Finished my Wrightson Swamp Thing (HoS #92 and #1-10) raw run this year and am going to make a run at a registry set of same.

 

Need only a #10 and Giant Size #1-4 for my Tomb of Dracula raw run. Depending on the Swamp Thing reg, I may get a start on a registry run of ToD as well.

Why is Bernie leaning to one side, and someone's arm is missing?

Gonna try and fight the fatness myself this year as well. Collecting? I will probably continue to be schizophrenic and buy whatever target of opportunity fits my collection...

No wonder why he can work on so many books quickly.

More trades and HC's. Finish a few runs. Sell off some comics. Haven't decided what though, just planning on transitioning from floppy to HC.

Actually - this is my collection:

 

About 250 slabs

108 makes up the AF15-ASM100 and Annual 1-7 Run

Assorted Key issues and Golden Age books.

 

Complete set of Eternal Warrior books

Complete set of Amazing Spider-man - AF15-700 with almost a full raw and slabbed duplicates from AF15-100

Modern Valiant Collection 2012-

 

I am still looking to trim this down.

 

My collecting goals are to sell off more of the "geek" stuff and make room.

Superman 15 is such an amazing cover and a pro WWII propaganda story that I was pleased getting mine with tear seals and slight cover touch. Go after that one. You will not be disappointed.

[Dark Knight]

No goals for me yet..

[Psithyrus]

Well, I'm looking at getting a house this year, so I think my goals will be modest.

 

I'd will pay off a book I've had on a payment plan for awhile. I think I'd like to keep plugging away at my X-Men run, so if I can grab a few of the earlier ones, I'll be happy.

 

I'm visiting my parents, and I found 8 longboxes. I was digging through them, and there were some decent books in the first four. Four more to flip through! So, 2012 ended pretty well for me!

[miraclemet]

More GL Signature Series A Denny/Neal double and a Denny/Grell double.

More Ladies in White, maybe even an upgrade or two.

One more SA key.

 

Grail: Gil Kane autographed Green Lantern comic (alas can never be SS) with decent provenance so I can feel relatively certain about its authenticity.

 

[Ramses717]

1) Tales of Suspense 39 CGC 4.5 - 5.0

 

2) Showcase 17 CGC 5.0ish

 

3) Keep adding to my Snyder/Capullo SS run (and meet both of them)

 

4) Greg Capullo sketch on a Batman 0 blank (I can dream, can't I?)

 

Those are my main ones, but I know if a good opportunity came up for a key I still need, I'd probably take it.

 

 

[Arkham]

Just landed 5 books, or 50%, of my original goal. Stoked.

 

Have room for future upgrade too. :-)

 

Adding to goals, I'd love to also pick up the DoTF Die Cuts in yellow label.

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

I'm becoming quite disinterested in collecting comics, so continuing all the way through next year will be the big challenge.

Ditto.

 

I still want an FF#1 though. But being self-employed now scares me enough to stay away from such frivolous purchases...
