Wow. I remember when you were still going for it before I stopped collecting and reading these boards. Crazy-awesome finish.

 

Also, I think Action #2 might be my favorite DC cover of all time.

[Dark Knight]

Anyone wanna take a stab on how much his collection is worth?

[Bronty]

what I love about that picture is that only a true completist would photograph his happy teeth comic beside his action 1

[comicnut]

I'd be interested on his thoughts and probably amendments to both the OPG and Gerbers as far as titles missing numbers and 11's go.

 

[Boozad]

Just one more waffer thin mint sir?

[the420kid]

really impressive. congrats!!!

[MR.COMICBOOK]

So I take it Action 1 or Detective 27 were the hardest to acquire?

congrats

[Silver Surfer]

I don't think so, Buzzy #70 was one of the final half dozen and Adventure #26 (was the last one) Ian needed.

Just one more waffer thin mint sir?

 

 

Great scene.

Ian and Arnold Blumberg used to go at it regarding "fixing" Overstreet:

Congrats on your Indiana Jones-type quest and wonder... what you thought of the recent stroy-arcs of R.I.P (from Batman related series), Death-Trap (from Vigilante, Teen Titans, Titans), Final Crisis and the newest... Blackest Night?

Wow! What a great read! I have been utterly mesmerized by this thread since I discovered it and read it from the beginning periodically here and there over the course of the last day or so. Completely Fantastic Reading! Message Boards should always be this great!

 

That being said, I can't help but wonder when the streak will end. It's almost like a Cal Ripken Iron Man type of achievement. The streak is still intact until the fateful moment of 1 of 2 events....

 

Will his collection stop with a personal decision that it's time to just let it end, or will it stop when he no longer is among the living? In any event, whenever that day comes (hopefully not for many decades to come), you feel it should be as newsworthy as any thing else that has ever been newsworthy in the history of comics.

 

To know your own satisfaction of finding a prized comic after months or years of what seemed like an endless search to you, one must surely find appreciation for the dedication this must of taken to accomplish one satisfying comic find at a time.
