My New Mutants Collection is now obscured

I have glanced over a few of the profiles and saw a few things I liked and I few I disliked. I compiled thoughts and ideas on what I wish to do. Words I have plenty off, I think of which could be easily agreed upon. It is the pictures I find lacking. I have a few but most are not mine. The books are, but the pictures are not so I hope that starting with my favorite set to do something new, something worth looking at. I have slightly over 600 views on this set I want more.

The set is something I am proud of and maybe just maybe others will be proud of it too. Bagofleas has a set to rival my own. It is amazing how much he collects is what I also want to collect, not to mention he only started to collect comic books two years after I did. He has two full pages of sets that I find mouthwatering. Dazzler, Harbinger, Groo, Rom (Yes! Rom) and Star Wars being the next one I have a true desire to go after. I only mentioned a small portion of what I might add to my set list.

Of course I am going to wait a bit on this one. Surfer 99 also has an amazing older set list. If Bagofleas is mainly the eighties then the Surfer is the nineties. The one set that he has that might be one of the next sets I collect would be The Defenders. I am still of course going to go after my Sub-Mariner set but the earlier Defenders did have him as a member and then the later years they incorporated three of the original X-Men as The New Defenders. And although Doctor Strange is not on his list, I have been giving it a thought. Surfer 99 and I also seem to be going back and forth in the point's structure. Currently he is ahead of me.

So if Bagofleas is my eighties counterpart, and Surfer 99 is my seventies companion, Could Lee K be my sixties version. He introduced me to the Go-Go collection, a series that I would never collect; this is mostly due to the Go-Go set being DC and has no memories to attach to a few hundred dollar purchase (per an issue). Don't get me wrong but he does collect a slew of modern ages too. But these are some sets to look through and aspire too; at least they have for me.

As I collected through the years I thought to myself what I own was not nearly good enough. I bought comic book after comic book just to bring my collection up. I believed in quantity not quality. Now I have a reversal of that thought process. Of course 9.8's are the choice I mainly want but since most of my collection is modern age it is a fair bet that I can get them, unless it is a copy of New Mutants #58 or Annual #4 which none yet exist.

Once I am done with the New Mutants I will once again show off my set. Original pictures will accompany each slot, a description of what the book means to me will be edited, and I might go so far as creating some sort of collage for the back cover rather than the back cover itself, Haven't decided on that one yet. I just want to try to have the best set that I can have. I figure my favorite one should go first.

Thanks for Reading
