"Being a lawyer is stressful. The pressure and anxiety of the profession can literally drive attorneys mad, or at least to the point where they, and many people who love them, think they have gone mad. This is why many of today's lawyers are venturing out from behind the dark and consuming courtroom doors to pursue hobbies and second careers that satisfy their adventurous and creative senses. Almost all attorneys agree that having another hobby or side career actually helps them stay focused and engaged in their work as attorneys".

"Tyler Pokrass: Comic Book Dealer—Durham, North Carolina"

 

"What started out as a supplement to his income during law school has become a passion for Tyler Pokrass. Pokrass began to dabble in antiques when he was young, accompanying his parents when they attended estate sales and visited various antique stores. He collected bottles, coins, and then comic books. Years later, after discovering a stash of old comics at his friend's grandparents' house, Pokrass got his first taste of comic book broking when he sold the 1963 issue of Spider-Man 1 for a handsome profit".

 

"In high school, college, and law school, Pokrass dove into buying and selling comics for profit. During law school, he connected with a local doctor who was in search of some of his favorite vintage comics (comic books published before 1975). Pokrass went to work shopping around at comic book shows and on eBay for the doctor, and eventually, his profits from that work helped him get through law school financially. Pokrass was even able to put a down payment on a house when he sold a 1940s issue of the Whiz comic book that featured the first appearance of Captain Marvel".

 

"Today, with a successful private practice in Durham, Pokrass continues to buy and sell comic books for supplementary cash, but he mostly does it for the fun of it all. His favorite comics are the Detective Batman issues and the early Superman issues, as well as comics from the 1950s with outrageous titles like Teenage Dope Slaves".

 

"It doesn't matter what you partake in to be a healthy, well-rounded person. Everyone needs a hobby to have some time away from law," he said.

I met Tyler at the NYC National in about 2004, and he has bought a few things from me on eBay as well. Seemed like a nice guy. Was already very picky about slabbed books, even then. Looking at things like how the book sat in the holder and for SCS. Seemed saavy and great to work with. Is he a board member?

Tyler is a great guy. Although I've never met him on person I've known him for several years through email and phone calls.

 

Top notch red neck.
