No, it is far from complete. I could have made a complete set by now if I bought lower grades & restored books but I have always chosen quality over quantity. I've only been collecting Timely's for 11 years so it certainly is a long-term goal. I do collect other comics from other publishers so that also takes away from buying more Timely's at times.

:headbang: (thumbs u That's very similar to the manner in which I collect, my focus being on interesting cover art and grade more than targeted runs.

 

That's a sweet looking #67, BTW. :applause:

hell, i love me all kinds of timely's!!!!!

 

That's telling em Billy! I chuckled at each of your last examples to West's post about quality over quantity.

 

Some of us, led by you, define quality in more ways than just high grade. Quality comes in all grades and levels of restoration, not just the big fancy number in the corner.

 

:)

 

West, Richard, and Cat have gorgeous collections, but I'd take yours any day :)

thanks pons! no doubt my collecting criteria doesn't maximize investment potential like exclusively hi-grade hunters get, but i have fun chasing my runs in any grade that meets the eye-test for me.
