Loved comics since i was a kid, but it has only been until now that i could really pursue collecting as a hobby. I call myself a cover art collector. If i love the art of a cover i will buy it. Greg Horn, AH, and Campbell are my faves right now.

PROPS TO YOU HARDCORE COLLECTORS

So here is the way i see it.  Since i was a kid i have loved comics.  Not just superheroes mind you, but all kinds.  I wish i had kept this mickey mouse that i had way back then, it would be something now.  However, living in this small apartment, i feel 'unworthy' when i call myself a collector.  I cannot sacrifice the space i share with my family for the room i would need for a grand collection.  I can appreciate the collectors i see on this site, who have rooms that i would love to have full of comics.  Heck, one day i want a fireproof room that i saw on White Collar!  To all you that have put passion, imagination, and pride into your collection....awesome job.  One day maybe i can get that house with my own space, but until then i will hold my head up high and be proud to say i am part of one of America's greatest nostalgic past times and it's a hobby that i love.

  • Yeah I MAY have had 5,000 books back in the day & I didn't have a separate room for them either so I KNOW how you feel bro lol Although at 1 time I DID have a 2 bedroom apt & it was JUST me & my soon to be ex wife & I DID plan on turning it in to MY collection room with my comics,Transformers,Star Wars & Hot Wheels collections but by tha time I got around to it,we were separating & went our separate ways so NOW I gotta wait AGAIN lol

    • Definately sorry about that man. I know thats not what anybody wishes to have happen. However, i hope that when you do get to that point again that you have yourself one badass room.
