Well...i made the deal.  I had to throw a couple other things at it, but it's done.  So, while I no longer own an FF5...I do own this.  
 
 
 

Beautiful books, GLWTS!

Terrible long term, probably should get rid of it quickly, thus sell it to me and only me 

I miss 2014 and 2015

A little over a year later, I think we’ve got an answer. You can’t find these on eBay or even My Comic Shop for less than $600 now, and a search of completed auctions shows that plenty are selling at that price point.

Well, that worked out

Just got these back.  Both for sale if interested.  I have the 62 posted in the sale room.

I started collecting in 1985.  Friend of mine in my dorm in college asked if I wanted to go to the comic book store.  One of the first books I bought was X-Men 201 or 202...something like that.  One thing lead to another and I ended up with the full run 1-350 or something around there.  But it was issues 94-141 that I was focused on completing in the early days.  
What run did you first complete??
 

Conan 1 to 100, in the late 70s.
I only started buying Conan with issue 75 and I had a lot of back issues to find.  Difficult at first for me in the UK, with few dealer contacts or even much idea how to go about the task.
Getting the BWS issues was a fairly slow process, pricey, and a bit generally overgraded from the source I used.
Then, I discovered comic marts in Manchester, and I picked up all the issues from 25 to 50 at one show, NM, about 50p each, apart from the non-distributed, Adams-drawn issue 37.
The issues up to 75 were easy to fill in, but the title soon ceased being distributed to the UK, and I was concerned that this would once again impede my then eager progress.  However, a few months later there were several dealers at the mart that started selling imported cent copies, and I could continue easily.
I got to issue 100, and then stopped.  I can't recall why I suddenly lost interest.
In parallel with this, I also collected Savage Sword of Conan, managing to find issues 11 up either distributed on the UK newsstand or later as import copies, as with the main Conan title.
I ordered 1 to 10 from a mail order dealer here, and, when the family returned from a summer holiday in Germany that year, a parcel containing all the issues in superb NM condition was awaiting me, which was a nice surprise to come back to.
I continued to issue 50 with the magazine, and then, once again, suddenly stopped.
Definitely a fond collecting memory.

Hmmm, first was probably house of mystery 174-321
i was close on asm 1-300, but never had 2 or 10
now... nothing, but closing in on that hom run again
