What are your comic collecting goals for 2016?

I would love to get a nice Doc 169 in 9.2 or higher. (7.5 best so far)

 

I would love to get a Silver Surfer 4 in 9.6 or higher (9.0 best so far)

 

Then I want to be struck by a book that I do not currently know exists, GA or SA, and then own it.

Dealers are going throw slabs at you then make you pay for them

Nah, that's not how I roll.

 

I don't mind paying, but trading and THEN buying is how I try and roll.

 

But dealers may feel free to throw slabs at me, no problem there.

First two:

 

Daredevil 1-157 in CGC 9.4 or better. I need two books (#1 and #86) and three upgrades (#7,#72, Annual #3)

 

Byrne Fantastic Four in CGC 9.6+ I've got the run complete, I just need an upgraded Annual 18.

 

Once those are done I'm going to spend a long time not focusing on any one title/genre/whatever. Which means I'll be diving into some of the below:

 

CGC 9.8 Daredevils from 158-300 or so

CGC 9.8 Michael Turner Witchblade

Sourcing and grading CGC 9.8 Wildstorm books (The Authority, Stormwatch, Sleeper, Planetary)

Superman 1-50 (mostly picking off ones at the lower end)

Silver age Marvel Pedigrees.

With recent trades my FOUR COLOR TRADING project now has me at 1020 different issues.

 

I might get a few more trades completed either in December or January.

 

My goal for 2016 will be to break 1100 issues out of the total of 1346( 1354 + 25 first series minus 33 missing issues)

Finishing Spawn 1-250 (all variants) in CGC 9.8 or better.

 

Only 17 issues left!

 

I would also like to grab signatures from Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Alex Ross, Philip Tan, Brian Holguin, Ashley Wood, and Szymon Kudranski.

 

I would be thrilled if only a few of these things happened. :wishluck:

I think I need to define what my focus is going to be. . . outside of the X-Men run.

 

I think I'd like to maybe finish 95-544. I'm close on that.

 

Then, one bigger book, either an earlier X-Men or something from the newly defined focus.

 

I think I need to keep the collection manageable.
