I completed my ASM run a year or so ago, excluding AF 15. I also have full runs of MTU, PPSS, WoS, Spider-Man, etc. I wasn't sure what to do next either. I finally decided to collect the 60's and 70's Spidey appearances in other titles. (I think there's somewhere online that has all his appearances in chronological order congruent with his title). I also am in the process of getting 1 - 100 graded by CGC. I'm about 75% done there. I'll also be looking to upgrade and then selling off the under copies as I go. So I'll theoretically always be collecting Spider-Man. Which brings me happiness and joy. As ASM is the only title I have any passion for anymore. I'm in the process of selling other runs to help further these goals. For example : I used to love Batman and the X-Men as well. I finally gave up collecting both Batman and Detective titles because of how the modern books were written where I didn't recognize who Batman was any longer. So much so that I began to dislike Batman. I sold off all my GA Batman and Detectives through a well known auction site a year and a half ago. I am now beginning the process with my SA books. I had/have full runs of both Batman and Detective incl. annuals from the start of the SA. Batman 122 to whatever was present a year ago, and Detective 238 to whatever was present a year ago. I do have all the Omnibus' in case I ever want to read his GA adventures. I had/have the full run of X-Men GS 1 to present and was missing 7 issues to finish 1 - 66. Same thing with X-Men, none of them resemble what I once adored and now are just characters that I pretty much despise. Letting these books go is made easier because of my antipathy for modern books.

Latest CC wins. Upgraded my ASM and picked up 2 more for their respective runs.

Latest CC wins.

Picked up all of these at the Shortboxed show yesterday.

Latest CC win.

Recent ComicLink wins. Down to needing a Crow 2 in the 9.2-9.4 range.

CC wins. Very excited about all purchases but especially Crow 1. Sold my NM copy 30 years ago.

Won these 3 in the latest Heritage. My thirst for this run wasn’t subsided after completing it so I started a second one.

My two HA pickups. Love Byrne Spider-Man.

I may have overpaid for this book. This issue has been a difficult one for me to find in this range and it’s the last one I needed to finish the run.

Latest CC auction wins. Finished Ghost Rider run and a little closer to finishing a few others.

Two nice pickups. Need only four more to finish the run.

My winnings from the recent CC auction. A few runs now closer to completion.

Pretty happy with my wins. Got the two I was focused on.

If it wasn't for #11, I'd argue that this is the best G. A. Batman cover

Their new website(s) format is alright enough. Other dealers websites could be critiqued for their own flaws as well. No one is or will ever be perfect. The best part of ordering from either CC or Metro is that it takes more than a month for the package to arrive. So when I finely receive my books, it is a pleasant surprise since I will have completely forgot about buying them. And not too many things are better than receiving an unexpected gift from a loved one.

Whittling down the 50's 'Tecs and an odd 40's issue

My CC win. One of the tougher 50's 'Tecs

Is there a resource other than the Gerber books where I can find out the scarcity of individual comics? I'm working on the Detective comics run. Specifically 'Tec 155 to 235. Certain books seem more scarce than others. I'm aware of the general scarcity of the early 50's books regardless. Thanks

Latest additions. Trying to finish off the SA but I keep getting sidetracked.

Latest HA wins. Working on both Batman And Detective runs. Almost done with SA and chipping away at the GA. Realistic goal for me will be everything from January 1950 to present

Two cool Penguin covers from a recent auction(s) wins.

October was a nice month.

2 pickups from latest HA. questions: The 180 is from the Murphy Anderson collection that is now a pedigree? How do I submit this to ensure this designation? Also, the 120 is the nicest 3.0 I’ve seen, the slight spine roll and the back are obviously why it’s a 3.0, in people’s opinion, would it be worth my while to get it pressed and regraded in hopes of a grade bump? Thanks!
