The first comic I ever had to order through Mile High Comics was "Kitty Pryde and Wolverine" #6. At least in Canton, OH it was rare, at least I couldn't find it at the few places my parents would take me. Even the one comic book store that was downtown so I had to BEG to get taken there didn't have it.
Of course, in those days ordering something took 'four to six weeks for delivery' which felt like a LIFETIME.
In the great scheme of things, no, it wasn't a rare comic but I didn't understand that at 12 years old.
I do miss the thrill of digging in quarter boxes, at least nostalgically. At this point, I only buy hardcover reprints of things I want to preserve.
