So I got this guy today. Just need to wait for it to arrive.

Got all of these signed at Fan Expo Dallas. The foil covers don't show up too well on my scanner though. 

A couple more in for the day, got 458-461, 470-499, and then 580-607 today.
There are some random books higher up I am missing but it’s really close to being done.
what’s left to get is the stuff that will cost more, especially 423.

I’m almost done with my batman run I wanted to get.
down to like 16 books, I have 2 random modern books to get and then a few of the older books.
I’ll post pics once I get it done

Recent addition to the collection

Great book, and a first print too - congrats!

I haven’t totally decided but I suspect I may be working on this as well

The place that is by my house only sells new titles, but I don’t know what people buy as I have never talked to the people that work there.
It appears they sell the main batman title as when I went on thursday to get 136 it was already sold out

Vacation mode is available for all ebay users now, not just for ebay store users. It’s any easy option to flip on if you’re going to be gone when something may end and disrupt your normal business plans.
anyway we can probably talk about other stuff now

After pressing books I always used E.Gerber Full backs to keep the books as flat as possible prior to sending to CGC. Now take a look at how flimsy these new ones are. I might have to start pressing these too. 🤷‍♂️
 

so this week I got batman 445, 450-451, 458-473, 475-496, and 498-499 for my copper books. 

I did not even know about this, just checked my copy and it does have the "Kool Aid" packet, When I graded my copy a few years back I must not have even thought twice about it, probably said, "Hey a Kool Aid Pack, Cool" and moved on.
This issue also has a sealed card inside to subscribe to "Spider-Man Magazine for Kids".
From looking online I was only able to find pics of 4 graded copies, 3 by CGC, 1 by the other guys, the labels do mention the Kool Aid Pack...
"Direct Editions Have A Kool Aid Sample Pack Included", however, there is no mention of the "Subscription Card". 
The majority of books for sale on eBay are mentioned by the seller that the Kool Aid Pack is included, however, since this is a low $ book, there probably is not much interest, should something happen and this book becomes "Hot", there will probably be a lot of interest in the included items being there.
Looking at Go Collect, the site shows there have been 3 issues graded as "Qualified", I do not have an account so I cannot see why they received  Qualified labels.

CGC's inconsistency with inserts/etc has not helped me understand them at all.

So I used to have:
Ultimate spiderman complete
Wolverine vol 1/2/3 (up to that point) complete
All  the blackest night books
All the civil war books
Batman new 52 complete 3 different times
Immortal Hulk complete
Every DC Bernie Wrightson cover 
Now I am currently looking at a modern batman run, but still have a ways to go on it. 

Yeah it was really cool for sure. The 66 batman was super cool to see.
For 608-713, I have 27 books to go.
I had picked up 655 and 656 last week for a pretty good deal so the rest are all fairly common books in the run.
on new 52, I now have 1-17, getting death of the family story arc last week.
