i stopped collecting when comics went up to 35 cents each as that was too expensive but fast forward to 1986 and even though i didn't collect anymore ASM 252 was all the news , even on tv and radio so i went and bought 5 copies , i still have them , unread and not only that , back then everyone at work new i liked collecting things and they would ask questions and stuff throughout the years and when ASM 252 came out i told everyone at work to buy it and of course hardly anyone did but two people did who didn't even collect comics , both of them bought three issues , i still see one of the guys and he knows what they are worth and says he will give them to his kids , and i don't what happened to the other guy
