Thanks for the tip! I'm all honesty I buy and read comics as a hobby and don't really care much if my comics are valuable or not. I know the hobby is full of investors and whatnot, but I'm just a collector who enjoys to read and treasure my books. Maybe someday I'll buy a couple key issues for long term value, but I've always been a "for fun" member of the comics community. I will say though, there are quite a few comics going for $7-$10 that were being sold on sites like My Comic Shop for $1.99 just a few years back, so it looks like this hobby has seen some peaks during the COVID years. Crazy!

Hello, everyone! Newbie here just popping in to introduce myself to everyone. I'm a long time comics fan and I've always had comics around when I was younger and bought some issues here and there as a kid in the 80's and early 90's, but didn't consider myself a collector until 1994 when I put a complete run together of The Tick. That was the first time I actively cared about having a collection of comics and felt the need to have the entire run in bags and boards. Once I completed that collection of Tick comics it would be about another year until I fully got going with my collection and dove deep into the X-Men catalog and collected anything/everything with a X on the cover. For years I was lost in the world of X-Men and in 2998 I branched out and began buying a ton of other books and got heavy into Ultimate Marvel and Crossgen Comics in 2000. I made a huge mistake and eft the hobby of buying single issues in 2004 when I sold off my collection in favor of TPB's, but now I'm happy to say that I'm finally back in the saddle and looking to buy some of my favorite books.again, as well as hoping to discover new books as I build my collection up from scratch. Let the adventure begin!
