Hit the One Third Mark

[David Swan]

All my CGC collecting resources are being devoted to Captain Marvel Adventures and I've finally hit the one third mark on the way to 150 issues. I seriously doubt I will ever own all 150 issues but having 50 is a nice start. There are still enough comics available online to keep me busy for years to come.

 

I still lag over 10,000 registry points behind the leader but I'm literally eating into his lead. The comic that got me to the 50 issue threshold was from starman211's own collection so as my registry total went up, his went down. I've believed for a long time that the top set no longer exists but that's a journal for another day.

 

This is actually the third comic I've added since my last journal so things are proceeding along quite nicely. Based on my budget I hadn't planned on making another purchase until spring 2016 but I make exceptions for auction items. I don't love the staple placements of issue 147 but the page quality is nice and this is the second highest grade in existence.

That is a really nice looking book!

David,

One third is really impressive when you are talking about a 150 issue run. It's also more impressive since it's a Golden Age run. The farther back you go the harder it gets normally. The paper drives of World War did'nt help the early part of this title. I'm approaching 50% on my Boris Karloff series and finding high grade copies is getting harder and It's a Silver & Bronze Age run of only 97. So 33% is some serious collecting. Hope you do get them all someday.

Nice to see you're still at it! It's cool to see these old Shazam, I mean Captain Marvel, issues. Great looking book. I'm sure you will capture that number one spot at some point.

Best of luck in your quest!

 

The key is to stay focused and vigilant. I know how it feels to spend years collecting a run! I admire your dedication. Keep it up!
