Progressing from buying based on great covers to being a completest to going back to buying and reading the books and covers I enjoy

It started as kid judging a book by its cover.. I had to spend my 25 cents carefully and the cover art usually sold the book to me. The great covers and hype by Stan Lee usually won me over.. FF25 Hulk vs Thing was and still is one of my favorites.

Years later I was determined to have complete runs of all silver age marvels then just when I was nearly there my mood changed again and I started re-thinking and came back to collecting the great books and covers that really appealed to me.

I think as collectors we all need to go through these phases and we need to allow ourselves to enjoy the journey and at some point we arrive back at the things we really love....
