Very true. At the first comic mart I went to, here in England in the late 70s, I bought Conan 25 to 40 or so, pence copies, really nice condition, immediately on entering - and that was it for the day, no more money to spend. Too enthusiastic. Nothing really that special even back then, but nice to be able to continue on after completing the BWS run. The one big difference between then and now, for me, is that I tend to forget that the events used to stink of nicotine and cigarette smoke in those confined rooms.
