    It has been some time since I logged onto CGC and your post caught my eye.
    First of all thank you for sharing the struggles you've been through, much hope and success in your life.
    Those are some awesome books. Here is a shot of just the few books I have at home. My whole collection is in storage.
    Happy hunting and collecting.

    The worst thing about collecting is not collecting...I know it sounds weird but it's that  inbetween time between a purchase and saving up for the next purchase. I think in 2020 I went from a bottom tier collector to a mid tier I think (wow I hate repeating the same word in the same sentence, but I'll let it stick). So now it takes me months to save...
    These are books I bought in 2020

    I actually just bought a couple books off a boardie here
    FF 48&49
    6.0 and 8.5 respectively 
    Very happy with the purchase and looking forward to having them in hand...it was either those or getting the ASM 14 at the same price!

    Was strongly considering a pursuit of AF 15, but then I realized how it is taking all the heart out of collecting for me... I'm new to this...

    We are now in the latter (hopefully) stages of a worldwide pandemic known to the world as Coronavirus or Covid19. This virus has had an affect on us all....but from what I have noticed it had brought alot of us on the site closer together, old feuds have been repaired, hatchets have been buried
    For myself I have continued to collect...now bringing the journey to the Silver Age....mostly Spideys! And from the advice of friends who have been collecting for longer then I have been alive, it has been a pleasure!

    Focus your sights on ASM 14 next while you can still get a presentable copy for under $1,000.

    I dont know how to respond to this.
    I'll try...
    You cant have a healthy relationship with someone if your always trying to prove it to other people.
    You'll always be trying to live up to these expectations you've set for yourself in your own head.
    And if it ends,it will end badly because of it.
    You've read the scriptures I assume.
    What your doing now is grievous blasphemy.
    Life is not about judgement and looking for affirmation from your fellow brethren.
    God isnt a test...

    Abuse? That's a bit of a stretch...People have tried to offer, genuine, sincere advice and he comes back with more wonkiness and sometimes, yes, aggressiveness, so yeah, some have lost their cool or patience with him out of sheer frustration but very few have been "abusive" I would say.
