it was unlikely I was going to see one for my birthday or underneath the tree that Christmas. Then while dreaming over the J. C. Penney's catalog in the months leading up to Christmas of 1977, I saw it. Max Machine. With a price of $11.44, it was possible I might get it. At least it was worth circling.
