I dont even know you, but thanks for doing that 

Really wish everyone would have this attitude. 

I love helping people find what they love to collect

He picked up a SA key he thought he’d never be able to get.  It really was a great time.

Yes! Those are sweet! Hard to believe in a post like that, that hulk 181 is still the highest paying player.

I guess heroes vs villains

 

Yeah.  The ASMs are a bit on the low grade side.  The 3 and 4 specifically.  The 6 is actually pretty solid.

Went to Motor City Comic Con over the weekend, Got some nice statues & figurines for the collection. These are the comics I picked up at the show.

I got to meet Dan Jurgens for the first time super nice guy I had him do a Superman bust sketch!!

Nicely done, I always waited for that GL #83 to get more steam. I had a copy yet it seemed underwhelming at first.

That is some serious ink...  

I think Cry for Dawn, once upon a time, was the 1st statue my brother ever bought for himself  the one where she goes after some kind of crown.

It's a series that doesn't get talked about all that often

Thanks!! I still love CFD I pick up that stuff when I can. GL #83 is just overlooked IMO. It's a Neal Adams cover that should be enough for people to want it.

Well.....

I bought something....

It's dangerous to go looking for an excuse to buy something

Especially when saying no is not on your mind haha.

It's got a few scuffs but

For the spooky nights ahead this month.

Saturday was an interesting day.  I’ll start with the low hanging fruit and go up from there. 
 

 

 

Wow, if I managed to get those books over the course of a year, i'd say it was a successful year... but in one day???

A good friend of mine wanted a book I had.  A book that I could’ve sold pretty easily for quite a chunk of cash.  But, instead, I decided to do trade for him instead of cash since cash is a bit tight for books, for him at the moment.

This week the last three months in your collection?

I haven't done this in a while.

A thank you to @gregreece for this one:

...and for this one:

From a local yokel comic shop sitting in a dumpy back issue bin. Huh? I've been looking for a high-gradish copy for a while:

These ones were bought from the amazing Doug Sulipa to help close out some runs:

 

Last issue acquired for the full run:

Started working on some copper titles a few years ago. Last issues acquired for the full run:

 

This is one tough mother of a book to find:

Nearly all issues acquired for the full run (missing #143 only):

  

More local yokel comic shop purchases:

  

   

  

And finally, I discovered in FF #94 that before FaceTime, there was Visi-Phone:

I've tracked my entire collection in a spreadsheet over the last 20 years. But only in the last 4 years or so I've kept a table on my phone that lists issues I need. It's a game-changer for me when I'm in places digging through boxes.

My post may have seemed over the top, but believe me, I've tried lists, that still ain't easy

So kudos sincerely to DEDICATION, I appreciate the fact that you said last 3 months, as long as those are the ones needed and found it's very cool

While I have control over my collection in a spreadsheet, physical control is another story.

I was able to pull books together during pandemic time off last year. And man I had tons of duplicates...

I feel you! I've been sending doubles to cgc, I'm as guilty as anyone.

Man, everyone is having a great day! I agree with this one, I too did the same. After I was bought a #194 as a gift, instead of upgrading it, I went all out on #195 for 9.8.

 

 

Hope I'm not intrusive being chatty

I have no excused other than it's great to see like minded individuals!

All good, nothing wrong with being chatty. Glad we think alike and see the potential of this book.
