Why are we forced to include a teaser?

The three collections I am solely focused on right now include Western Comics, All-American Men of War and Captain Marvel Adventures. In fact it?s been tough to resist buying outside of those three series. So obviously I?m a big fan of western and war comics, right? Actually, no. I?ve always been a fan of the superhero comics and ignored the western and war comics like Jonah Hex and Sgt. Rock while I was growing up. So why in the world would I collect series that I care nothing about?

If I had my way I?d be collecting early issues of Superman and Action Comics. I?m also a big fan of All-Star Comics, All-American Comics and comics from that era. The problem is that collecting high grade issues of those comics would be prohibitively expensive on my budget. The top collections are way beyond my reach. What I want to do is collect historically relevant comics that fit within my budget where I have the possibility of being one of the top collectors out there. I collect these comics more for comic fans as a way to present something useful and fun. That?s why I try to include images and descriptions for almost every comic in my collections as well as an essay on the history of the series. Finally, I will only collect comics that I believe will at least maintain their value over time.

I do collect Superman and Action Comics with covers that I particularly enjoy or ones I consider historically relevant but I don?t tend to buy them CGC graded in order to get them at a lower price. Those are comics I want because of a personal desire. The other comics I get more for the social benefit to comic fans. I?m perfectly aware that the CGC comics I?m collecting are not extremely desirable but that only means I?m able to afford them. One of the gems of my collection is Action Comics #96 supposedly VF+. It has an awesome cover of Superman playing chess underwater but since it?s not CGC graded I can?t include it. Most of the Superman/Action Comics I?ve read thanks to the Showcase books DC has been releasing but I?ve honestly never even read a single issue of Western Comics or All-American Men of War. So is this a very weird way to go about comic collecting?
