What I've learned thus far posted by Rulkfan100

I like to write and I hope others will read this

 

So far my experince on the Collecters Society chat boards has been a pleasant one, the one post where I asked for my fellow collecters opinions is already up to three pages!!! I went to the Comic preservation forum and learned those ultra pro boards I've been using in the long run will hurt my comics "oh " so Im looking into E-Gerber for my bad/board solution. On my days off I'll be taking all my backing boards out. I've also seen by the registry sets that I might have a chance to compete with my favorite female character. Come payday I'll be buying my first slabbed comics on Ebay and I've check all the numbers their legit.

I just emailed E-Gerber awaiting a responce no F.A.Q. Section

I Like E-Gerber. Much cheaper when you purchase in Bulk. I tend to buy Mylar's Boards and Mylites.

 

 

[RULKFAN1000]

Thats what I asked then about Tnerb what products to use??? On my comics, does 70s-80s require differnet size bags compared to modern day comics.

I've been buying from E. Gerber since 1980. I think Ernest may have taken my order.

Well I got my email back and he clearly stated they weren't comic book collecters, and gave me a list of their popular stuff. No problem Im heading to the preservation board now.

You are correct Im actually suprised how cheap it is!!!

[RULKFAN1000]

I started a post about Zombies and enjoy actually reading every respomce at some point every post takes on a life all its own.

[Silver Collector]

I buy (3) different bag/board SKUs from E. Gerber. These address 98% of my comic sizes (1950-present). One size almost fits all.

Mylites - 725M

Mylars - 775R

Backing Boards - 700FB

[RULKFAN1000]

thank you very much I shall be getting more slabs next weekend

 

[RULKFAN1000]

Well Saturday was a good day as I was able to obtain Savage She-Hulk #1 & 25, not to shabby

[RULKFAN1000]

I think the best advice folks on here have given me was to collect, what I like the inhernet problem with that is I like characters. But since 2011 when I got back into comics I find my taste becoming more refined down too just two particular characters.

 

1. Hailing from the Marvel Universe ( the baddest babe in the Universe She-Hulk)

2. Hailing from the DCU, Red Lanterns

 

 

My adventure thus far in collecting these characters has been exciting and rewarding.

 

I own Savage She-Hulk: 1,3 & 25, as for R.L. I've been blessed in owning a SS 9.8 G.L. #25 first mention of the other corps & a SS 9.8 G.L. #38.

 

I wish all collecters who read this post good collecting in your particular corners of comic books.

 

Have a Blessed day.

Buying Mylites from Italy is pretty expensive (I managed to buy them in the UK), so I am a bit envious of you US collectors, since I’d like to buy different formats, and especially backing boards, which are very expensive to ship.

 

Since you like the Red Lanterns, have you ever read Steve Englehart’s run on the Green Lantern Corps from the late 1980s? I am not a DC fan but those are very solid stories, and I think Geoff Jones owes quite a debt to those when he started writing his own Lantern books. I don’t like at all the concept he added to "explain" the various lights, they are pretty inconsistent, but again, Jones grew up reading in the worst possible period for comics.

[RULKFAN1000]

No Vaillant I haven't but I look into it based on your post, all the way in Italy huh, I bet it can get expensive to ship stiff wow.

This was the first issue:

 

 

I picked it up when I was at the sea in 1986, with no familiarity at all with Green Lantern and DC characters, but I liked it.
