Blue binder of vintage comics with Marvel sticker
I found a blue binder full of vintage comics this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave. The binder is mid-sized, a bit scuffed, and there's a gold foil sticker reading 'Marvel 1977 Annuals' on the front cover. Inside are about 25-30 issues from the 60s to 80s, mostly Marvel titles with yellowed pages and a few loose cards tucked into the sleeves. A small red sticker with the initials 'LS' and a faint pencil note on the inside cover—'L.S. Bloomington'—feel like clues from a serious collector. I'm glad to help reunite it with its owner; it clearly means a lot to someone.
Teal-and-white hand-painted ceramic vase
I found a teal and white hand-painted ceramic vase this afternoon around 4:15pm outside the IU Bookstore on Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington. It's about 6 inches tall and 3 inches across, with a glossy glaze that swirls from teal to white. The rim has a tiny chip, and there's a faint cursive 'M' painted on the bottom. It looks like it could have been a gift or a favorite decorative piece. I spotted it on a bench near the bus stop by the Sample Gates as I was heading toward the Bloomington Farmers Market area. If someone recognizes it, I’d really like to return it to its owner.
Blue Wilson tennis racket with neon grip
I lost my blue Wilson tennis racket yesterday around 3pm near the Monroe County Public Library on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington. It's in decent used condition with a few scuffs on the frame and a neon-yellow grip wrap I added myself. The racket has a tiny dent near the throat and a small scratch along the edge, plus a sticker with my initials 'NJ' on the butt cap. It means a lot to me because I used it every week and it was a gift from my coach last year. If you found it, reach out — I really need it back.
Found decorative ceramic vase near Bloomington Library
I found a decorative ceramic vase this afternoon around 2:30 pm outside the Bloomington Library on Kirkwood Ave. It's a small, teardrop-shaped piece, about 6 inches tall, with a glossy cobalt blue glaze and tiny gold flecks that catch the light. There's a hand-painted sunburst motif on one side, and a rough, slightly chipped base—likely from a fall. I picked it up and set it on a nearby cafe table in case someone is missing it, hoping to return it to its owner. If you recognize this vase, please reach out; it looks fairly new and has a sentimental vibe I’d hate to see go unclaimed.
