Hey! Today, August 8, is Garage Sale Day, celebrated the second Saturday in August every year. Head on out and support your neighbors and friends by buying their unwanted items — or maybe even have a sale of your own! You can also expand your search for great items at a flea market, or just drive through new neighborhoods (you are bound to find at least one garage sale per block on a Saturday)!
Who knows, maybe you will even find a treasure like this…
Batman #191 (May 1967, DC). Art by Carmine Infantino (pencils) and Murphy Anderson (inks).
