5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Close Encounters of the Third Kind vintage shirt- (eBay Link)

I could easily fill my house with vintage shirts I can’t wear. Even when I’m not a big fan, it’s a neat little time capsule.

Matchbox Fighting Furies Ghost of Captain Kidd figure (eBay Link)

Ladies and gents, one of the coolest action figures of the 1970s, and I don’t own one. Seriously, check out how cool this glow-in-the-dark Pirate Ghost figure is.

Hasty Dracula wind up bank (eBay Link)-

I’m not sure what the connection is between Dracula and a bank, but I don’t care; this looks fun. Saving is going to be easy now.

Little Lulu Ironing Board set (eBay Link) –

Not ashamed to admit I’m a big fan of Little Lulu comics and enjoyed passing that love on to at least one of my kids. It’s rare to find merchandise, and I kind of think it’s funny that the one i did find is Lulu doing housework, just like she rarely did in comics!

Santa and Snowman Candy Head Display (eBay Link)

What I love about things like this is they were a “blink, and you’ll miss it” piece of childhood. Even if you didn’t see it back in the day, the energy this thing gives off is magical. Look at those cheap, hastily painted Santa heads, glorious.

Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got 7 issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.
