if you had $2000 to blow, what comic would you get?

[techvoodoo]

I quit smoking 7 months ago and I've probably saved $1200 roughly so far by not buying cigarettes. I think by the 12 month mark I'll be at about $2000. So if you were going to buy yourself a nice celebration comic book present for between $1500-$2000 what would you go for?

 

WD#1 will not be on my list, but maybe an ASM14 or a Hulk181. I'm not sure, I've got a few months to think about it.

[techvoodoo]

Oh, and yes this is a thinly veiled brag about hitting my 7th month of non-smoking

Congrats on quitting smoking. It's not easy to do.

I'm smoke free for over 5 years now.

 

I'd buy a sick piece of Wrightson original art, but that's just me.

Hulk 181 would be on my short list, too.

Awesome,when I quit I would put the money that I would spend on a pack of cigarettes in a jar every day.Man does the money add up quickly.Good for you on quitting.

[techvoodoo]

thank you both. it's strange i still crave a cigarette every day (or a cigar/pipe/skoal... i love tobacco ). figured i'd be over that by now.

This!

 

And congratulations on quitting that nasty habit! (thumbs u

[The-Collector]

Congrats man! I remember when I quit it was f**** hell. It is commendable that you have made it this far.

 

I would go with a CAC 78 or possibly some raw bronze GSX1 and Hulk 180.

[AnkurJ]

Congrats on stopping smoking! Id say Amazing Spiderman 1 in 2.0.

Or an Action 17 in 3.0.

 

Personally I feel both have potential.

The craving gets better every day, but even now at 5 years I still occasionally think it would be nice to smoke "just one."

I had quit several times through my adult life and after a year or so would give in and smoke "just one." The just one thing doesn't work. The only way to quit is to never pick up another one.

 

It does get easier every day, though. If you've gone 6 months you have it whipped. (thumbs u

$2000 can get you an hours worth of...nevermind. Spend it on hair product is what I'd probably do.

......congrats......and the beauty is that you'll have an extra 2K for EVERY year you stay clean (nicotine IS a drug).....I wish I could quit smoking those damn "coffin nails". GOD BLESS....

I quit smoking 7 months ago

 

[spracknetch23]

I'd have a rough time choosing between AF15, ASM1 and Hulk 1. Probably Hulk 1 as it would complete my run.

[Senormac]

That takes alot of will power. Congrats on your 7 month mark

+1

 

I would usually lapse for just one at the 9month mark. It took repeating that mistake three times to learn that quitting meant total abstinence.

How about a WD #19 CGC SS 9.8 triple signed with a remark/small sketch on it from Tony Moore.

 

[dupont2005]

I'd more than likely buy a bunch of less expensive comics and finish off several runs. But if I had to spend it on one, I guess Albedo #2. I'd still have change

[Beige]

Well done on quitting.

I'd get a WFC #3 7.0 - 7.5 (1st scarecrow).

Thats just me though.

Gone are the days when you could get an AF #15 for $2000. Possibly a .5 or a PLOD or GLOD but not much else.

[XXXPHOENIX]

I would buy AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #9 in cgc 9.0
