An Irrelevant Question?
This has nothing t do with my CGC Interview other than to give me time to edit the next entry.
My father asked me a scary question. It was a simple question; one I had an answer to but not readily available. I stalled telling him as such. Once I got home I would call and let him know. He wasn't falling for it. He asked again. How much do you spend on comic books a month?
It wasn't fully unexpected. He's my father and prone to worry. His main concern is how much I'm spending in general but he knows that I have no greater luxury than my comic books. He stated a dollar amount and I stalled again. I needed to know if he wanted me to include the month of June because the amount he wanted to know about was the same as what I spent at Wizard World Philadelphia 2011, in one weekend.
Every purchase I keep track of, that is if it has anything to do with comic books. I became curious how much I truly spent. I keep track of all my bills so why should my comic books be different. The last six months of 2010 I spent almost $4000 on CGC books. At the end of the year I'll finally have that number for a full year, this year, for anything comic related.
I think the last six months of this year will be spending more than the first six months, even with Wizard World over. I am dying to make a large purchase with money I don't have, but I need to be patient because I haven't seen a Daredevil #168 in a 9.8 with white pages show up recently.
I hope my Father doesn't ask me this question again when I have my paperwork in front of me because I won't lie to him about it. At least this time it is different than when I was a kid, now I can backup my purchases with the reasoning that my comic books are more than my hobby, they?re also my investment.
Thanks for reading
