Welcome aboard.

 

Being the n00b you must supply pie to the rest of us. I'll take a chocolate cream pie.

 

"More people will show up if you tell them you have punch and pie."

 

Sorry but your post reminded me of the above South Park quote I use all the time.

And welcome to the boards Mr. Badlands.

We have the exact same taste in comics. X-men 94-200 were my glory days of comic reading.

I collect mostly X-Men of course as well as Amazing Spiderman and Marvel Team-Up.

I just recently discovered CGC and I am hooked. Now it is just a small matter of all the money I need.

My story is probably a typical one around here, but anyways...I collected when I was a kid, put 'em away and forgot about 'em for 25 years. Have recently rediscovered them, and BOOM! I've kinda become obsessed! I collect just Marvel and DC SA and BA, raw copies mostly. Good times had by me!

 

Welcome! Your story pretty much matches up to mine that happened almost a year ago. Collected as kid in 70's, early 80's and gave it up for 25 years and then decide to get back in it - on a whim. Now my comics bookmarks has outnumbered my BBQ and Flyfishing sites.

 

One word of caution - stay away from the Selling Forum! It is habit forming!

The story matches mine ,as well! I came here 6-12 mos. ago , to do a little due diligence , before I sold off my "entire collection" , that I have had for over 25 years and rarely looked at.

Now I'm on all the time , managed to sell a couple ,but ! ,.... just received a box of 60+ SA books from Flam. Tele. , and have about 10 other people sending me stuff this week!..... :o

......Oh yeah ,last night I designed and built a secret bookshelf in a door opening that can open to show display shelves w/ my comics in it!... :o

 

PS......I think it's because we now have the $$ that we didn't have when little , and already stable in career , done the wife and kids thing , .......so we feel we can enjoy our little hobby, .........a little..............BH...... ;)

Yeah! , I went from the bottom up , and ended up w/ that!......I'm gonna be a little more patient next time! meh

Actually , though , this was from our recent estate sale that we just conducted and I retained the salvage rights to the 20,000 sq. ft + home .

This piece was off the kitchen area , into a bar area , that has pantry type doors that open into this book shelve. Then the book shelve itself is on "piano" hinges" that swing open to reveal a room /safe/storage behind , and/or whatever one chooses to do w/ it.

I plan on having comics in the shelves and then hidden behind , a room with all the comics...........BH....... :insane:
