Off Topic, but kinda turtle related lol

[Kenny]

My turtle obsession extends way beyond keeping tortoise's lol.
My other obsession/addiction is comic books, and considering this is a Tortoise forum I figured you might appreciate one of my newest acquisitions.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 1,2,3
# 1 is a pretty huge book for something thats not very old (1984)

I collect books too, but murder mysteries, not comics.

Nice acquisition. Might be worth some big bucks some day.

Congratulations! But now I have their theme song playing in my head, and I may not forgive you for that

the #1 is a lower grade copy but still 1st print I paid $400 for it, I also have two 2nd prints that I paid $30 each for

Pretty cheap in the comic world
This is my Big Book: low grade and slight restoration but still a Hulk # 1

12 cents! Can you imagine?

I know they're not as popular today as they were when they were only a dime, but how can kids afford to buy them now. When I look back 60 years ago and think of all the 10 cent comic books I had I really wish I had been more careful of them and saved a few.

My cousin has the first Superman. It's in a plastic case. He said he is leaving it to his son. I have no idea how much it's worth, but they way he has it saved, it must be a lot. I have loads of comic books in my atic in boxes that were mine when I was a little girl. Little Lulu..etc. My Aunt left me her 1st addition of Gone with the Wind. I wonder how much that's worth....

I didn't think collectables were worth much right now. My son has a ton of baseball cards he inherited. I have a comic book that a cook I worked with 20+ years ago told me I should buy and put away. The cook died sadley of obessedy, but I still have the comic somewhere.

Yvonne ~have you read any Jody Picoult? I have just adout read all her books. They are very good. I hate it when I finish everthing a good author has written
