There was no way I would ever come close to a full set of these, but I did like the idea of collecting them, so I went after price variants of titles I liked. I had a handful of 30¢ variants of Thor 250, Cap 200, Marvel Feature 4, Marvel Spotlight 28 and all the Warlock (12-14) 30¢ variants. Recently, I picked up all the Ms. Marvel (6-10) 35¢ variants, so those fit nicely in my run.

If you collect a certain title then find the variant. If you like Spider-Man then look for Spider-Man. If you like X-Men then look for X-Men.
Now don't look for Sgt. Fury if you don't like Sgt. Fury. People think hard-to-find variant books are key but they are not. Grail to some but never key. You will get bored fast and end up listing your hard-to find variants for sale or auction and taking a loss on the time and money you wasted finding them.
Don't worry, keldog is not bitter at all (thumbs u
I did not mean to sound bitter. My point was to collect what you like and not is the in demand book that others are looking for to complete there set.
I was agreeing with Ball on going for titles you like.
The hunt for these books are fun if you have passion for the books you want.
I hope the new owners of that Cap #212 error books will enjoy those books in their collection. (thumbs u
I'm still looking for the owners of the IF#14 9.4 to sell .
No I know, sometimes you do end up selling a really tough to find book for what seems like cents on the dollar...
Leave the tough ones for those that really, really want them (thumbs u
I blame my woes on paying bills as stopping me from ever completing a set. That and a wife.
