I’m glad you posted this. I’ll reread the responses a few times.
i consolidated into 10 big comics with the idea that these are such pinnacle books that I could never want for more. Well of course I wanted for more. I’m constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY, considering getting rid of the lot and replacing them with one a single book, but so far have been frozen into inaction. Meanwhile, the enthusiasm on the boards for certain genres has taken hold of me, so in the last few years, I’ve picked up smaller books here and there: maybe an LB Cole cover, maybe a romance Matt Baker cover, I’m up to maybe 20 slabs now.
I look at every big auction that comes along, and as I spot a new treasure, the 3 dimensional chess game begins anew in my head.
if I had a lick of sense, I’d just leave it alone and take up collecting a small silver spoon from every state.
