Selling books I want to keep is a drag...

Sometimes you have to sell quality books to get quality books. This is what I'm faced with currently. I really want to build up my Xmen the Missing Years set. These would be the appearances the X-men and Xvillains made in other comic books, outside the Xmens own title, during the time between teams. This is my primary collecting goal. My secondary goal is to complete my Xmen 94 through 143 set. The problem is there are books I want to get to fulfill the first goal, but Ive already exceeded my self imposed monthly comic budget for May. I could wait until June, but of course Im trying to recapture the number one rank in this particular set and since the deadline for set registration is in June, I cant wait that long. The only thing left to do is begrudgingly let go of some of my Xmen books to fund the other books I want to pick up. It stinks, but I tell myself that finding the Xmen books again wont be difficult whereas the other books I want to get arent as easy to find so this is a good move. Yeah, I will just keep telling myself that. Has anyone else ever been faced with this dilemma, or am I the only one with limited funds and a wish list I cant always afford?

Til next time...
