Hello all!
I posted a couple thread in the "Please Grade My _____" forum and was directed here to introduce myself.
When i was 6 or 7 (1984) my grandfather gave me a coverless trade of the Dark Phoenix Sage he had bought at a goodwill for a dime. I had read some random Batman, Superman, and Captain America comics before that, but after that story i was hooked. I then collected mostly Marvel, but some DC as well until I was 16 or 17 and took a break for a little while. Once i went to college, I hung out at the LCBS but most of my interest was focused on card flipping and playing the Star Wars CCG. I started buying again after college, the first was The Astonishing X-men and then Civil War...Then i started reading Y: The Last Man and Criminal and began to follow writers more than characters. Vaugh, Brubaker, Johns and a few others had hooked me again...
Recently, I have been moving stuff around and all of my old long boxes and I opened them up and looked through them. I dont know anything about grading and condition, so I came here to learn some more about it and see what i have that is worth being graded.
I hadn't seen a good, active forum for discussing comics, so, hopefully I'll be able to participate here!
I'll see you guys on the boards,
R2
