catman76 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The good old days when comics were still kid stuff and we had dangerous playground equipment that was made of cement. Nostalgia.

I did have an appreciation for the USS Flag that my cousin had, but he lived out in the country and hadn't anything else to do. GO JOE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenglo1 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) It was January 1981 when I stopped reading comics (for the first time). Edited September 23, 2017 by Kenglo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to look through my collection today and the last comic I bought off the rack was X-Men 152- December 1981. It was probably on the newstand around September of that year which is right when I started high school- 10th grade. I bought three copies of X-Men 150, one I read (many times) and the other two I put in bags. Still have them! Despite never reading them, they are no more than 9.0-9.2 in condition. I don't understand how people have 9.6 and higher comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how people have 9.6 and higher comics. From what I've read, they were very particular about the books they bought from the stand in addition to the care in handling them afterwards. They cherry picked only the very best copies. Kids generally don't have that line of thought. They want nice copies but are not going to pass up a cool book because it isn't minty mint. I recall buying some books myself that were the last available copies on the rack and had some visual damage -- but if you want that book, you buy it. Also-- the amount of books that get delivered back then in 9.6/9.8 shape was fairly rare even if you were first one to pick from the books.

01TheDude Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I never knew that these commercials were made or even used on TV. Sort of cheesy but thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
