  1. Thanks! I sure will. I ended up buying four comics after going back and forth trying to decide which ones to get and comparing prices on Ebay. I picked up the Avengers #1 5.5, an Amazing Fantasy #15 2.5, a Journey into Mystery #83 3.5, and an X-Men #1 4.0. Next ones on my short list are TOS #39 and a Hulk #1....But I'll need to chill a bit before the wife really freaks out...
  2. So you never owned or read comics when younger? If so that is very interesting demographic and optimistic implication for the back issue market. I've never read comics or even bought one before last weekend, but I did collect other things such as baseball cards and even rocks when I was much younger. I also have a few silver coins but nothing serious. My first passion is cars. If I had money like Jay Leno I have no doubt I would have a similar garage to his. I have a son who is three now and he just loves all super heroes. It is amazing how these characters have been around for as long as they have and they still continue to sell off the shelves. Movies are bringing in record numbers and the anticipation for future movie releases is always a hot topic. I figured I better get in now before these things are through the roof. Besides, its another hobby for me to learn about. I like researching things and I love variety...and there seems to be almost no end to that in this arena. I have a feeling there are others like me who will also begin to buy some of these first issue comics while they still can for at least somewhat reasonable prices. After all, they aren't getting any younger.
  3. I'm 34 years old and this is my first comic purchase ever! I think it looks even better in person.
