Host Ralph Kovel finds old newsstand periodicals for sale at the Renninger's flea market in Mount Dora, Fla. One example is comic books from the early 1900s. These aren't the traditional super-hero comic books, but older larger-size books that feature Buster Brown and Peck's Bad Boy. Their prices ranged from $200 to $650!
Large antique books such as Peck's Bad Boy shown here are a favorite with collectors because they're rare. This one sells for $235.
Buster Brown Pranks is tagged at $650.
Sam and his Laugh is priced at $550.
Old magazines are also popular collectibles.
This Saturday Evening Post from 1957 originally sold for 15 cents, and is now priced at $25 because it's in mint condition.
A copy of Liberty magazine from 1938 originally sold for five cents and is now tagged at $35 because it has Snow White on the cover.
Covers featuring movie stars seem to be the most popular of all, especially with collectors of Hollywood memoribilla.
This Pic magazine with Joan Crawford on the cover is from the 1930s. Back then it sold for 10 cents, but now it sells for $25 because it's rare.
