Hey everyone! I am from Hawaii and started reading comics when I was 16 (2004) and got hooked on Green Lantern from Rebirth. Didn't start collecting till almost 8 years later when I met a group of guys in the Air Force that shared the hobby. We would all go to a LCS in Omaha, Nebraska (stationed at Offutt AFB) every Wednesday to pick up our weekly fix. I have since left active duty and work as a military contractor/reservist at Hurlburt Field, FL where we have one LCS so I get the majority of my collectible comics online. The first comic I had CGC graded was a Star Wars #1 (1977) and received a 9.2 which I was so happy about, never been too snobby about grades. A few Star Wars books and a couple of ASM are the only Marvel in my collection as the majority are DC and wouldn't you guess it...Green Lantern. Still on the hunt for a Showcase #22 but for now I am content with what I have. Looking forward to learning from this community and seeing all the amazing comics that some of the guys/gals have on here. Just saw the "TOP 5 GRAILS - THAT YOU OWN" thread and someone shared a picture of their 3 copies of All-Star #8 and 3 copies of AF #15...just insane and awesome to see the comics that people have collected in their time. Again, glad to be here.
