How long have you been collecting art? 0

active since 2011.  missed a lot of the boat but have still been able to find some good stuff at decent value.

I started some time in the 80s with an order to San Mateo. It was an old school printed catalog. All John Buscema pages.

Back in 1991, 1st page at a convention for $40.

Bought my first couple of pages about 25 years ago. Didn't buy another one until 2016. Have been in it in earnest since then.

Not the best time to joining this hobby, unfortunately. Wish I had kept it up since the late 90's.

you need more choices at the higher ends. I myself am in for at least 25 years.

Yeah I am 11 years in so I made it into the fogey bracket but that's not the same as you 20, 30, 40 year people

You actually got the catalog? Rumor is that's even rarer than real Bob Kane art

I started 9 years ago. It seems like yesterday. Time flies.

I got my first page in the early 90s a Christmas present from my Mom. A Byrne Avengers page....  But I didnt start collecting myself until 2001.
