This is an adorable video! Congrats for a start in the hobby- I started in the third grade as my teacher's husband was a LCS owner, Comic Kingdom in Des Plaines, IL.

Wow, talk about a small world we live in. The LCS near me now (which is also 30 years old i believe is Past Time Comics which has moved a few times now in Golf Mill Niles IL). Back in 1980 when i first entered hobby i frequented the ever so famous 'Larry's' on Devon Ave in Rogers Park and another popular store called Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. Both stores have been gone for a while now but the enjoyment of the hobby can be passed to our kids along with a few critical skills such as grading comics (which is a tough art to master) along with sharing of the comic book history if the hobby is to continue into the future. Thanks for the great comment!

New sub. Looking forward to checking out your channel! Started reading comics early!

Me too...started in about 1980 which ages me a bit but the love of hobby is 'ageless and infinite' hence the youtube name 'GenXComics'. Things were so simple back then and they were only starting to bag comics (without boards unless it was an Amazing Fantasy #15 or FF #1 in those days).
