What a read!
I see dozens of eBooks every month most are full of filler, but not
this one.
Your Comic Book Collecting eBook is astounding. From the history of
comics to the Ages of comics and how to grade them, the what, when,
where and how to start and maintain your collection is covered in a
way that draws the reader in.
If I have one negative thing to say about it.... It has to be that I
wish I had written it! Congratulations Dave, this is a real winner.

Dear friend:
Let me ask you 3 intriguing questions:
1. Have you always had a burning desire to start a comic book
collection?
2. Do you know where to get quality comics books at reasonable
prices?
3. Do you know why people collect comic books?
Hi, Dave Gieber here. I have been building this website for months
and have done a lot of amazing research. I have come across a lot of
fantastic information. And so I decided to compile some of this
research into an easy to read, easy to follow book, just so you could
get started on your comic book collection in the quickest, easiest way
possible.
Some of the exciting info you will find:
HOW THE HECK DID COMIC BOOKS GET STARTED ANYWAY? YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
IT, PAGE 7.
What are the 10 greatest comic books of all time? Page 13.
WHY WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, START A COMIC BOOK COLLECTION
ANYWAY? PAGE 24.
Did you know comic books were categorized in different time periods
or Ages? Page 27.
LEGENDARY ARTISTIC GENIUSES. WHO ARE THEY? PAGE 48.
I hear so much about grading comic books. What is that all about
anyway? Page 54.
HOW MUCH ARE MY COMIC BOOKS REALLY WORTH? PAGE 57.
Ever been to a comic book convention? Page 60.
How do I keep my comics from falling apart? Page 62.
AND MORE...
And another powerful reason to collect comic books is the POTENTIAL
ECONOMIC INVESTMENT they can become. Depending on physical condition,
rarity and desirability of a particular issue, this will determine its
value. Values of a comic book collection can range from A FEW DOLLARS
MORE THAN FACE VALUE TO 6 FIGURES. Although 6 figures can be extremely
rare, on occasion you may see a particular comic book valued at
several hundred thousand dollars. As far as I am concerned though, the
highest value is what each comic book is worth personally to each
owner. Many times, this does not and can not have a dollar amount
attached.
SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING!

As a layperson totally green about comic book collecting, the
information provided in your book would allow someone like me to
basically start a collection from scratch. The steps defined on what
to look for and where to look when starting a collection are
invaluable to a beginner. In addition, you provide information that
not only appeals to those starting out but for those collecting for a
long time as well. It's written in a no-nonsense way that anyone, and
I mean anyone can understand and get started collecting comics. Great
job.

I'm thinking it's a little long on history, but I am so intrigued by
all it presents. Lots and lots of info in this thing though. wow!
quite an intriguing read. I found the pieces on the Artists
particularly interesting. Like Bob Kane. I never knew he had died. And
the defections of so many artists were something I thought of only as
the outset of Image Comics in the 90's.
The early history of comics is nice because there is always something
different everywhere you look on the Internet about that topic.
This is a great piece of work! The piece on Mark painting covers is
very dear to me. I love artwork, and did many pastels/watercolor work
myself and was often fantasizing about comic book penciling myself
someday.

Dear Dave,
Congratulations on a fine book. This book should be considered as an
important tool for all people that want to collect comic books for
enjoyment. It is essential reading for people who want to turn their
hobby into a money making venture or as an inheritance for their
children. I only wish that I had this information 40 years ago when I
took 6 empty pop bottles into the corner store and purchased my first
comic book. (Amazing Spider-Man # 28).
When I think back to say, 1961, I
