What book in your collection would be the last you sell off?

72 posts in this topic

The coverless portion of my collection, which reminds me of why I loved comics as a kid. Fantastic images and stories that always stimulated my imagination. Stumbling across a "new" issue at a used bookstore or a church/school bazaar (for mere pennies) was always a cause for celebration, no matter how well-read and tattered that book may be.

 

Life was so simple back then ...... :cloud9:

B&B 115 as it was my first comic, it's taped up and tatty but I'm taking it to the grave.

 

From a GA point of view it would be my Captain Marvel Adventures books, not valuable compared to most of the rest of my collection but I love 'em, if I'd been around at the time I would have been buying them off the stands eagerly every month. :cloud9:

Tough call, but probably this...

...because:

 

1) selling my Church copy of SS#7 was the impetus for my having gotten out of GA comic collecting altogether two decades ago, and...

 

2) the desire to acquire another high grade copy is what led me back from the desert of disinterest to the promised land of GA righteousness. (thumbs u
