Men its exactly the topic i search! I love so much reading people stories about her collection.
Im going to share with you my personal experience.
My name is Jeremy and i live in this small country in the center of the Europe, the Switzerland. In my country nobody collect comics and they're nothing to buy from DC or Marvel in the newstaand. The small group of people collecting comics just buy some keys and not really read them...
But for me is different, reading is a passion! Its now 1years i save money for a amazing and really expensive project. And i started to invest in 3month ago.
I wanted to create a really coherent collection and i think there are very few people on the world get this entire line.
What is it? Collecting entire post crisis era series of my favourites heroes.
I started it with Batman, i defined "Year one" as the start of this amazing road who's finish in 2011 with the issue 713.
That represent 310 books. And i already collected 284 (with almost every keys) , so its now just a question of time.
You cannot imagine how i fell. So powerful!
Thats a really hard work to collect them, because of my location i have to pay expensive delivery fees and wait a lot to receive the books. Try to find the best deal, bargain and bargain with the sellers. And its so satisfaying now to can say: i succeeded!
That probably appear common and stupid for an american people but for me its like to have the greatest treasure on earth.
And i want to conclude this with just 3 words: I AM BATMAN!
