Hello everyone. My name is David and I have been a comic book collector / reader since 1962 (yeah...I'm old) and an OA collector for about 15 or so years now.
Although I had heard of 'the boards' from some of my comic book collector friends, I had never discovered them until recently when a friend of mine mentioned that a photo of me appeared along with others pictured at an 'American Association of Comic Book Collectors' (AACC) banquet 1997 in a recent post under 'Comic Book Marketplace Memories' from that magazine during its Gary Carter heyday. Since discovering these forums I have been trying to educate myself to how things work around here. I hope to wear the title of noob well. I appreciate this new education that these boards have provided and the members that post here. Most of my collecting is all over the place just the same as when I was a kid, which was anything that I could get my hands on. I don't participate too much in the modern comic arena. My main interest is Fox GGA (and older GGA in general), Silver Age DC some Marvel and most any comic that has good art and stories. I am amazed at some of the comics and art that are continuously posted here. I have been posting to Comic Art Fans for a few years now so some of you veterans may have seen some of my 'stuff' from there.
About 10 or so AACC members locally in San Diego still get together a couple of times a year (some of them being 'boardies'...that's how I heard about this) share pizza, comics and good times.
It's good to be here.
