    Running for Tecs

    By NewForceComics,

    Completing Tec 27-53
    hello all...
    well, I have done it....why?, I love Batman, always have, always will...what? completed my Detective comics Run, issue 27-53....cost? let's put it this way, I sold my favorite Ferrari to help fund my "passion"...the books....well, the 27 was bought unrestored 1.0, and Matt Nelson is restoring now...28 is a restored 8.0, but looking for an unrestored...I now own 3 copies of 29, upgrading each time (have a 5.5 slight, a 6.5 mod, and a 7.0 ext)...still working on a lower grade unrestored copy...have 2 #30's (had 3, but traded one away)...restored 9.0, and unrestored 4.0...#31...one restored 8.0, one unrestored 5.0...my 32 is a 5.0, 33 is a 4.5, 34 is a 3.0 (recent heritage purchase)...35 is a 5.5 ext (working on an unrestored now)...36 is a restored 8.0 (cosmic aeroplane copy)...my 37 is 2.5, my 38 is a restored 6.0 (will get an unrestored one soon)....39-53 all unrestored, varying from 4.0 to 8.0....a passion, indeed....but, now that I am "done", what do I do? (after all, the hunt is a lot of the fun)...I guess I upgrade and sell my under copies...I do have a nice restored #1...maybe I will work backwards...

    Batman 1-103

    By NewForceComics,

    Slabbed and Scanned...
    Hello all...
    I have finally completed my Batman GA run, and am in the process of scanning the books that are back from CGC. 1-50 are all done, with 2 exceptions (waiting on arrival), and I have about 25 books from 51-103 that are currently being graded. While I know I will never had the "best" set (Mile High, Larson, etc that I don't think possible to own), I hope to put together one of the best cgc graded sets.
    thanks

    2-92 is done!
    Got my first MMC (#74, I believe) from a buddy of mine in Feb of 2007...and I was hooked (I had never owned a timely before!)...9 months later, no, I didn't have another baby, but I did finish my Marvel Mystery Comics run...that's right...2-92 is complete...only 2 issues are restored (3 is the Nick Cage former copy) and 22 had a staple replaced, but looks so nice, I am keeping...rest are unrestored blue, ranging from 1.8 (my #9 and the tough #86) all the way to a few 9.0 (crippin and one olshevsky)...fun stuff...now, working on Captain America!

    The great migration...
    An opportunity in our shopping complex has arisen. We are going to expand our store by about 40% more space. I guess that's the good news. What's the bad, you ask? Moving a long time, well established store.
