What up comic fans. Long time lurker/collector here. My name's Andrew and first off let me start off by saying I love collecting comics of ALL ages ( Exmpl: Gold, Silv, Copper etc. if the price is right of course). I usually collect Vf/NM comics. I'm a self taught grader/artist (Well yes I can draw....stopped about 20 years ago lol). I consider grading fun. Why ? The thread that had "guess the grade" always had me test my grading abilities. I'd get SOME correct. I'd say 8/10 but still, I always enjoyed that topic. When I find comics/keys, My grading/condition technique has always been "Spine first, and then go outward on the rest of the book". Anyways, I'm just here to chat and talk comics after all it is a hobby right? I currently collect raw books as I dont have a lot of disposable income on getting books slabbed LOL !! I'm also tech savvy and hope to post some pics and other stuff later on as well. In the meantime, Hope you all have a safe holiday !!! Laters !!
