2009 Goals

[seank]

Is it too early to start this thread? Now that I'm going to be collecting a paycheck again, I can be collecting comics again. So here goes:

 

Two main goals:

 

- Finish Sky Girl sub run in Jumbo Comics. 21 more, or 22 if you count issue 79 to prevent a gap in the run.

 

- Fill in 50% or more of Brave and Bold run. Of that, about half should be in the pre-hero issues. 56 total books to complete run, so 23 or more issues in 2009.

 

- Paul Dini SS

 

Secondary goals:

 

- More HG CGC Batmans between 263 and 300.

 

- More DC war, Fight Comics, and non-FH Matt Baker books.

 

And peripherally related: Buy some lowbrow (or pop surrealist) art.

Realistically though I think my 2009 goal is going to complete at least 60% of my all-flash run. And do some major damage to my detective comics runs.

 

Keys will be the real hard choices. Maybe a Hulk 181, upgrade my X-Men 94 and complete that run (94-current) in NM or better (should only be another 40 books). And kill off a bunch of minor keys

Yes it's too early...but I'll play

 

After getting sidetracked this year and spending the bulk of my play-money on original art I'll try and go after a few more comics in 2009...

 

Goals :

 

• Complete JIM + Thor (up to #400)
  
• Complete TOS + Iron Man (up to #400)
  
• Complete Incredible Hulk (from # 102 to #550)
  
• Complete Daredevil #1 - #100 (would actually want to do this in the next month or so)
  
• Collect all GA and SA Batman Joker covers
  
• Buy an EC Wally Wood 50's SF original art page

1. Sell as much of my comic book collection as possible

2. Buy only trades that I must read and buy only raws that I can CGC

3. Move remaining OA that doesn't fit my focus of last couple years

4. Focus 80% of my comics money on Kitson and Mahnke OA.

[kc120us]

2009 will be a very slow collecting year for me. Pick up the last few pieces I'm missing in my X-men set and continue past 500.

[towards2112]

Quit being so picky and finish my National Comics run.

Quit being so picky and finish my Our Gang / Tom and Jerry run.

Sell 99% of the comics I have no love for.

Read what I already have bought, instead of trying to string

a set of 25-30 issues together thinking I'm going to be

seriously interested in the story line.

[Shootydog]

Firesale the remainder of my collection that I care nothing about anymore. Should be down to 4 boxes by then.

 

Continue the Mike Grell collection. (never ending)

 

Buy a mid to high grade copy of All Star Western #10 to complete my Jonah Hex collection.

 

Begin searching for Solomon Kane books.
