Can you add a new set?

Strange Tales 135 - 168.  Nick Fury Agent of Shield issues.

Thank you

Steve

HI

I agree with one idea put forth... add a point bonus based on size of collection.

Perhaps as the collection increases in size points would increase.  A collection that is 5% complete would include a 5% bonus in points.  A 10% complete collection a 10% bonus.  This would reward each step of the way.  Then perhaps as the collection is nearly complete a bonus would begiven at 96%, 97%, 98% etc. The points would be percentages of the points you have earned.  A higher graded collection would receive a percent of the points they have, not just a set amount of points.  Everyone likes to see growth and reward for efforts.

Regards

Steve

I don't think you are being a jerk.

I DO think you are defining a collection by your standards. 

If someone is just chasing first appearances then their collection is of Marvel 1st appearances.   I have an X-Men 1 and I have no desire nor intention to pick up any of the others.  But I also have an AF15, ST110 and a bunch of others because I collect ASM and Marvel 1st Appearances. 

In my registry set I have another book that is the only entry of it's category because while I do not collect that title, I like collecting EC covers that appeal to me. 

I know someone that only has 1 comic book.  They actually do have a Hulk 181 because they like Wolverine.  They also have Wolverine statues, action figures and original art. 

A collection is defined by the person collecting and what their particular interest is. 

Yeah.  I can see that, good point.

I don’t know much at all about the registry in general.  I don’t participate in it.  But, are you saying you have a complete, slabbed run of FF?  Minus the 1 and 5?  That is quite the accomplishment and you should be proud.

Yeah.  100 regular books, slabbed and 7 annuals, also slabbed.  Its the gem of my collection.

Hmm.  Personally, I feel that you need to have at least 2 items to make it a “collection”.  
 

Now, as far as one item automatically being an “investment” over a “collection”, I don’t agree with that.  I have several books in my collection that are the only issue from a given series that I own.  One item alone doesn’t necessarily make it an investment.  I only have one copy of Starslayer 2 9.8, but I wouldn’t call it an investment.  I’m not betting that the Rocketeer is going to buy me a car one day.  I have the book because the character is one of my favorites.  That one book is, a part of my collection.

I guess it boils down to what you think a collection is.  Which is different for everyone.

 

 

 

I didn't mean every one issue "collection" is an investment.  I used that word because it is FF48, and at that grade worth a car or two.

I can sympathize but

Might get better traction

Hey...Thanks for the advice. Did it!

Am I being a jerk?

I have a FF collection (Lee/Kirby run)  that CGC lists as 98% complete.  I'm missing FF1 and FF5. It is my pride and joy it represents 50 years of collecting.  I'm not a millionaire so the grades are all over the place. I'm ranked at 67th in points..

Now this is what bugs...

There a "collection" a couple spots ahead of me that contains ONE COMIC.  It is a beauty, FF48, 9.8. But is that a collection?  Its an investment. Its a fabulous book. But its ONE COMIC.

How is that a collection?  I think that unless you have... say 10% you don't have a collection, and it shouldn't be listed as such.

I wouldn't take it as a gift.  Would never buy it.

Think I previously requested this on the wrong post... Sorry.

12 cent Superman 150 - 217.

!2 cent Action Comics 283- 376.

The first to the last 12 cent issues. THE HEART OF THE SILVER AGE.

This turns huge sets into doable chunks.

How about Action 283 - 376 every 12 cent issue? From the first 12 cent to the first 15 cent.

Action is too huge to collect.  And the 301 - 400, 401 - 500 sets are so artificial.  

Action Comics 12 cent- Heart of the Silver Age.

Set Created. Thank you

I think just about any 12 cent run makes sense.

How about Superman 150 - 217? All 12 cent issues.  When looking at Superman sets they seem rather sparse. Not many own or can afford the 1 - 440 run. Seems logical to break huge runs into smaller sets.

How about Superman 150 - 217.  The first 12 cent comic to the last comic before the price increased to 15 cents?

The Heart of the Silver Age.

So much Frazetta goodness.  

The Frazetta posters continue along the wall and around.  There are over 30 of them.

Congratulations; very nice room;
could you post a close up picture of the OA cover of the Fantastic Four annual?
is One of my favorites cover...

Thor #126-#177 (Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Run)

I think this must be a new set added recently.  

But it is incomplete, Thor annual 1 and 2 should be added to it along with Tales of Asgard #1.

How about a set of Tales of Suspense featuring Captain America TOS 59-99?

How about Thor 126-177 the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run on the book.

I can't believe this isn't already a set.

I Just bought some BCW GRADED COMIC BAGS they are 8 1/2 x 13 7/16 and you CAN NOT get a CGC case of the new size in them.

I saw some bags sized 9 x 14 1/4 but, I feel that will be too baggy. (no pun)

I had some older bags that would fit the new case if you were really careful but I don't remember the brand.

Does anyone have a better product they could recommend. Looking for snug fit, with a clear bag.

How do you put a picture in a post to show a comic room. My pictures are not on the internet. Whats with wanting a URL address?
