I never had any idea what the draw of the comic book was until I watched a special on television documenting the matter. People who are collectors are pretty serious about their hobby, and judging by the prices of some of the rarest books, it is pretty lucrative as well. I am sure the most dedicated people utlilize some sort of climate controlled storage to keep everything pristine.

I used to drive a pickup truck during my younger years, so I did not have alot of room inside the cab for shopping bags or anything else I needed to carry with me. There was plenty of room in the bed, but weather and wind were always factors. I was really sad when I had to retire that truck due to gas prices, and started to drive a car. But, it had the unexpected advantage of portable storage by way of having a huge trunk. Now weather is never a factor on when I can go grocery shopping.
