Yay.... the packing peanuts are here

There is something about getting mail, sweet lovely mail. I'm not talking about bills or other items that are asking for money. No I'm talking about won bid slabbed comic books. I realized that if I decided to collect a series in 9.8 (New Mutants), or collected a full series (Daredevil) it would get quite expensive. So how was I going to collect?

One of the ways I decided was to get all the comics in my (B)efore ©ollecting collection in a high grade. These comics though were going to be older and therefore more expensive. I recently acquired my first ones, ASM #181, an origin issue. The original copy I have is ripped around the staples, creased and crinkled like a dollar bill after going through the wash, and read more than a teen finding his first Playboy.

It is a wonderful 9.6. I dare to say the copy I have had previously to getting this one would be graded a 3. There are others of course I plan to get, even the DC issues, however they are not as significant as their Marvel counterparts (at least for me anyway). I hope to acquire more as time goes on, but like I said they are expensive. Have fun collecting, I am.
