Love that story... where is that video I could not find it..
the site should do well as it has everything...
I like it.. also the combo of your writing skills and pop culture
history experience makes it a winner..
I found a place in 1980 the day Reagan was shot... Hirshes bookstore..
the man had made Toledo Postcards and he had 100,000 tucked away in the
store basement.. they where from 30s and 40s sill inmaster cartons. so I
paid 1.00 a box... he said come here sonny and soon I had a van full of
100 boxes of 1000 each.. It wasas so heavy it blew out my rear tires and
I didnt have a spare on my dodge van.. then on the radio as I waited for
a tow truck the rado said the presidents been shot,, and my battery
died... I sold most of the cards still have a handfull..they look like
new..linens and some comic cards..he also had some mint old book stock
and some toys that never sold lke what you found but not as ccool as he
Tom Corbett piece..thats the stuff Popo culture is made of,,:) thanks
for sharing Alan .. keep up the Good job !

Thanks, Tom -
Great story for you on the Corbett ship - About 45 years ago my dad
was going to visit my aunt and uncle before they retired from NC to
Florida. Everyone’s all passed now but me to tell the tale. So I
told my dad just ask Uncle Larry if you could take a look through his
back stock room (they had a little mom and pop shop in tiny town) and
see if there were any toys in it. I was hot on the toys trail in those
days figuring if movie posters were art - then toys were sculpture. So
dad says, I will ask but I know they don’t have anything old. Fine -
Just do it, said.
A week later dad returns. I said. Well? Well? He didn’t say a word.
Just went to the trunk of his big ass Cadillac and opened it - it was
full of toys - among amazing treasures like tin airplanes and toy cap
guns all in the box, were 5 mint Corbett’s in their boxes - My aunt
and uncle’s $2.98 price tag still on them from 1953 - unsold and put
in the back room for nearly 20 years - and that was 45 years ago!
Everything has a story - so am trying in my site to tell those stories
- seems like it gives the material personality - and the pursuit some
meaning. There’s a neat 7 minute film about my folks in the blog
section of my site. More to come in that area - but take a look. I
think you will respond.
Bookmark me, baby, and keep tuning in to the show!

Nice site, Alan. I have to confess I’ve never seen
“Atrocities” and “Epiphanies” as categories on a website
before!
