Did this degrade into a "Comics I want/Comics I have acquired" thread?

Because a lot of those comics don't feel like "Holy Grails". In fact a few, I think Comics To Astonish (one of my LCS) has on their display wall.

 

If there's a comic I want but don't have, it's most likely because I can't afford it. Not that I have to go on a soul reaping pilgrimage or scour several hundred comic book shows to find it.

 

Now that I think about it; I have been looking for another Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #1 variant cover (1/1000). It's been over a year since one popped-up on ebay. So, I sort of feel like King Pellinore trying to hunt to the questing beast. In fact - more copies of the "ultra rare" The Fury virgin cover (150 copies?) have come and gone on ebay in the past year. But I already have 5 copies off Wild Hunt 1B, so even this I don't really feel is a Holy Grail.

I literally just BINed a copy for $15 in a sales thread. If you want it, it's yours. Just let me know and I will tell the seller.

My grail WAS my Spiral Edition 30 Days of Night. I sold it a few years ago and am ok with it not being in my collection but I had to delete all pics of it because a part of me wants it back.

 

 

My current "Grail" I bought this error version off the newsstand at a local grocery store. I've turned down big $$$ for it but even it is not a GRAIL enough that I would not sell.

HOWEVER, what I would like back is the Batman:Harley Quin CGC 9.8 SS by Dini and Ross I sold 5-6 years ago on the boards. I just wish I knew who I sold to years ago.

:whee:

It's this sort of consideration and selflessness that makes me really love these boards. You're my superhero, October! :applause:

:gossip: now you can degrade the thread to the grail I got lol

 

:jokealert:

 

But really the book I talked about is most likely only a grail to me. When out of no where I got it.I was happy my search was over,so I posted a follow up.Thought it only added to the thread.

Two of my personal grails that have eluded me this far:

 

 

Devil's Rejects #nn cgc ss by Rob Zombie

Shaun of the Dead (any issue) cgc ss by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg

 

May be worth it to give Rich Henn a try. Rich is a SS machine for tough ones!

 

Yeah Rich is the man, and a good friend, I've just never asked him about these two for some reason lol

 

Thanks
