Tri-Color Brian Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) These next Mad magazines (and #28 shown earlier) I bought from the original owner. He kept them in almost brand new condition... Edited December 21, 2020 by Tri-ColorBrian Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 10 minutes ago, Robot Man said: The first comic I paid over cover price for. $3. To Burt Blum at Cherokee Books. Man, my dad was pizzed! I don't know what your copy looked like, but one day I bought a Batman that must have been a 1.8 for $2 at a bookstore, and my dad had the same reaction. Thank god we didn't listen to them... Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god we didn't listen to them... I've said it before, but I'm very lucky that my parents supported my collecting habits from a young age; I was around 10 when I got my first back issue comics as a birthday or Christmas gift. And they made a point of giving me an issue of MAD once they thought I was old enough to appreciate it (around the same time). Here's a few more of my EC's in the "let's post stuff for fun" effort: Raze, Jasonmorris1000000, KirbyJack and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're younger than the robot and I, so by the time you wanted comics it was well-known how much they had increased in value, and the hobby was well-established. When we were first buying golden age books it was a smaller hobby and my dad thought it was a fad...like the hula hoop. Well, I never wanted a hula hoop as badly as I wanted back issue comics...

Agreed to a large degree; but it still wasn't nearly as common or generally recognized as it is today, or even was later in the 1980's.

When I was in high school I dated the daughter of the guy that founded Wammo. She was quite the cutie. He gave me all manner of products including a hula hoop, frisbees and a pile of those huge Wammo giant comic books.
