    God makes me feel like urrghh going to be hard to ever complete my run from 441 to 1 of things I have missing in over 300 issues. When things keep going up and up in prices. Really need to win that Power ball some time lol.

    I totally feel your pain, Webhead2018. I got back into collecting ASM in 2013, my LCS had two long boxes of someones personal collection, which I immediately jumped on, that consisted of issues 500-650, excluding some variants. I'm still working on my list too! 

  2. Good evening everyone. To be honest, I have been a member of CGC for just over one year plus.  I thoroughly enjoy reading posts on the plethora of topics listed on this fantastic site. I began collecting in 1984 at the age of 13. My very first comic I purchased from my little town's drugstore was Prince Namor The Sub-Mariner #1 of a four issue mini-series. From there I also purchased my very first Amazing Spider-Man issue #260, which I became an ASM addict. Discovered a LCS in Rochester, MN not soon after, which became my base of operations for collecting various titles. Ninety percent of my collection is Marvel, followed by Image a distant second, along with others, such as DC, Top Cow, Dark Horse, Mirage Studious,etc... I quit buying current Modern titles three years ago and only focusing on completing my ASM Vol 1. My Holy Grail of my entire collection is my Danger Girl 2 (Ruby Red), bought at the 1998 SDCC for $100. I finally had it signed by J. Scott Campbell at the Boston Comic-Con 2017, and recently was graded by CGC as a 9.8 SS.  I posted a photo of it on the J. Scott Campbell Appreciation Thread. In addition, my collection totals at 4,256 books, 80 of which are slabbed. Currently reside in El Paso, TX. Thank you.

  3. Recently submitted an autographed comic book to CGC for SS.  Book came back as an SS CGC 9.6.  Had a question concerning the notes provided and emailed CGC, which they responded in a timely manner.  I had two choices; e.g., regrading or review.  I chose review.  I will take responsiblity for not asking what a review consist of, which is why I am asking the subject matter experts here.  In addition, upon receiving said book from the reveiw, CGC provided no new notes as to the review.  Seriously thinking on cracking it, due to rarity and value of book; e.g., Danger Girl 2 (Ruby Red Cover).  Thank you.
