    This is 100% right! When I was a kid, it was punisher, wolverine, Batman and for me, the X-Men because the cartoon was awesome!

    As a child of the 90s, punisher and wolverine were my two favorites. The punisher was hugely popular and had several solo titles. I probably read every Punisher War Journal comic cover to cover a dozen times. When I started collecting, the first two big books I bought were hulk 181 and ASM 129. To a broke teenager in the late 90s, those two keys were much more affordable than the big silver age titles. I still have them both with no plans to sell. But besides Hulk 181, I can't think of a more worthy bronze age key. I do love HOS92, but it's hard to argue that it's more worthy of key status than ASM129.

    I'll weigh in because I like this topic! I've been collecting since I was in high school. 20 years or so. When I bought silver age books, I never opened them. In fact I still have dozens of raw books, bagged and boarded that I've never opened. I'm never going to be one to crack a slab open so I can read it and most of my 4 figure books are slabbed to be protected. That said, my 7 year old thinks owning comics and not reading them is ridiculous. And he's right! Collecting has been really fun the last few years because we've been buying golden age and silver age books together and carefully reading the old stories and checking out the old ads! We even read my Avengers 1 before sending it off to CGC. So I can see it both ways. I don't want to damage a rare or valuable book. But there is something so cool about reading those stories and carefully turning through the pages. It's like an event! My son and I have been buying allot of the true believers reprints and reading the big keys, but if I was lucky enough to get a raw FF1 or Hulk 1, I would very carefully read it. Also, Joe - your comment was totally not insulting!

    Skypinkblu - I really enjoyed reading your descriptions of these books. How much you appreciate and enjoyed each comic really comes out! Good luck with bidding on some new ones!

    I'll sell them when I no longer enjoy collecting. The hunt and piecing together unique runs. My oldest son is 7 and he's really into comics. My youngest son is 2 and he's really into destroying. If I hang onto the collection and they are still interested I would leave it to them... except a few special ones I know would mean allot to my brother (although I plan to out live him to!)

    Does the guy know about the detached staple?

    TY you all for the feedback!
  19. KCOComics
    See, that's the same grade I gave it! I bought these about 10 years ago and never thought about having them graded until recently. They are probably worth getting protected at this point!

    I appreciate all the feedback! Thanks everyone

    Top left corner over the 12C ? It does look suspicious. But i would have faith in CGC to catch something like that.
