Secondly, I discovered the CGC just after getting into the hobby in 2005, found a CGCd book on Ebay & was like, what the hell's this? looked up CGC, bought my first book and joined the CS, but it was another 9-12 months before I ventured onto the boards.
I have never said very much, still don't ( as you can see by my post count) but like others I have read these boards every day since I joined (see date on left!)
I like it here because I feel a part of something larger and it keeps me up to date with current comic events (literally & figuratively)
