This looks like as good a time as any to jump in here, too.
My name is Vinnie and I just joined up recently. I was a big comic fan and "collector" in the late 60's and amassed a fair sized collection of Silver Age DC and Marvel superhero books - Batman, ASM, FF, Superman, GL, Flash, JLA, etc., etc. When I was in 7th grade my family moved cross country and my books came along with us.
I've looked in on my collection a few times over the last 40 years or so but between having and raising kids and now grandkids, I never had the time to give it the proper attention it deserved until now.
It's been a pleasure to re-acquaint myself with the hobby and to be amazed at the differences between then and now; almost 40 years.
I've lurked here for a while then joined once I realized that the brains of the operation appear to reside here. I have also learned a great deal in just a few short weeks and I appreciate the knowledge I have gained tremendously.
I hope to be worthy participant around here.
