I'm 34 years old and this is my first comic purchase ever!

I think it looks even better in person.

 

 

 

 

So you never owned or read comics when younger? If so that is very interesting demographic and optimistic implication for the back issue market.

I've never read comics or even bought one before last weekend, but I did collect other things such as baseball cards and even rocks when I was much younger. I also have a few silver coins but nothing serious. My first passion is cars. If I had money like Jay Leno I have no doubt I would have a similar garage to his.

 

I have a son who is three now and he just loves all super heroes. It is amazing how these characters have been around for as long as they have and they still continue to sell off the shelves. Movies are bringing in record numbers and the anticipation for future movie releases is always a hot topic.

 

I figured I better get in now before these things are through the roof. Besides, its another hobby for me to learn about. I like researching things and I love variety...and there seems to be almost no end to that in this arena.

 

I have a feeling there are others like me who will also begin to buy some of these first issue comics while they still can for at least somewhat reasonable prices. After all, they aren't getting any younger.

Very cool. Your son will appreciate the rare back issues more when he is older, but its neat he can relate to super heroes now. Thx for sharing your back ground. I know many of us old timers always wonder if another generation will rise up with an appreciation for comics. Buying a mega silver key as first comics does make more sense w your background as a baseball card collector. I knew the movies would bring it some folks, but figured it would take several years before someone would grow accustom to spending a few thousand on old news print. Well Congrats again! and Hold on to it.

Thanks! I sure will. I ended up buying four comics after going back and forth trying to decide which ones to get and comparing prices on Ebay.

 

I picked up the Avengers #1 5.5, an Amazing Fantasy #15 2.5, a Journey into Mystery #83 3.5, and an X-Men #1 4.0.

 

Next ones on my short list are TOS #39 and a Hulk #1....But I'll need to chill a bit before the wife really freaks out..lol.

lol , my wife freaks out 3 keys earlier than your wife. You're doing it right, buying key books that should keep their value.

Looking to get into something outside the PGM posts, saw this one and said why not? Thought from the title it was both issues, but saw from the first post that it was either.

 

Not a real condition freak, would rather have both of these in this sort of condition than just one in nicer condition.

 

Here's my Avengers #1:

And here's Avengers #4:
