    #6 This was relatively inexpensive in 2017! I am glad I bought it when I did.

    #5 This was the first comic I spent over $3,000 for. It was purchased on eBay in 2005. I am not sure why the sale doesn't appear on GPA, but I think I paid $7,300 for it.

    #2 I bought this one in May 2017 in a Comiclink auction. I always wanted a Schomburg war cover, so I overpaid for this. Looking back, it now seems like a bargain.

    #1 This is the book I traded half of my collection to obtain. When I started collecting comics in 1974, Daredevil quickly became the title I liked best. By 1980 I had the entire run. My original #1 had a subscription crease and was in GD/VG. As an adult, I bought a CGC 9.0 copy, but I really wanted a super-high grade copy to be the cornerstone of my collection. In 2021 I pulled the trigger and got this one.

    Reboot of an earlier journal.... After years of trying to collect every comic I could find, I once owned 100,000 comics (most of them almost worthless). By selling, trading, and buying; I transformed my collection to just 50 comics. I previously created a journal picturing those 50 comics. Late last year I parted with half of my books to buy a childhood grail of mine. I have slowly been adding comics to get back to 50. I tried to edit my last journal, but I was unable to change my initial 50 entries. So, I have decided to start fresh with a new journal. I will update the list when new comics arrive, as well as explain why I got the book and/or kicked out the old ones. This serves for a digital library for me to enjoy my books while they sit in safe storage. It is mostly for my entertainment, but feel free to comment if you wish!
