Contemporary Bums
A huge find for me recently (aside from a complete Playboy Playmate can puzzle from 1967 for $10, and an original Hardy Boys metal lunchbox without a single dink or rust spot for the same price), were these 5 Hallmark Contemporary "cards" from the 60's featuring outstanding Coker hobo artwork with funny little, timely quotes about automation, beats, happiness, and giving. I say "cards" because they're not greeting cards, but instead tall, glossy standees, with an easel style flap on the back that you pull out and fold down, so that these dirty little bums can really stand on their own while cracking you up with their hysterical expressions and fashion sense!

Whoa, these are amazing (and another set I've never seen before). I think I like the first one best, but it's such a close call I can't say for sure. I do know my favorite part of each image is the shoes.
Haha a goof off machine. Cute cards! But I wanna see that Hardy Boys lunchbox!!!!!
Those are the best drawn shoes of all time, Mr. C! haha
Hardy Boys lunchbox-- up next!
From hippie to grunge, fashions sometimes don't change much, just the name of the trends.
