Do you HONESTLY think I'm ever selling my stuff? Shame on you. lol This place is like an adoption agency for me- I come in looking to bring home the poor, unwanted, and unloved books. :grin: And I want to be able to read my books as this was the run my brother collected and got me hooked into X-Men. So, I'd like to have a set for myself. Of course, if someone wants to sell me their mid-grade collection for the price of GD, then no complaints on my part. :)

 

Besides, if my personal collection ever does get sold, it means I'm 6-feet under and my kid turned out to NOT be a comic collector after all. ;)

One more thing- if this future son of mine ever DOES sell my comics after I'm gone, I'm going to haunt him. lol

Congrats!!! A really sweet looking copy!!! I've owned an AF #15 before but for some reason I've never owned #1. In fact out of the first 100 issues the only two I've never owned was #1 and the other one was #3, So I know if I owned a book like yours I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week and that book would be sleeping next to me (at a safe distance of course, wouldn't want to roll over on top of it). :cloud9:

Sweet. Will this be the first time to have read issue #1?

 

I've read the two stories in Marvel Masterworks, but it will be much cooler to read the real thing! I'm still on cloud 9... :cloud9:

I promise this will be my last post about my ASM1:

 

I tried explaining the significance of this book to my wife, especially since I've mentioned it casually in conversation several times over the last month or so. She didn't understand, but was glad that I was happy. What shocked me, was that she then asked, how much was the first appearance? I told her I could find a nice copy for $3500...

 

That's one purchase that won't be happening for a very long time, but at least she didn't start vomiting at the thought of me blowing that much money on a comic book.

 

I'll have to play the investment angle. lol

Top 10 excuses to your significant other to buy an expensive comic

 

10) I need to upgrade my current copy!

 

9) I need it to complete my run!

 

8) It's a 7 on the Gerber Scale!

 

7) (Fill in Artist's Name here) did the artwork!

 

6) It's a "Key!"

 

5) It's my GRAIL!

 

4) It has historical significance!

 

3) I've NEVER seen one for this price!

 

2) It's going to be worth a LOT more someday!
