Dang. I thought our hobby was expensive...

I used to love comic books. After every one in print caught the "Superman 75 syndrome", I was done with them.

[Blown70]

I used to have to sneak comic books into the house tucked in my back under my shirt.   Most kids did that with porn but I had to do it to read comics. I snuck out and bought comics although not usually superhero and read them behind the local 7-11 and then had to come up with an excuse for how I spent my allowance so she would never know.
My mom trashed any comic book she got her hands on. I wonder what they would be worth now?

Of course my mom also made mommy dearest look like June Cleaver.

Burn in hell bitch!!  

Sorry..........

commics books huh?  I would sneek in the PORN

Wow; it is almost like we had the same mother!

[ChargerBill]

Sounds like my wicked great aunt...she would literally THROW my toys away and then tell my parents that she has no idea what toys I was talking about. When we moved out of town in '78 we had to store all our stuff in Great Grandmas garage for a few months. She went in there and threw my entire Hotwheels collection away while we were gone. I had EVERY model in almost every color back then from 1968 on up...about 500 total. I figure she ows me about $35K according to ebay vaues...friggin HAG!

I can imagine ChargerBill dressing up like a Hobbit from the LOR and going to a convention.

He'd be the only 6'5"  250lb Hobbit known to Middle Earth... 

[greenpigs]

  I collected Groo and stopped buying them when it went from $1.00 to $2.25..screw that. Now I  get Godzilla comics when I see them,the old school one, whenever something new comes out.

  As far as paying for your kids college I hope you stored them properly. you should know condition is the KEY factor in value. 

  My collection numbers around 400 but most were just stuff to read, I did grab a few to flip for profit.

250? Sounds a bit light to me. Or maybe I'm too fat 'cause I don't think I have 20 lbs on him.

Bagged and boarded. I was a Marvel guy. I have complete run into the early 80's of several, Capt America, Avengers...

In the late 70's I started buying multiple copies on the X-Men books starting at about 100. Picked up Giant Size #1 for a buck. It's booking for $1500 right now.

295lbs....pushing 3 bills.

A Hobbit...dang that WOULD be funny.

[greenpigs]

Sounds like a Troll is more suiting

[ChargerBill]

Yeah, or one of those Urukai...those things are huge and scary looking...I bet one of those costumes would set you back a pretty penny.

[69_500]

OH so your saying he would be more like one of the other characters from LOR> I forget his name, but he carried the AX. Stout little fellow.

[ChargerBill]

No, that was Gimlee and he was a Dwarf...get your middle earth decoder ring and dictionary out and get your lore straight. He's talking about the big, ugly cave trolls...larger than human, gray skin, smelly and quite stupid.

[69_500]

Please forgive me, I'll get the triology out and watch it this afternoon so that I can update my termonology.

Somewhere a troll weeps, dude your harsh.

['CUDA360]

I got nothen


I guess I like Star Wars, I have never even seen LOTR  (took me a while to figure out what that stood for)

Even George Lucas is getting on my nerves now

[2fast4u]

    Imagine how many Chargers you could buy with all that cash...........forget the statue and the painting.....I'd rather go buy something you can have some fun with/in!!!

Hey I guess my former manager wasnt too geeky, he was collecting hot wheels

[69_500]

You mean to tell me there are geeks after highschool?


Darn it I thought I'd grow out of that phase.
