I started collecting in Pa with 2000 silver age comics from the sixties and seventies. I added 1000 comics by purchasing Wally's collection. I purchased another 5000 at the flea markets plus 2000 off ebay. Its not a rare collection but Its a big pile. Oh, someone gave me 2000 comics too.

I used to pick up a lot of Fiction House at Golden Eagle comics in Reading. Lem gave pretty good discounts.

I still have a few comics from 1950-55. Most of them probably belonged to my older brother. My Scrooge collection has several early issues that he signed, starting with #5. I have another copy of BW 11, This scan was by someone else.

I usually say my first book was Four Color 291 Magic Hourglass but I don't have my original copy (I cut up the cover). I still have my original Showcase 11 and a Best Western which are about the same age. My collecting habit stared with Showcase 36 and 37 which I still have. I remember buying Showcase 37 at the drug store but none of the earlier books.

The above scan is from Comic Plus but I have my own copy of that page from Tip Top 14.

I am very fond of this page from Tip top 14. Louis is one of my personal heroes.

I purchased FC 263 back in the eighties. It was a little expensive at the time but it had two stories by Barks. I think I have three copies now but only one high grade.
-
I like singles pages when I can't afford the whole book. I found an All Star 4 page in a stack of junk I think. I also have Action and Detective pages.
-
I think two of these were purchased from the local drug store back in the sixties I purchased two more giants after moving to Houston in the seventies (and eighties), I think the giants convinced me to go back and find all of the early comics by Barks.

I like all of those but my favorite early Scrooge story was THe Magic Hourglass. I got the book from my brother and cut out the shark teeth to animate the cover.
-
and I found a copy of FC 108 soon after I purchased the Green Sea Serpent. Pretty sure I purchased 2 copies of FC 147 soon after buying Volcano Valley.
-
I purchased Ghost Morgan's Treasure long before I found a FC 9.
-
The early Barks issues are nice but there are some pretty good stories in the later Duck comics as well.

The British have a similar celebration.

Soup Sales featured Superman cartoons during the lunch break in Detroit.

We had Poopdeck Paul, on CKLW TV (Detroit/Windsor), showing Popeye cartoons. He was a repacement for Toby David aka Captain Jolly.

I tried to repair that wrap-around cover.
