TV News - BATMAN on American Pickers!

This is kinda funny! Our good friend, the Bat-Fan, saw this on TV awhile back & sent us a photo. It's a scene from "American Pickers" where Mike spots a BATMAN LOGO Surfboard, ha! If you're not familiar with the series it's a TV Show on the History Channel where two "Antique Guys" named Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz search old barns & homes across America on the hunt for Vintage Collectibles & Old Antiques. Personally, I love the show because this job is sort of what I have done for a living for 20+ years. Well, except I spent more time at Estate Sales & Flea Markets. If you have never seen "American Pickers" then check it out sometime, it's a fun show!

Two NEW BATMAN Magazine Articles To Look Out For

In the current ( March 2010 ) issue of "Antiques & Collecting" our friend Fred Grandinetti has written an article on Batman TV Show Collectibles. I have not seen it yet but plan to check it out this weekend. Has anyone seen it? Also, Fred just wrote an article about "Batgirl in The Media" that will be in Movie Collector's World # 742, April 2010. OK, now I have read this story & it's pretty interesting. Basically it just sort of outlines the history of the character & her many different appearances in all kinds of media, like: Comics, TV, Movies, Animation, etc... Look for the Batgirl story later at this LINK!
