I'm 39 today, and I've been buying GA books since I was about 12.

 

My first GA books were, according to memory, DETECTIVE #170 in VG for 6.00, VAULT OF HORROR #32 Fair for 6.00, and BATMAN #39 GD(brittle pages) for 15.00. Plus a mess of Joe Palooka books in super sharp shape that I got for about four bucks apiece, and some low grade BOY ILLUSTORIES.

You know what they say, "Once you go GA, you never go back".

I do not want to reveal my secret identity.

 

Although walking around in a giant diaper doesn't help.

All right, Banner! where the HELL are the 50-55 folk? Huh?

 

And what kind of poll has 25-30 AND 30-35 AND 35-40 etc? what are the people supposed to choose. If they are 25 do they choose 20-25 or 25-30?

 

Man - you are one AGEIST ageist!

Yeah, it's pathetic but people seem to have figured it out!

I don't have that many Golden Age Comics, but it is my goal to buy a lot more.

I'm 25

Apparently, not everyone has figured it out (see:Poverty Row post above) !

Don't you have to sell all your comics?

Hey Banner:

Do NOT apologize for that 'oversight' - those of us who are exactly 40 for the time being are very pleased to be given a choice on this...

We're backloading this thing on the under fitty crowd.

Wishing with a smile I was still under ....
