Bought 30 back issues at a flea market in Nashville for $40, most were duds but one taught me about grading
Half the stack had water damage or spine ticks I missed in the sunlight, yet that one beat-up copy of X-Men 137 made me realize I've been too picky about condition. Are we collectors of stories or slabs, because I'm honestly torn after that find. Anyone else shifted their focus from grade hunting to just reading the books?
