Hi All. First-time poster, so hopefully I do this right.
I've enjoyed viewing others' contributions to this thread, so I thought I'd post my #1-50 Archies as well. I started buying new issues in the 70's up until the early 80's or so. I also picked up some back issues at comic shops and comicons back then. I stopped collecting for a number of years, but then went on a bit of an ebay buying spree in the late 90's and just held on to everything since then. I've never submitted any comics for grading, although the #5 I picked up on ebay was already graded. I have 32 of the first 50 issues, plus a couple duplicates. #3 is my oldest. Always wished I could complete this collection, but the earliest issues are a bit out of my price range now. Here's a group shot.
