I joined the club a little earlier in the summer - I was saving up for something non-comic related but made the switch when I realized I could and should. Still happy about the decision; still pumped!

Muchos kudos to Arcade for the great looking X-Men that I got in the mail today. Loved the uber fast delivery. Thanks again Leon!

Many kudos to branget for a terrific X-Men book and to G.A.tor for this slick new OSPG. Thanks guys (thumbs u

Kudos to schlep for the very nice X-Men #50. Great communication, packaging, and book! (thumbs u Also, overdue kudos to ft88 for some terrific Bronze X-Men. Very happy with them. (thumbs u

Finally, thank you ft88 for the very nice bronze X-Men! That's my haul - thanks for looking! D

I just got back in town after a couple of weeks, which means... backed up mail full of comics! One step closer to finishing off this run, just need 2,3,5 and a couple random later issues: One of my fave covers: Random Bending - loving the back cover: Donald

congrats Congrats I want to thank Andre (campued1010) for letting me take my time to pay off the book Congrats to you and Andre! Looking forward to seeing you post it, I would love to get a copy in that range down the road.

A couple of recent pickups. Loving Adams' work on 60, though 32's motorcycle beatnik throwdown is certainly fun.

Love seeing all these great copies in one place. I'm no member yet - my goal is to get one by December 21, 2012. Hopefully sooner.

Big kudos to DrWatson for the terrific Paul Smith X-Men slabs. Great packaging and arrived very fast - even a southern snow () didn't slow it down. Thank you!

I thought this was a neat modern since it was built off of an old Cockrum sketch. I had been waiting for one to pop up on the bay, and was the sole bidder, so there may be no general interest but I was happy to get it in the mail yesterday.

Kudos to comicguy12901 for the great assortment of X books. Terrific packaging and communication. Thanks again!

I am going a bit broader and just lumping the original run and the reprints together as the run I'm going after now. I know I'll eventually want both and that 1/2 the time the books I pick up are due to what I feel is a favorable price presenting itself to me. The rest of the time are those books that I actively seek out. My eyes are constantly wandering, though, and I'm pretty bad at picking books up that are outside of 1-93, whether it be upgrades to later runs, pretty slabs, or whathaveyou. The one thing I am squarely focused on is the grade I'd like to stay within for each era, and I am aiming to pick up 1-3 SA books a month depending on what's going on in life. Definitely not in a rush - wouldn't be able to be in one even if I wanted. If you miss out on a book, there will most likely be another book out there that interest you, which is great. Or maddening. I can give myself temporary boundaries to play within, but in reality there is no stopping point. Donald

Thanks, yall - I had been eyeing various tens since I got back into the hobby last year. I'm really stoked about it! First time doing "price negotiations," so that was a bit of a learning experience.

Here's my recent grab, I always loved the savage land stories.
