What do you mean it's over already?

I planned on bringing only ten comics to get graded and I brought 19. I planned on bringing some books for a pre-screening and opted not to(and I am glad I didn?t bring them). I became closer to completing my run of Daredevil Vol. 1. I even picked up quite an amount of Submariner Vol. 1, and I even purchased a copy of Avengers #57 after three years of searching for the price comparative to the condition (still paid too much but they are there to make money). I bought bags and boards (but not as many as last year) and some hardcover TPB?s. I am finally reading the Avengers/Invaders story line.

I didn?t buy any graded books this year probably because I am getting such good deals on E-bay and Heritage that they seemed a bit outrageous. I mean seriously $5200 for a Daredevil Vol.1 #7 in a 9.2. The same guy has had it over a year. I say start marking it down and sell the thing. I understand wanting a firm price but that little book is taking up retail space. Of course I would gladly pay you $100 for it (hey it?s my journal I can dream a little bit.)

I do have lots and lots of reading material not to mention an entry about how well I graded my books to what they graded my books. I did not get many 9.8?s on a few of the extra books I gave them to grade (maybe they read 9.8 for 9.8?s sake). I knew that would back fire. All in all I had a good time. I spent no more than I saved for (although I easily could have) but I do have a local convention in a month and a half, and I have a better eye for what I want because once I am done with my Sub-Mariner collection I am jumping to Tales to Astonish starting with #70. I guess I owe to CGC for making collecting comics fun again, I just didn't think they would do it for raw copies too.

Thanks for Reading
