I'm a noob to the site, but I collected extensively from '84-'89.

I have a decent set of the early Miyamoto Usagi books, but my first post on the site was in the Albedo #1 & #2 Club thread here --> My Albedo Collection

In that post I committed to following up with a pic of my Usagi books; so in a flagrant attempt to bump my post count here are the Miyamoto Usagi books:

New here. First post is over in the Albedo #1, Albedo #2 Club thread.   Here: --> Albedo #1 & #2 Club

Have had the collection put away for 38 years, but the Netflix Usagi release compelled me me to pull the short boxes out of storage (that and retirement having finally given me the time to deal with 15 boxes of boarded and bagged books).

First Post here.

Pulling out the collection after 38 years in storage. Here are my Albedo issues.

Have all three versions of the Blue cover #0.

The Albedo #2s have never been touched since the day they were cherry-picked out of the LCS shipping box and mylar'd in '84.

So, yeah, I was one of the 30-somethings who knew exactly what they were buying in 1984.

I bought an Eastman/Laird signed TMNT #1 1st print at the 1984 San Diego ComicCon and sold it in March 1990 right before the movie was released. Got $1200 for it. Thought I was robbing the guy (who's the fool now!?). But that sale convinced the wife to let me keep the rest of the collection all these years. WAF is important.

At that same time I unloaded my Love and Rockets #1. Who knew that even in Los Angeles the staples were gonna get rusty.

Have pretty much kept everything else all these years. As a follow-up I'll post my first run Usagi Yojimbo issues later in the appropriate thread.
