Books that you don't want in your collection...

I'm kind of a key issue completist - but there are two books that I am so prejudiced against that I won't put them into my collection.

 

I think IMSM #1 is a lame book, compounded by the negative conditioning I have been exposed to here on the boards regarding it ensures I will never want to have one in my collection

You can hate the book, you can hate Cal, or you can have fun with it, like it I did and make a joke out of the whole thing. A couple of years ago there was an auction for cancer research wherein forum members did sketch covers and put them up for grabs. Now, I can't draw worth a lick, but I know someone who can, so I asked him to do an IMSM parody.

 

You have no idea how hard it is to explain what 'Calbot' is to someone who doesn't frequent the boards.

 

At any rate, he got it done, and I wish I'd won that auction, because not only was it for a good cause, but also because I love to tease Cal. Hell, he's in my sig.

Just for giggles, here's some old 'Calbot' stuff from my PB account that will make absolutely no sense out of context. :D

Mine are easy:

 

1. Those stupid "Bad girl" Zenescope comics. Hell guys at least buy a video or a playboy. Those books are such trash and yes I think is it very pathetic to buy them.

 

2. Every single Marvel Price Variant......same cover , but .5c more. :whatev:

 

3. 1st appearance comic books that do not have the historic character on the cover which unfortunately makes me not want to own the book ever. ST #110 comes to mind fist, but for some reason I give a pass to IM 55 (that is a :facepalm: on myself)

 

4. Finally, bad #1 covers such as GL 1, JLA 1, but I don/t mind ASM #1 as many people do.

Really? I think those are pretty cool in terms of their scarcity. I have no illusions about trying to find the whole set, but I have a lot of the ones of titles I like.

For #1, I could respect it more if it was actual porn. Who wants a tease.

Oz is a perfect example.

Walking Dead #1...had a CGC 9.8 black label last year and got rid of it in less than a week since I believed the bubble was going to bust at any minute.

 

 

good job buying silver age books, but you took an L here.
