Shield Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 31 years young. Bought my first golden age book (Archie #19) in 1994. Really got started in 2000; amassed most of a MLJ run (Have owned Archie 1-100, Pep 1-65, almost every Zip Comic at one point. Sold the run late in 2003 for a down payment on a house. I still buy books when I get good deals, but it's not like the apartment days where I had lots of spare cash. I make quite a bit more now, but with mortgage payments and 7% into the 401k, I actually have less. Growing up sucks! I will continue to buy Golden Age books for the rest of my life. See, we're not all old fogies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajaxfarrell Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'm 34 too....that's weird....I thought everyone would be older than me.....My first GA book was Thrilling # 11 in 1981..... Coolest thing is that it had some kids name rubberstamped on the cover..."ALVIN".....seventeen years later I got a copy of Adventure # 52 (cool hourman cover) from the same kids collection....the ALVIN pedigree....

MattTheDuck Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I was born in the Silver Age, but bought my first Golden Age book in June of this year. Everyone should remember that there are always new people coming to the hobby. frozentundraguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I go thru the old threads, I look to see when the last post was from any particular boardie. Most stopped posting long ago, and I am left to wonder their fate. In the case of Punyhuman, I just happened to know him and knew of his passing. @Larryw7, you are a unicorn. I see your 20 year old posts, and you are still here. The board benefits from guys like you Bat34, KCOComics, gino2paulus2 and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It would be great to do a poll every year on collector stats. The important thing to know is whether collector are aging out, spending patterns, etc. I suspect a place like HA maintains these stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
