Hit up a local comic shop today that's set up in an industrial park, only open on Thursdays and every other Saturday. Spent two hours going through the dollar boxes but only made it about 1/3 of the way through before I had to leave. He had lots of higher priced inventory as well that I didn't really have a chance to peruse. Also went to a tag sale in a private home and bought a handful of scifi novels.

2392 represents my unique feedback, approximately 90% of which is as a seller and 10% as a buyer.
A deeper dive shows a total of 2995 total feedback received to date (this figure includes one or more feedback from the same buyer), while I've left a whopping 4346 feedback for others (bless those multi-lot buyers and bless those buyers who don't leave any feedback too (they're money's green - theoretically, since it's all electronic!)).
I'm not one of those "withholders" or you-do-me-I'll-do-you kinda eBayers. My seller's philosophy is simple - you bought, you paid, you're entitled to feedback and I generally leave it when I ship or shortly thereafter.

When I first found eBay, I was dipping my toe back into collecting after a break that started with law school in 1993. I put together a low grade run of the original Silver Surfer 1-18 fairly quickly. It was the first vintage run I ever completed.
Sold it but that's okay.

As much of a Fantastic Four fan as I was/am, oddly I never picked up any of the solo SS issues, and I’m not sure I’ve even read more than one or two issues from the original run. i don’t think I’ve ever had a complete run of any comic series that began in the 60’s, unless you count the one-off IM/SM issue.

At the time, I also had most of the Surfer's initial and subsequent major appearances as part of the run - FF 48-50, 55, 72, etc., and TTA 92-93.
But I didn't really follow the character in his Defenders appearances or much of the Bronze Age really. Picked him up again with the Copper Age title for awhile through the IG saga at least, but dropped him again after that and haven't really read anything from the last 25 years or so.

Hi Roy! Thanks for visiting the Journal of Weirdness, which is really just some musings about my involvement in the comic hobby rather than being anything really weird like a COVID-19 thread, or a Political Thread, or what have you!
