Am I trying to do too much?

I am not happy. It is more with me than anything else. It has been almost a full month since I sat down with CGC and talked to them about, well?.CGC. I never knew how difficult it was to transcribe anything before my interview with Brag Guigar. I haven?t even begun to tackle what I have with Mike Grell. With CGC I thought what I was writing became too long and it felt like something was missing. After a single press of the delete (OK it was more of the mouse click and move to the recycle icon) key I was about to start over.

I am going to tackle this one question at a time, maybe two depending on how well the questions coincide. I?ll string them together for Comicbooked.com in its entirety when I am done the individual journals right here on the registry. So what has been happening recently? I helped someone with getting a comic book into their collection. I came one step closer to completing a set. I found another New Mutants book I needed and one I wanted.

I am writing on my schedule rather than someone else?s and I have decided to start collecting Locke & Key. I already have my first issue but I am not telling which one yet.

Now that I am able to take pictures a lot better I plan on updating all my sets. If you wish to take a look at my X-Infernus set you will see what I am talking about. I wanted to write about photographing slabs but between my laziness, lack of knowledge, and constantly working I was not able to take a good picture without a reflection. I still have the reflection but it is not very noticeable. After all this time I can work on ?The cost of? Photographing Slabs.?

I have also been making a conscious effort of upgrading my New Mutants set to a signature series. My duplicates will eventually sell, but I might try getting them signed first. I do have two copies out for a recent Stan Lee signing, which stopped me from getting anything sent to CGC for Joe Quesada. The two books for Stan Lee I am having Comics to Astonish take care of are X-Men #10 and Daredevil #7. I am currently praying for grades around 6.5 or 7.0. I would be happy with a 6.0. The other books I plan on getting signed are from my New Mutants set?.. How could I not have Bob Mcleod sign them?.and I hope down the line Chris Claremont.

I still need to send in books (50) I want graded but it looks like I will need to update my membership first. This following year I hope to actually use it especially if I want to have 300 slabs by December 31st. I do have three books I handed over to CGC when they were in Philadelphia for SDCC. I am hoping for a signature from Louise Simonson, two were my own and the third was the 9.6 copy of issues number 70. I hope the slap presses it into a nice 9.8. Which is what it looked like to me? Thank you for supporting me, thank you for reading my thoughts, and thank you for helping this hobby become so much fun again for me. Next up?.
