Blogoversary! Hurricane Debby

 Today is the 11th year celebration of this blog. Wow! I started to consider writing a post similar to that very first post..... NO PICS! I didn't know how to upload them. I have certainly uploaded thousands of scans since then. 

I will keep this celebratory post very short. I have decided to honor the day with a giveaway. Rules same as always: Be a US resident, follow this blog, and comment (once) on this post. I will leave it open until the end of the week and then randomize the entrants 11x to get a winner. Not sure what the prize will be, but I'll get there, lol. (I GRABBED SOME COOL STUFF TO GIVE AWAY IN JAX). I didn't go to St. Pete on Sunday (not a wise idea to head south to a Gulf Coast Beach area when there is a hurricane brewing out there). Debby done it! No she didn't. All is well (other than wet) here at the home front. 


Now for a couple of scans. Here is one of my recent Ebay wins.





An intact Burger Chef funmeal (never folded box/tray). Nine Braves. Mini discs with cartoons on the back. I waited to post this Ebay win so that I could follow it up with some of my recent COMC gets which just so happens to contain the single discs from the set. You can see those backs then.

  10. Happy anniversary. Keep posting. I remember getting a complete set of those Burger Chef panels back in the seventies from an ad in SCD for like $10. Still have them in my big stuff box.

  13. Happy 11th, John!

    P.S. I'm not in need of much at the moment, so you can leave me out of the contest.

  15. Congratulations on your 11 years. We have had our share of rain here in Central Minnesota. Lots of very soggy areas. Catching up on some reading tonight with the Olympics on in the background.
