I find myself considering my acquisitions for the year...

and I am happy. I added 25 books to my go-go check collection, 1 I purchased raw and 24 slabbed. 4 @ 8.5 (including the raw book that I had slabbed later); 6 @ 9.0; 10 @ 9.2 (including a Rocky Mountain); and 5 @ 9.4 - I nice haul for a year where I couldn't buy much because I had the expense of a wedding and a honeymoon cruise; which was well worth it. My shopping started with Superman 194 in 9.2 in January and ended with Our Army at War 178 in 9.2 in December.

2011 looks to be a great year for collecting for me and I hope it is for everyone else as well. All the best to my friend-readers, Tnerb, surfer99, and Red Hook, and to everyone else who sticks there nose in here to see what I have to write about.

I leave you with a crop of the cover of the week - Cavalier Comics no. 2. Having handled most of those weapons at one time or another, I respect the unnamed artist for representing them well; what an ugly bunch of pole-arms.

Happy Hunting
