speedcake Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Let er rip! Forget the mistakes, misses, or even the glories of 2018. That's done. It's OVER! What are your collecting goals for the new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 For me I want to complete my Lucio Parrillo runs on Warlord of Mars, Vampirella, and Queen Sonja. Finish the Bronze age portion of my Uncanny X-Men, including getting #94 in as high a grade as I can budget for. After that, I'll just wok on the silver age portion of my X-men run as opportunities pop up. Maybe this year I can stay a little more focused on the X-Men...sure...yeah...that will definitely happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Images Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My Goals for 2019. Hopefully add a couple CGC #1's to my 80's child focus. Maybe start a Batman first cover appearance CGC run with Tec 233 and Batman 121. Finally and more to my Vintage Star Wars Vader and multipack focuses. Not sure if I will accomplish any of it but good to have goals. speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakman29 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My 2019 goals are to finish my Warren Eerie run. Try to find a high grade Vampirella #3, Blazing Combat #1 in 7.0 + That should be enough for me, goals are meant to be attainable. speedcake, comicjack and badback83 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahnadah Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My goal is to sell all my tpbs, art and sketch covers. I doubt I will, as I've tried and had no offers, even at less than 20% of what I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedforceKJ Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My goals are to fill in the teen/twentys gaps in my silver age flash run. speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I will probably finish getting back the GI Joe figures I sold off years ago. I will probably upgrade at least one issue from my ASM run. Would like another page of GI Joe Marvel Art Would like a dynamic Spider-man page from one of my favored Spider-man artists. Maybe I finally pull the trigger on Superman 14. Maybe I finally pull the trigger on that UCS $800 Lego falcon... speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosemite Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hope to trim down the collection a bit and adjust the collection focus, always a tough endeavor More on quality, less on quantity. Still also looking to add a King Comics no. 1, has been a goal for 3 years ... so far speedcake and Bomber-Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldCap Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Buzzetta said: Maybe I finally pull the trigger on Superman 14. Sweet, sweet book. I want one too but they're pricey! I always end up going for books that have far fewer on the census, thinking that Supes 14 is common enough that I can find one anytime I want. That may be true, but I may not be able to afford any but the lowest grades if I continue to wait. Needless to say, the highest graded 9.4 at auction right now is a BEAUTY! Anyway, my 1st goal this year is to land a Captain America Comics #72 as that would give me a complete run from issues #66-#78 2nd goal is to buy fewer $500 books and save up for one 3k+ book. 3rd goal is to read a ton of material I have sitting around that I've haven't gotten to yet. speedcake and badback83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
