It is always fun to hear other people's stories regarding their favorite comics. If you have special connections to any of these books, or have similar back stories as any of mine, please share them!

#46 The adding of a Promise Collection comic was a must! I had my eye on about 100 candidates. This was not one of them. Prices were just too high for me to get a high grade mainstream Timely or DC issue. I changed my approach and bid on anything I thought was both cool and priced fairly. Still I had no luck. In the long run, I settled for buying a nice book at 1.5 times the price I thought was fair. Oh well, at least I have one.

#44 This was one of the 1st comics I ever owned. I am not sure how I got it, but I have vague memories of it being sold at my elementary school in Foster City California. It seems like it was offered with other kid's magazines such as Dynamite. I couldn't resist when I had a chance to buy the best copy out there!

#43 I wanted to include one Stan Lee Signature Series book in my collection. Instead of a key issue, I went with something a little more obscure. I am very happy with this one. It is the only Copper Age book that I own.

#42 This is just a place holder until I can afford to buy comics again.

#41 This was the 1st "back issue" I ever owned. I traded for it in 1975 at the age of 10 (obviously not this copy). I have always wanted a 9.8, but I haven't found one that looked as good as this one. I will keep looking! By the way, this is also my favorite Silver Age Daredevil cover.

#40 I really only wanted one price variant in my collection, so this will eventually be move on. I think it is the single highest graded.

#38 This is my oldest CGC book. It is not a standard pulp, not a comic, not a magazine. It is comic book sized and very cool. It was added to my Top 50, because I don't have anything better.

#34 The "I am Curious Black" cover. This book was hard to find in high grade! I always thought I get a 9.6+ copy, but the market has surpassed the price I was willing to pay.

#32 I have had other cool Romance Comics, but this is the one I didn't want to part with. Not quite a classic cover, but very appealing.

#30 Variant comics are not my thing! Having said that, I think Bronze Age price variants are pretty cool. This is the only 9.8!

#28 I am not a huge fan of Syd Shores, but this is my favorite of his covers. I like that it has a Stan Lee story!

"Ones That Got Away"....
I am sure that most every collector regrets selling a few books that they have owned. Here are the ones that make me sick:
