Description

Yeah, for me, this one hurts. Really loved this story. Also, two of my favorite artists. Sigh!

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).

If this was still the same price, I would fly to Ireland and fight you for it. LOL

But you would have to self isolate for a week, giving me plenty of time to preapare suitable traps and defences. I believe I would win. I mean, the Vietcong beat America with limited means and you will have no army with you.

Yeah, I think you're right. And you wouldn't even need to prepare defenses. You'd win because I'm in my 60's and have not been excerising at all during the pandemic. Then again, maybe you'll feel bad for beating up a weak, old, man and just give me the piece. LOL
