  1. I just started going through my collection of comic books, and as I flip some of them over I can see in Pencil 35 cents or 50 cents... and I know those are the ones I bought there.. yes it really brings back memories... yes the smell of old paper.. I bought every comic I could there in the 70's and early 80's that I did not have yet. Must have bought hundreds of them as I had a job and lived at home.. Hank was the nicest guy, reminded me of Mr. Rogers. I went to the Relax a Cons a lot too.. I visited every place I could drive to, to buy comics, Moondog's in Mt Prospect, and a lot of old stores in Old Town (Chicago) in amongst head shops and ripley's believe it or not. The comics I bought at BJ's were not always in the best condition.. but they were issue's to complete my collect.. as I am pricing them them now even in good condition (which is not that great) they have become worth 6-15$ a piece now. my collection is about 5,000 comics mainly DC..(I was a superman and green lantern fan) and taking on Marvel was more than I could afford to start buying. I still remember paying $60 for Silver age Green Lantern #1 and that was the most money I ever paid for a comic at the time... I quit buying comics in the late 80's or early 90's as I was Married... somehow all the comics managed to survive.. getting ready to start selling them... attached is image of the backside of One I am sure I bought at BJ's
