MN my whole life, 10 minutes from Robbinsdale for the last 15 and never heard of it.
Fawcett moved from there probably waaaaay before you were born and eventually set up in NYC. Their main Character (Captain Marvel starring in the most recent movie 'Shazam!' ) became more popular than Superman and DC Comics sued them and won, thus owning the characters but unable to use the name because during the time the Character was in limbo, Marvel Comics snapped up the Captain Marvel name ( ironically in a blockbuster movie by the same name, and about to be in Avengers Endgame) and DC had to suck it up ever since by calling his book 'Shazam!', although he is the original Captain Marvel.
Being a movie-guy, thought you'd be interested in that stuff.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
