  1. Started collecting Archie this year and love the bright colors that can be found on issues like the Archie 99. I drive past a horse ranch on the way to work every day which makes the Pep 54 extra special. My buddy got a sunburst Les Paul, and I got my sunburst FF 11. : )
  2. I just started - thanks for asking . So far I just have an Archie #25 and picked up a Pep #54 today - my only GA books. Looking through the covers on this thread make me want to start reading the MLJ hero stories - the covers are awesome. The Shield stories I've read so far have been a lot of fun. Definitely looking to learn more.
  3. Such awesome collections. Wish I could hear the stories behind how you all obtained them. Here's my top 10. Some I've looked at so much I think I could draw every crease and ding from memory.
  4. Hello, I'm new to the boards and back into comic book collecting after being out of it for 15 years. Never stopped reading comics, but put the collecting aspect on hold for the years I lived in Japan. Started with Conan as a little kid in California, got seriously into X-men and Wolverine in high school, and have loved comics ever since. After renting a VHS about Art Spiegelman and Robert Crumb I spent a whole month's after-school line-cook pay on a RAW #1 and collected that title for a while. I remember being thrilled when I found mylars that would fit those giant issues. Traded my RAW collection and about 12 short boxes for a Giant-Size X-men 1 before moving to college in NY. After landing my first big job, started collecting Lee and Kirby's Fantastic Four and other Marvel silver age - that was right when CGC was taking off. I lurked the boards all the time back then but never posted. Left for Japan and learned Japanese well enough to read Dragon Ball, Galaxy Express 999, and other comics. Now I live in Montana, got my old collection back from my brother's storage room, and have sent (almost) everything off to Heritage except for my Fantastic Four collection - so glad to have that back. It's a pretty scrappy collection - mostly mid and low grade - but I love it. I've started saving a little bit each month for my grails (FF 5, and FF 1). I'm hoping I can trade my small MTG Alpha collection for at least a portion of one. It will be a couple of years before I have saved enough to start seriously looking though. Also am getting more and more tempted to collect pre-code EC. Those were mythical items when I was a kid - we would skip high school in Bakersfield and drive to LA to go to the shops - they were so distinctive up on the top shelves of the big LA stores - nothing looked like them. Maybe after I get the first of my grails I can get one. Anyway, I'm glad to finally post after all these years. The boards have been such a wealth of knowledge. The older I get the more I enjoy seeing others add to their collections. I'm thrilled to be here and hope I can add something useful and enjoyable like so many of you do.
