A LITTLE ABOUT ME. SINCE 1975 I WAS A FRIEND OF FORREST J ACKERMAN ("MR. SCIENCE FICTION," EDITOR OF "FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND" MAGAZINE AND OWNER OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCI-FI, FANTASY, AND HORROR COLLECTION UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2008). I WAS HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT IN THE LATE 70's, WROTE ABOUT 40 ARTICLES FOR "FAMOUS MONSTERS" OVER THE YEARS, DECORATED THE "ACKERMANSION" ON GLENDOWER AVENUE WITH LAMINATED LOBBYCARDS, POSTERS, STILLS, AND MOVIE PROPS, CREATED SCRAPBOOKS FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF CLIPPINGS HE HAD ACCUMULATED, AND SO MUCH MORE. FORRY CALLED ME THE MUSEUM ARCHIVIST OVER OUR 35 YEAR FRIENDSHIP. MY COLLECTING TASTES RAN TO COMIC BOOKS, BUT OVER THE YEARS I MET AND OBTAINED SIGNED ITEMS FROM PROMINENT PEOPLE IN THE FIELD, PURCHASED BOOKS, MAGAZINES, TOYS, AND MORE. PORTIONS OF MY COMICS AND MEMORABILIA COLLECTION HAVE BEEN OFFERED ON EBAY SINCE 2011. PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK.

Note: Due to an eBay software glitch, items on sale usually cannot be combined to create a combined shipping discount. Ask if you want combined shipping and I will combine your items if purchased at the same time and refund you the overcharged postage when they are mailed together. Ask how.
This is my collection. I am not a store. 99% of these original items were bought by me, put in a box, and stored until now. I often bought multiple copies.
