Yeah, mines a tiny thing at the moment, but I JUST got out of an ice cold swimming pool. No, REALLY!  My collection? Yeah, figuratively speaking, it wouldn't be hired for a career in porn either, but please keep in mind that I've only been back in the hobby for just a year now. So, I'm not doing too bad considering that & the fact that I'm working with a somewhat limited budget. Now, if we went back about 31 years & we looked at the collection that I had at 18, we'd have somewhere between 3000-3500 more comics to figure in. Including full & near full runs of ASM, THE AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR, DAREDEVIL, THE X-MEN & quite a few others. All of which I'd put together since I'd begun to seriously collect at 10. With a big helping hand from my parents, of course. Unfortunately, as I lamented in this forum elsewhere, I sold off that wonderful collection for pennies on the dollar in a moment of TERRIBLE stupidity. So, I went three decades before beginning to collect again last June. And, I'm having more fun & experiencing more satisfaction with each comic & collecting supply that I purchase than I ever recall having as a kid.  __________________ Jim | ||||||||||

Also bags cost 7 dollars, boards cost $10 (is that normal or too much ?) | ||||||||||

Since I cannot accurately recall how much I paid for my comics over the years, I have entered them all at newsstand price. | ||||||||||

| Senior Member Joined: 18 January 2010 | Nah, I have a pc. Currently a netbook, but I'm always using
different computers, and they all do the same thing. Ah well! I should mention that most of my comics are also entered at newsstand price. Since I've bought a huge chunk of my collection at conventions or sales, I didn't actually pay that for a lot of them. Speaking of which...I've gotta go add this year's convention finds to my stash! __________________ -Chemist52 Do not meddle in the affairs of chemists, for you are carbon based and will dissolve. | ||||||||||

I was just at Wizard World this weekend in Philly :D I attended a very small convention that is held in a meeting room or small ball room of a hotel close to where I live. The convention has the same dealers, and is held 3-4 times a year. The dealer I go to sells his comics for a dollar each, or 50 for $20. His comics are all in long boxes, and if you want to buy one completely full, it'll cost you $110. | ||||||||||

I used to go to a con like that when I was in college. They're nice because there isn't as much chaos, and you can find some really cool things. Also, MUCH cheaper :) chipreece wrote:Yes. You must! Haha, thanks for the confidence! Well, I've got five months until then...I better get started. Hopefully this DC Comics "reboot" will result in me getting MORE books, and not LESS... __________________ -Chemist52 Do not meddle in the affairs of chemists, for you are carbon based and will dissolve. | ||||||||||
