Nya Nya Nya Nya... hey it is a teaser line

I am about to find out how my internet is working. The last post I um well posted took forty minutes after typing the thing. Let's see what happens now. Thank you to Surfer 99 and Lee K for thinking of me and filling some space....horror covers huh? Anyway back to me regularly scheduled post.

I bought a comic book and I don't know why. The cover is not magnificent. It is not a key issue. I have no idea how many points it will give me on the registry. I know I can look but I am not going till I enter it into the registry. In fact the only reason I even bid on the book was nostalgia. I have a finite amount of books that i had as a kid and have no idea how I received them. Were they gifts or something to give me to shut me up. I never did color well. The book was low in bids and I figured....why not?

Recently I missed out purchasing on an Action #507 (and whoever has it if you are on the registry...please enjoy that book) which was another book from my pre-collecting days. This makes me wonder if my affinity for the books I had will change the way I collect? Will I be able to stop at the one book or will my completest desire have me harrowing for more. I am so close to completing my New Mutants set and as close as I am to completion I am so much further from completing a graded Daredevil set. So why am I pausing to purchase an Incredible Hulk issue with a giant foot? Can I stop with this one? Or am I that addicted I won't be able too?

After NYCC when I had the option to purchase a Daredevil #43 in a 9.6 (kicking self?) I still had some cash in my pocket. I took a look at what e-Bay had to offer on my phone (once again...we will see how long this new portable USB device works) and I bid on two books. I won both. These books, as with every other purchase brings me closer to breaking through the 500 barrier but I feel if I start collecting for points alone will I lose the love of collecting.

When I get the Incredible Hulk #244 I know I am going to be proud to have it (will have to find a raw issue to read) especially since it is signed but will I have to start searching for #245 (another nostalgic issue)...or 107....maybe 181.... #377....or.....

Thanks for Reading
