You're all puppies. My first one was #8, and I actually bought comics from those ads back then.

[heinlein99]

My first was #12. My first mail-order catalog came from Moondog's before that. Too bad I never had money as a kid.

$900...really? Wow that's pretty cheap. No wonder everyone advertises. I was thinking the cost was 3 or 4 times higher.

OH YEAH, when I started they hadn't even invented paper yet. I had to read my comics carved out of stone. And I could only read them during the day because fire hadn't been discovered yet so there was no light to read them by at night.

Here it is. I remember how conflicted I was over spending $7 for this book when I could have been spending it on comics

 

[143ksk]

And, lest you think I was cheap, here's what comics were guiding for back then:

 

For the Silver Age collectors:

So, what would you rather have? Overstreet or a NM Spidey 14

Detective #27 has gone up some.

[the blob]

I believe my first was 1976 or 1977 (actually, my older brother's, but i read it to death) and I feel like silver age prices went up a lot between those from the 1975 guide you're showing and whichever one I was looking at.

 

OTOH, I remember at my first convention in 1977 or so I was able to buy a bunch of beat to heck early Hulks (5 or 6 I think), Dardevils (5) and things of that nature for like $1 each or less.

You always remember your 1st....
