After having been stricken down with a sour gall bladder, I make my triumphant return with this gem - Murder at the Ingham County Fair!

This Richard Baldwin is signed and inscribed to Matthew (do you know any Matthews who love Ingham County?) and tells the tale of the murder of Judge Winston Beckinridge who was murdered at the fair! Given that fair season is just around the corner, what better way to get into the summer spirit than with a riveting locally themed mystery? For $10 + shipping, this can be yours!

Note: A quick Google search reveals that there has never been an actual murder on record at the Ingham County Fair.

Condition: Book shows minor wear and has some dirtiness inside the front cover.

Each year during move out students leave behind rugs, furniture, rugs, mini fridges, rugs, microwaves, rugs, and in some cases beautiful treasures like this! This item celebrates Kobe Bryant and appears to be a poster of sorts, but it is slightly puffy like a pad for a computer workstation. It measures roughly 16" x 48" and can be yours for only $20 + shipping!

Condition: A few folds but overall in nice condition!

This unlikely comic features the first appearance of Deadpool in February 1991! Get your hands on the emergence of the wise cracking Deadpool for $225 + shipping coming tomorrow to the website!

Condition: Comic shows light wear with normal signs of careful reading. Minor edge and corner wear present. Probably not a good candidate for high end grading, but still a nice book.

Have you ever spoken with someone and determined them to be a terrible but oddly doggedly determined liar? They tell the most ridiculous lies that no one could possibly believe and you wonder, how could such a person persist in being such a terrible liar and keep at it time after time?

"On Bu****it" posits that there is a difference between a liar and a "bullsh*tter". A liar is trying to stop you from finding the truth whereas a "bullsh*tter" is not really concerned with this - they exist untethered to reality! On Bu****it was first published in 1986 and has been republished numerous times since. Help wade your way through the BS for $10 + shipping!

Condition: This book shows light wear from age and use but is otherwise in great condition.

As I rifled about on my desk today looking for the next great Surplus find, this book caught my eye. It is an autobiography of MSU great Duffy Daugherty who was the last football coach to bring a national title to East Lansing in 1966. Duffy was also the MSU coach for the famous "Game of the Century" versus Notre Dame ending in a 10-10 tie. This particular copy is also signed in glorious green marker and inscribed to "Tom" and thanks him for his support. Tom is probably not Izzo, but what if it was? Anyway it's not but it's still kind of fun. Take this classic piece of MSU memorabilia for only $30 + shipping!

Condition: Book and DJ show wear and discoloration from age. DJ has a few minor tears. Binding is secure.
