Big time GA geek, but with only a modest budget. I've got my old SA collection from my teenage years (70's), collected from Cherokee, Bond Street and Collector's, my BA stuff from the news stands (spent a whole dollar on 5 copies of Shazam! #1 - still biding my time before I cash in on that investment ) and a smattering of older stuff whenever I could find it. After coming back to collecting in 2019 with somewhat disposable income, a 40 year (!) hiatus, it's a rare nickle that goes to anything not GA. The DC GA that I'm interested in is just too expensive! Primarily the Spectre/Dr Fate More Fun era, Sandman/Hourman/Starman Adventure era, and early All-Stars. Still looking for a reasonably priced Phantom Stranger #1 to complete that set.
NB: I'm really enamored with my PS #5 - gorgeous colors and composition. Prices seem to be softening on the title and maybe I'll get that #1 sometime soon.
Most of my budget seems to have gravitated to trying to put together a WWII-era Speed Comics run. Got pulled in by #26, then started spreading out from there. Wonder if I'll ever see a #25 for sale - or if I could afford it?
