Four years with nothing and now this!

I have been collecting CGC comics for four years now and havent actually met any of the other registered collectors until the last week.

I have now met two other members in the past seven days! I met with "Tnerb" last weekend for the Baltimore ComiCon (see my previous journals) and now I have met "Tom Skahan", another fellow CGCer (and his lovely companion) who was on his way through Tallahassee on his way to Orlando.

He stopped here in town, after an unexpected detour(), and we met up for an early dinner right next to my condos. If you examine his collection you will find that he is a Dell, Gold Key, Star Trek and Harvey collector.

I too am a Harvey fan and thoroughly enjoyed spending some time talking with both of them about Star treks and harveys. I took a few issues for him to hold, including a Spooky Spooktown that it turns out I outbid him on! , small world.

We also exchanged a couple of comics. He gave me a 9.6 graded copy of Casper's Ghostland 82 that I did not have a copy of, and it just so happens that I had brought a 9.6 copy of casper's ghostland 48 that he did not have.

WHAT A TRADE!!!

He even had a black and white photocopy of me and Tnerb holding our prized babies in Baltimore included with the comic! .

Anyway, it's really wonderful to have these rare opportunities to meet and speak with fellow collectors who share the same passions as myself. If anyone else ever happens to be passing through, let me know and we'll see if a meeting can be arranged.

I would consider it an honor to meet any of you guys!

Thank you, Tom Skahan. May you and your family be blessed.
