Jeff, I was fortunate to pick up the Rockford copy a few years ago so I didn't have to rely on serendipity to complete the run.

Well, it's exciting for me anyway.

 

Back in ancient days when I collected silver, bronze, copper and moderns, it was the airbrush work of Alex Schomburg that first attracted me to the Golden Age. Xela's work on Exciting, Startling and Thrilling struck me as the most incredible comic book art I had ever seen. It was that attraction that led me to purchase my first Golden Age book, a 4.0 copy of Startling Comics 47, in December 2007. It's no secret that my taste for the Golden Age has done nothing but grow in the intervening six years. I got into Fiction House and completed my runs of Jungle, Jumbo, Wings, Firehair, Monster and Longbow, and I'm only a few books away from completing Fight, Rangers, Planet, and Ka'anga. But as much time and energy as I've put into my Fiction House titles, it doesn't compare to what I've put into my three favorite Nedors: Exciting, Startling and Thrilling.

 

After scouring the Internet, questioning dealers, reviewing past sales, contacting random people, and, most of all, harassing boardies, I've accomplished what, to me, is my biggest accomplishment. With one box from Comiclink on Thursday containing the Mile High copy of Exciting 25 (one of only three graded copies) and another box on Friday containing a beautiful copy of Exciting 33, I've completed my run of Exciting copies!

 

Of the 69 issues, I have 23 of Edgar's books, 3 Big Apples, 1 Ohio, 1 Okajima, and 1 Crippen. So, following in Ivan's footsteps, I'm going to count down my complete run. This is EXCITING! (For me anyway!)

I find 69 Exciting. hm

I am excited by 69 hm

 

These are great comics! :headbang:
