Description

Don't even get me started on this one. At one point, I had SIX Keown Hulk covers (seven, if you count the MCP wraparound cover). And now I have ZERO. I guess that makes me six times as stupid (seven if you count the MCP cover).

First, let me apologize in advance for the pain I am about to inflict on all of you. Especially if you are the current or former owner of any of these pieces. I figured since I have a near complete set of Mitch�s old mail order catalogs, it might be �fun� (if not masochistic) to take a stroll down memory lane. But take heart. For even though most (if not all) of these posts will be almost unbearable and cringe worthy to many of you, just remember that 20-30 years from now, these will be the �good old days� to some new collector just starting out.

I�ve gotten many wonderful compliments from the fine people of CAF about my collection/gallery. All giving me credit for being smart enough to buy all the pieces I bought way back when. Well, now I�m about to show you all what an absolute idiot I was. Keep in mind that many of the pieces that currently reside in my collection came from these very same catalogs. So the next time you want to call me a genius for all the pieces I did buy back then, just take a look at some of the rubbish I DIDN�T buy! In other words, this is the collection I COULD�VE had. (Somebody shoot me now! LOL)

What is very interesting to note here is that during this 9-year span of catalogs (1984-1993), there is nothing here that is priced over (or anywhere near) $1000. Actually (with the exception of the Killing Joke page), nothing even breaks the $500 range. Absolutely incredible for pieces that could all easily be five figures (or more) today!

By the way, I�ve got dozens and dozens of these. So I�ll be posting them in chunks from time to time (to prolong the torture).

You're welcome Brian. Glad you're getting a kick out of these. Not sure why I didn't grab this one, along with the six other Keown Hulk covers I got from Mitch. Maybe I thought six was enough. Of course I don't have a single one now. So maybe six wasn't enough. LOL! Appreciate the comment, stay safe.

Seven, if you count the MCP wraparound cover. I know, I know. It's time to watch me kick myself again. I tried very, very, hard to keep my favorite one. But I got an offer I just could not refuse. No regrests, but I do miss that one.

Haha! Yes, for sure! Or at least a warning for those with a heart condition. Thanks for the comment Alberto. Best wishes to you for the new year, and please stay safe my friend.
