50 Years of collecting - A great journey with a Great Hobby
Sept 1963 .... Spider-Man #4
It started 50 years ago this month ..I picked up a copy of Spider-Man #4 and I was hooked. Every trip to the grocery store became a major decision on which two 12 cent books I could purchase with the quarter my Mom gave me to spend. Within the next few months I was immersed in a world created by Lee,Kirby and Ditko. Avengers, JIM, Tales of Suspense almost every title kept me reading and finding an escape dictated by Stans storytelling. As the years passed my interest waned in high school but I kept my books and after I was married with children of my own, I rediscovered my old friends and started taking my kids to the comic shop on Saturdays and building on my collection and starting theirs. Years have passed and now my grandkids come over to see Amazing Fantasy 15, Avengers 1, Tales of Suspense 39 and the many runs of books I have accumulated. It is a great hobby and has been a comfort throughout my life. Preparing to submit many old books for grading soon and look forward to continue enjoying this great hobby for as long as I can...
