"Hobbies are typically not things that are going to return your investment" - can I get that on a t-shirt? Praise be.

I've only gotten signatures at events where there's a free signing. Paying for a signature is too much for me

Slabbing is a personal enjoyment thing for me. Some books won't be worth it from a resale perspective, but I've slabbed personal favorites and that's just fine with me

Hunting for sigs is more for fun for me. Meeting legendary creators and chatting up with them about the stories and characters I love is one of my favorite parts in the hobby

I definitely spent too much on signing but it feels more special knowing the creator once held the book in their hands

Full runs are money pits to most, but having a full run of Marvel Transformers brings me a lot of joy, so that's all that really matters.

I totally get the blind bag thing but, man, I'm not a gambler. Even if I do get the 1:500, you still gotta sell it. Nothing is worth anything until it's sold.
