Why You Should Reader Copy!

[@metarog]

Nothing like the full sensory experience of reading, holding, smelling and just absorbing the comic goodness of older comics. Good vid SHBAB.👍

[@Luxinda]

So you can read them like we used to - just adding more to the nostalgia appeal 🥰

[@lukeyznaga7627]

YESSSS! Yes, you are right. How can you have fun with your collection , if you are not smelling the print, reading the story and looking at the panels, and reminiscing about the ADS...yeah!

[@santuchie]

What a wonderful perspective. I couldn't agree more!

[@TIMOTHYJAMES-wk2yk]

Great video,I agree on all counts!!

[@ethan288]

You are so right with this video. It took along time before I started to bag and board my books. I always like easy and quick access to my books unfortunately my basement flooded once and I lost 7 long boxes if I had the books bag I might have been able to save them in time so it was a costly and painful lesson for me so I started to bag my books. (LOL) I have a lot of extra Conan raw that I don't bag which is strictly my read copies mostly the John Buscema run. Never thought comics would be such a huge and expensive collectors item when I was a kid.

A flooded basement? oy. I do have my readers bagged and boarded for that reason, but what loss!

[@darthken815]

Ouch! You have my condolences, brother.

[@nighttigercomics7323]

I agree! That's why I designated all my comics reader copies. 😂😅

[@manic2360]

I love the smell of old books and comics...

[@silver-hairedbronzeagebabe2524]

ditto!

[@TheJacksonRoykirk]

Oh no! She's at it again! You did THIS, and you did THAT to that Batman book!!!! 🥴 I need to go and warn Magic Lasso and then lie down.... ••• But, yes, having reader copies is what it's all about -- reading your comics! ...I'm just a little more delicate with mine. 😊

[@silver-hairedbronzeagebabe2524]

I knew this one would catch your attention!

[@johnbigdaddyross2158]

I agree 100%! Great video.

[@silver-hairedbronzeagebabe2524]

Many thanks!

I love the Silver Age version BLUE CAPE of Batman. I don't care much for the "mod squad" black leather cape.

[@aftacomics5865]

Sing it, sister! Amen. I don't have a single slabbed book as I want to read everything I've got!!!! The books were created for that. Plus, a Vey Good book is difficult to "Down Grade" while reading it. We have created a generation of comic grade snobs. Read it, smell it, touch it! That sounds like something from "Tommy!"

I'm all for 3.0s. They are cheaper.

[@thegreyman]

I think some of those even in 4.5 are worth a few bob. I get mine as cheap as possible so some of mine are pretty low grade. Some comics are so pricey now I am almost scared to read them!!

[@silver-hairedbronzeagebabe2524]

Be fearless!
