LOL! Oh yeah, There was a guy I used to work with that had a garage full of old still packaged Starting Lineup figures. He was selling off his collection and though all the really good ones (the Michael Jordan’s) had already been sold off. I was able to go through and grab a few. He was selling em for $3-$4 a pop which is what they went for back in the day so I picked up a few. I games some away a gifts over the years but I still have a few of em.

LOL, Those are Kid Robot. I prefer them to Funko Pops. I have some South Park, Futurama, and Simpsons ones too. They are usually sold in blind boxes new but you can find most of the common ones for a reasonable price on eBay.

That’s what I thought they were! I have a few of them too, but couldn’t find that specific Gene one off a quick search. I’ll hit the Bay to try and snatch one
 
The Tubby Hayes Quartet - Mexican Green (Fontana, 1968 First Mono Pressing)

This is a key record in Tubby Hayes' discography and almost acts as a bookend to his most experimental and strongest period of music.

Monk!: Thelonious, Pannonica, and the Friendship Behind a Musical Revolution by Youssef Daoudi
West Coast Jazz by Ted Gioia
Hard Bop: Jazz & Black Music 1955-1965 by David H. Rosenthal
Dizzy Gillespie by Raymond Horricks
Gerry Mulligan by Raymond Horricks

Some more fantastic books to read. The Monk looks killer, it's a graphic novel presumably of the pianist's life. The 2 Raymond Horricks books are part of this great jazz series of mini-biographies.
