    Hi Roger, thank you and Namman for the fun trip to Koch's. The first Place I ever bought mail order comics from was Grand Book Inc then I switched to Lone Star Comics.

    • @metarog
      @metarog  11 месяцев назад

      You got it buddy. I don’t remember Grand but I did order from several ads back in the day including Robert Bell and Gary Dolgoff. If we only knew back then what we know now.😁

      It was very difficult not to take a whole box of comics. The wife would be on me though so I got very picky. The experience alone was worth the trip though. When your in the area we can try to go if your game. 😁

    I hit the Koch Warehouse HARD through mail order circa 1988-1991, via their pages-long offerings in the Comic Buyers Guide. Their wholesale prices were astonishing and I credit them for MANY of my most-memorable back issue hauls.....and that's saying A LOT. Great video....!! 😃
