I wonder if that Pep would survive 900 years from now.

Almost a year ago I made a post saying my 2013 goal was to get a Pep 22. And thanks to Roy, that actually happened!! So, 2913 was a good year,

 

I knew it. BL is a time traveler.

Best gig you can get.

 

Pop back 50 years and pick up copies of all the golden oldies and buy some stocks. Stop in present day and drop off your shipment at a convention. Skip forward 3 months and pick up your books. Skip forward another 50 years and sell 'em!

The micro fiber definitely is long overdue for a change and reslab.

I must have missed this thread last year. I could have sworn I posted in it…

 

My goal for the year was to complete my run of ASM down to 100. The big issues I was missing was a copy of 129 and 100. I picked up a copy of 129 a few months back from Columbia Comics.

 

I'm hoping my wife gets me a copy of 100 for my birthday or Christmas. I'm still missing a few singles, but they should be easy to pick up.

In all honesty I think I had a spectacular year for comic purchases for 2013:

 

1. Hulk #1 cgc 5.5

2. AF15 cgc 3.0

3. Mask #1 cgc 5.5

4. Mask #2 cgc 4.5

5. Venus 19 cgc 4.5

6. Planet Comics: 51 books of the run of 73. All of the books but 2 in 5.0 or better ( issue 29 is cgc 3.0, issue 33 is cgc 3.5 ). Several pedigree books in 8.5. It is a very nice collection of Planets. Some of the highlights:

7. completed my marvel value stamp collection. This included finding a marvel value stamp booklet that was unused. I wanted my collection to be uncut from the books.

8. Purchased a 38 long box collection that was mostly moderns from late 1980's to early 1990's. The collection also included some file copy gems.

 

among Other books. It was truly an awesome year.

I think my goals had changed significantly during 2013. From completing runs to buying hardcovers and sketches. I got a few sketches and a few hardcovers, but the goals I outlined last year were not met. As a matter of fact I bought my first back issue of the year today, not counting stuff a couple months old that I picked up at the LCS.

 

 

My goals for 2014 are to cut my pull list down to four titles (one monthly) and not buy any back issues or trades until Cyber Monday. I probably won't succeed entirely because I have one HC preordered and may pick up an issue here and there but for the most part I think I'm going to drop my annual spending from around $600-$700 to $200-$300

Believe it or not... you are going to have a harder time finding a high grade #2 when you start trying to run down sweet higher grade copies of this run

 

There's my goal... a nicer copy of my Gold Key Scooby # 2... oh and world domination of the X-Men #94 market

How did you come up with the money to buy a Pep 22 in 2913?

 

A) In 2913 Pep 22 will be worthless

B) It will be worth a LOT
