So what started your madness? What did it for you? Do you remember the day? The Time? the reason?
This thread will last as long as you are willing to add your stories. For me it started with "Superman 75". Sure my brother and I played with Joes and He Man. Sure there is a story behind that time but that is not what made me the collector I am today. The memories of my youth are some of my fondest but what put me on the crazy path that I am on today, that would be Superman comic number "75". That silly comic and the aftermath of it made me the collector I am. I never got that silly comic issue when it came out. I wanted it and all of its silly hype. That comic book in all its black sealed goodness made me realize that I needed to grab the things I wanted when I had the chance. Now some 20 sum years later I have finally purchased it off of E-bay. It cost me $5.75. What is it that made you the collector you are? Share your story here. Lots of love to all Samantha

the Mauler Tank and General Hawk figures I got for like my 4th or 5th birthday (which I still have!). I've been collecting joes for 20+ years since. As a kid I always kept the accessories in rubbermaid tubs and somehow managed to keep most of my figures complete.

Would have to be Baseball cards. I loved my ARAH Joes, but I did not collect them nor did I really care which ones I had or did not have; I just loved whatever I had and played with them constantly without a care in the world.
However... for Baseball cards... that was the first time I actually sought out particular cards for particular players.

The Spiderman figures that supported the early 90's cartoon. I started collecting them then along came a small toy line update of some trilogy called Star Wars. Since that time I have been a die hard collector.
