    I am the guy who is a run filler of silver and bronze age books of certain series.
  • I would fall into the digger category except I read what I buy and donā€™t sell that often
  • Honorable mention: The grandma taking the 10 to 15 year old Timmy.

    Great video! I've probably been all of these throughout the course of my collecting life. I know I used to frustrate the Hell out of my old (now closed) LCS being #2 in particular. Nowadays, I guess I'm a casual? My local shops don't really cater to my collecting or social needs anymore, which is fine. I only really get excited to visit comic shops when I'm out of town now, as I really enjoy seeing how different people approach running theirs.

    Loved the video!šŸ’• Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!šŸ˜
  • Another type is the guy who doesnā€™t really buy weekly comics and rarely appears in a book comic store but when he does itā€™s because heā€™s in the neighborhood at some restaurant with his wife, and he asks the shop owner if there are any new Alan Moore titles and hey btw, what has Moore been up to the last few years?? This guy is trying to show that heā€™s a sophisticated comic reader because heā€™s asking about Moore.

    Hmmā€¦.so Iā€™m the guy thatā€™s been collecting comics since the 70ā€™s that has no interest in new books only back issues. Iā€™m not gonna have a pull list of any kind. I get super excited when you just bought a collection of dusty long boxes and theyā€™re sitting there waiting for me to go through them like Xmas morning. Iā€™m the Bronze Age nerd
  • Guess I never saw myself as a whale I always buy 30 or more a week at times variants and preorder my books 3 months ahead I thought I was just a normal collector
  • @Mr_Rob_otto
    I used to be a whale at my local LCS. I was in the shop every Wednesday for my pull list, dropping on average $200 a week. I would check the previews months in advance. I stopped doing that when I realized I couldnā€™t read all those books and accumulated long boxes of unread books that were rapidly losing any value. I finally came to my senses and now am the guy who orders a handful of books online each week and have them shipped to me once a month.

    Good video! I guess I'm kind of casual, I have a small pull list (mainly to get the back issue discount) and go in once a month or so. But my LCS has a great silver and bronze selection plus awesome $5&$10 boxes, so when I go in I drop $100-$200 on that stuff. The owner keeps it stocked for me, lol.

    I turned 60 yesterday and Iā€™ve never bought a comic book I didnā€™t want to read and have never bought a comic because of any future value or collectibility.
