    North, going back to about 1970 so I think that was the only location? I'm not sure if headed north or south that day at Logan

    Hey all, Interested in starting to read some Star Wars books and wondering a good way to start without being lost. Seen all the movies and still ahve my Marvel books from the 70's/80's and a few random Dark Horse. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Comics have been a part of my life since I was about 5. Shortly after turning 5 I fell and broke my arm (fractured at 3 but they wanted it to not interfere with any growth so no action). When they x-rayed it was realized that I had a bone cyst and would need surgery to resolve this. I went to Children's Hospital in Boston to have a bone graft done where I met another paitient. He was about 7 or 8 and had just lost most of a leg while trying to ride on the back of an 18 wheeler. I remember meeting him and seeing him in bed surrounded by comics. Needeless to say, my parents bought me a few and the rest was history. I have many other "key" moments throughout the years but one I don't remember came up just the other day with my mom (who is 95 and sharp as a tack). I was not an easy child and even worse as a teen. When I was 7 I really wanted a comic book. No idea what one but I was being a brat, having a meltdown or whatever while my Mom was dropping my Dad off at the airport. Not getting what I wanted, I took off into the drop off areas at Logan airport weaving through traffic heading for the exit ramp. Cut to mom chasing me down before I get run over and losing her on me. She was sharing how mad she was that day and how scared she was that I was going to get hit by a car. All over a comic... Both my parents always supported the hobby over the years regardless of these type of incidents and she also shared that if I disappeared in a store, she knew right where to find me. As an aside, the bone graft was from cadaver bone. For years I would chase my younger sister around telling her I had a ghost arm while making ghost noises.

    Love that newsprint smell, rivals grandma's cooking . I'm rebagging my x-men collection right now and in many cases, saved the original price sticker. I picked up a lot of these for an absolute song.

    What could go wrong? Irrational costly purchases? As long as there is no spilling...

    Most likely my first comics were of the Casper/Bugs Bunny/Richie Rich type and those are long gone. I have an early Superman #275 that is beat to snot from when I was about 8. I certainly read that often. I'll try and dig it out.

    Holy . I spent a good 10 minutes and could barely see the difference with the labels. Those pics of the doctored slab are pretty obvious and I would like to think that when dealing with any high end books like those, I would have things under a microscope. This is concerning for sure though...
