I'll post more tomorrow if there's interest Please do. I like reading about the history of our hobby. Thanks for posting this. I didn't discover the Comics Buyers Guide until 1984 and I think I have almost every issue from then until it ceased publication. I'd just wish that I had known about it in the 70's. Prior to the CBG the only way I knew of to get back issues back then was through ads in Overstreet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badback83 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for posting that @Senormac. It was a very interesting read. I didn't really know very much about Alan Light before this thread. Senormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSeas Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for posting again Senormac. Alan had (or still has?) a good outlook on life - hate no one, and enjoy life and your job, even if it doesn't pay what you wish it would. That is what I got from reading this article about him. I view life along the same lines. I had a professor 30 years ago that once said "Life is too short to hate someone" and that kind of stuck with me. I am not giving up my time by wasting it on hate or anger. It is too bad that Alan is still not a part of the comic society today, at least as far as I know.

Mmehdy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It would be really interesting to get Alan's take on the CGC/ grading thing and current prices.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he really HAS gone on to better things and is probably making a lot more $$$ too. Unless he had a collection of books somewhere he probably does not have too much interest in the past. Oh sure.... we would all love it, but I guess it's unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
