A kid at the local library totally changed how I see collecting comics.
I was at the downtown branch last Saturday, and a boy around ten was looking at the old graphic novel section. He pulled out a worn copy of 'Bone' and told his friend, 'My grandpa gave me his whole box, but this one is my favorite because it's the one he read to me.' He wasn't talking about value or condition at all. It made me realize I got so caught up in grading and keys that I forgot why I started. Has anyone else had a simple moment that reminded them of the real joy in this hobby?

My buddy found his old X-Men cards in his mom's attic. He spent an hour just reading the little bios on the back, didn't even check prices online.

That "didn't even check prices online" part is the real miracle. My first move would have been to see if I could retire. Guess some people still have a soul.
