We're now in the part of the runs where I can say I have a copy of every book, and almost all in 7.0/8.0. I only need 11 JIMs (#5-10,12,13,22,39,48) and 14 STs (#11,16,18,21,22,25,27-30,39,49,50,52), plus Yellow Claw #2, to be able to say I have no holes in my pre-hero collection!

THAT is incredible!!! I can't even imagine how long it must've taken you to get to where you are with those runs! PLUS the fact that you're collecting NICE copies, not "whatever you can find" copies! You're getting 7.0-8.0 which have to be legitimately tough to even FIND, much less afford!!! It'd be cool to see them in a group shot, if you've got anywhere big enough to fit them all!!! bc, Sweet Lou 14 and Mucheee1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I will try to make that happen! I've been collecting comics since ... 1984 (kid picking up Secret Wars for the first time and collecting a handful of titles, whatever I could afford) 1990 (college kid buying every new Marvel superhero book and working my way backwards through the back-issue bins) 1998 (20-something with a real job and enough money to start buying Silver Age books) 2017 (complete reboot of my collection, had everything pre-1975 graded and started the upgrade quest) December 28, 2017 (my first pre-hero book, pictured below!) bc, mysterio, DR.X and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very well documented journey you've been on! I wish I had kept such detailed accounts of mine. I know a lot but not quite as specific.
