Started a new hobby

I started collecting comic books. So far I have almost a hundred. Consisting of X-men, X-force, the flash, bat man, spider man, and hawkeye, and a few random ones. Anyone else interested in collecting/reading comic books?

Haven’t collected comics for about 30 years and I miss it some. I’m reaching the age where my kid is off to college next year and the wife and I are looking at our stuff and thinking we’d be better off with less of it. No more collecting for me! (Except for memories and someday grandkid pics.)

Good for you! I mess around with hobbies as it gives me something positive to do. I’m trying to spend less time on the computer!

I don’t collect comics, but I’m learning to crochet. I like quilting better, though.

I sold my collection about a year ago. I had a box full of comic books and a box filed with Mad magazines. I had a bunch of Superman, Batman, The Green Lantern, The Flash and many varied different kinds. I had a few from 1970 on up. I was buying them when a comic book cost 12 cents. I didn’t get much for them or the MAD magazines but I had to get rid of them fast because I had nowhere to keep them in the group home I was in.

Oh yes. I collect and flip them on a very part time basis on Ebay. But there are many I keep just for myself like…

Freaks of the Heartland
Demo
Sam and Twitch

…to name a few.

So I bought the latest price guide, about 1200 pages worth, and 100 sleeves for protection.

Yeah, even reptiles appreciate love, right? Even in their tiny little brains they must recognize you as the one who honestly cares about them.

In some strange way you may be right. When I was soaking lei after calming down I talked to him. He then calmed down enough to drink a lot of water he doesn’t do that for anyone else
