Behind the scenes
our retrorama crew
Ed- CFO
Before he was even a teenager, Ed Tucker was a collector. Starting with comic books and trading cards, he moved on to toys, records, movie posters and more. If asked what he collects today, his immediate answer is “too much”! Ed is a pop culture historian and published author, having written numerous articles for magazines like Toy Shop. He spent five years writing a weekly online column titled, appropriately enough, Retrorama. Ed discovered collectible shows in the early 90’s and was promoting his own just a few years later. He combined his love of these events and all things pop culture when he founded the Retrorama Collectibles Show in 2012 to bring quality vintage pop culture shows to the north Florida area.
