Your first key GA book.

[walclark]

Very cool, Cat! But,nonetheless, you do deserve one of these:

 

Not a mega-key, but the first "big" GA purchase I ever made (probably from the late 1980's). Still one of my favorites:

My first G.A., back in 1988, was a Marvel Mystery #13 that was three hole punched and trimmed. The one that truly started my G.A. collection, though, was a Sub-Mariner Comics #5 that I bought at a really small Albuquerque Comic Convention back in the early 2000's.

 

I don't have either anymore.

When I was in high school, I purchased a dogeared Superman #23 in 1971 or 1972 at the San Francisco Comic Book Company from Gary Arlington. Before that I had only seen Silver Age comics. The good stuff must have been hidden in the back. The Superman #23 is still sitting in my junk pile.

This book I bought of C-link around 2005

 

i remember that copy. I almost bought it too. Looked nice but had married cover and piece out the BC spine area.

My first was when I was 15 years old. I bought an All Star Comics #1 & an Amazing Fantasy #15 for $650 at my LCS (Continental Comics in Granada Hills...store is still there too!). That purchase ate my entire car savings! My parents thought I was nuts!

If you are going to make the dive, make it head first.

This was my first GA purchase back in the early 1980's at SDCC. I was such an admirer of Hal

Foster's Tarzan, especially the "Egyptian Sequence" done in the 1930s.

 

 

 

[Tsp99]

Managed to find a decent copy of Startling 10 at a local show when I was in 10th grade. Still have it today.

[Bat-Man]

I believe mine was a raw GD/VG Tec 117.

I still go to that shop every now and then Wish they have books of that caliber still though

Say hi to Paul for me next time you go!

[The_Captain]

Superman #1 no loger own it

[Magneto]

Captain America Comics #15. Bought it a few years back when I got back into comics. I wanted a World War II cover with something to do with Nazi's on it.

 

Once I finish my X-Men run I will be looking at Golden Age a lot more! (43 issues to go!)

He did. CGC dragged him to the other coast.

[Dick Pontoon]

Calling this a key is a stretch, but it was my first GA and first photo cover of the run, Young Love #2.

 

[Moondog]

In 1975 I purchased Four Color 386 and Danger is Our Business 1 (along with 2,000 other late GA books) for ten cents each. That same year I bought Four Color 29 and All Winners 1 at a garage sale (along with about 150 other GA books) for $300.
