Look at the great colors on this issue!

Hepcat, when I first started "collecting" comics in 1973 at the age of eleven I predominantly bought the Superman titles including Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Action, World's Finest, and the Superboy and Adventure titles as well. I specifically remember buying DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #21 (a Superboy issue) that when I opened it up and the Superboy story had a little box that said "Adventure of Superman when he was a boy" that was when I first realized they were the same person 
I also remember cleaning my neighbor's garage for $1 and the immediately going to 7-11 and buying DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #22 with the Flash and a Slurpee! I really loved those early giants, I also started buying Brave and the Bold starting with #112 and fell in love with the Viking Prince reprints. I ended up buying B&B until it's final issue, #200. t
Those giants frequently had cover galleries of the original issues or referred to them, that got me going on back issue hunts from an early age. 
I eventually started buying Amazing Spider-man, Avengers (George Perez issues) and the New X-Men as well. Around '84 I decided to narrow my back issue collecting to DC's and went on to complete Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Superboy runs, and got deep runs of silver age Superman, Action, Adventure and World's Finest. I limited myself to silver and early bronze age to keep the scope as something achievable, plus, those were the books I liked the most always. 
I bought new comics up till about five years ago, but have since mostly lost interest in them, although I do pick up the random TP now and then if something interests me. 
I think those of us that collect runs are a dying breed in comics. I love putting together full sets or deep runs. I have some titles I have been working on for decades, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I have every issue but continue to upgrade whenever I see a nice copy. 
Sugar and Spike, five issues away and a dozen or so I'd like to upgrade, a seriously impossible run to put together but I think I have a really nice run, possibly the best. 
Ok, enough rambling 

Thank you! I've been actively collecting Superman related titles for 40 years now! I don't try to get the best copies, just nice looking ones. I've found that as I've completed some runs I'm looking for upgrades of lower graded copies, it keeps my collecting interest high. I've also picked up some issue that are outside the range of issues I normally go after, such as these two because I liked the covers. 

I am amazed at the breadth of your collection Brian, and as usual, super nice copies!

There were three of these in last weeks Heritage, I won the cheap one 😂😳😭

Is this event really happening? They are selling tickets on their website, but other information seems really scarce. 

Those are great books! As a collector of some other esoteric DC's I think these are awesome!

I did not bid on the 1963 Rudolph because I think the colors on my copy are the very best I have ever seen. This scan has not been adjusted, those greens and reds are just awesome. The Heritage copy looks lackluster in comparison. I bought mine three years ago for $50...
