I've never collected the DC humor books to the same extent that I collect those from Dell, Harvey, Gold Key and others, but I've thought about adding Funny Stuff and Peter Porkchops and a couple of others to my want list. I'm 13 issues away from a complete set of New Funnies and 9 issues away from a complete set of Looney Tunes. Funny Stuff would fit right in.

Buzzetta Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Did the AF15-ASM Current run... That was about it at this point. Would I like to own a TOS 39? Probably... but there are other things I want to put my money toward. Now I just go after GA books that interest me. Right now, I am monitoring EC Sci Fi and Crime and horror books... But even then... I just pick up something here and there. I don't want to keep moving the goalposts back.

Popular Post Spidey 62 Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) My "completed goal" is something completed and ongoing. I never thought I would own any ASM big (older) keys. I wasn't someone who spent "real" money on comics. I had bought 252 and 300 by sub list, but stopped buying when I got married at 23 and had a young family. I got 238 at a comic shop auction for $17, and I thought I had hit the lotto (Hobgoblin has always been my fav villain). Started buying a little more in the 90's but still no older stuff. Fast forward 20+ years after the kids were born and I started looking at comics as I had more disposable income. What was once inconceivable for me to spend hundreds of dollars on a comic became less, and I now have ASM 7,10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 25, 31, 50, all but #10 graded (many from these boards). I don't know how much I could spend on a comic, but I don't think my mind can get me to the point where I would have a #101, 129, or the silver heavy hitter 1st apps (1-9, 13, 14). I am working towards a 1-100 set, but I doubt I will complete it.

Popular Post comicdonna Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 I never really completed any goals. I used to have a HG Four Color and western collection. Around 800 books. After that, I spent a decade collecting only Action Comics. I had about 85 slabs from #1 through #100. I never had any of the 4 mega keys, with the exception of the 1st wrap of Action #1 All were 4,0 or better with the exception of #3 and #12. They were all sold in 2013, and the money was used for a house. I do still have this, though.

A guy that I use for commercial printing gave it to me because he knows I am a comic guy. Has nice spot gloss UV coating inside. A very expensive print job that he did for them. Said they only printed 1,000. He had two copies left. He kept one for his files and gave me the other one. No body seems to know about it.

Sold off Bat #1, Wonder Woman #1, Cap #1, More Fun #52, All Star #3 and #8 and a bunch of others to buy my first place. A cool little duplex. It was hard but I had a wife and a kid and it was the right thing to do. No regrets other than that More Fun #52... Looks like you got a beautiful piece of property for those books. comicdonna and Ken Aldred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I completed several goals over my collecting history. At one time I had the non Superman and Wonder Woman DC hero titles from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age, including complete runs of Aquaman, Atom, Batman [#100 up], Beware the Creeper, Brave And Bold [#1 up], Captain Action, Detective [#225 up], Flash [#101 up]. Forever People, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Justice League of America, Kamandi, Mister Miracle, Metal Men, Metamorpho, Mystery in Space [#53 up - the Adam Strange issues], New Gods, Phantom Stranger, Plastic Man, Ragman, Rip Hunter Time Master, Showcase [#1 up], Swamp Thing, Tarzan [#207 up], Teen Titans, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen [Kirby issues] and many World's Finest [since Batman was co featured] but not all. I also had all the Marvel Silver Age to Bronze Age hero titles, including Amazing Fantasy #15, Amazing Spider-Man, Amazing Adventures [1970 title], Astonishing Tales [1970 title #1 to #20], Avengers, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Captain Savage, Champions, Conan, Combat Kelly, Daredevil, Defenders, Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four, Fantasy Masterpieces, Incredible Hulk [#1 to #6 and #102 up], Iron Man, Iron Man & SubMariner, Journey Into Mystery [#83 up],Kazar, Man-Thing, Marvel Feature, Marvel Preview [magazine], Marvel Spotlight, Marvel Super-Heroes [one-shot], Marvel Super-Heroes [series #12 up], Marvel Tales, Marvel Team-Up, Nick Fury Agent of Shield, Not Brand Ecch, Rampaging Hulk [magazine], Savage Tales [magazine], Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, Silver Surfer, Strange Tales [#101 up], Tales of Suspense [#39 up], Tales to Astonish [#27 and #35 up], Thor, Warlock and X-Men [#1 to #66] and many issues of the pre-hero Marvel titles but not all. I do remember having copies of Tales To Astonish #13 which introduced Groot and Strange Tales #89 with Fin Fang Foom. Most of these were sold in 1989, with only a few titles retained by me. I also succeeded in completing my set of all the non Marvel, Atom Age and Silver Age comics with Steve Ditko art. The majority being Charlton titles.These I still have. oakman29, silverseeker, NP_Gresham and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely less expensive than rare comics like the Hyundai variant since it is not part of a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Rarity does not always equate to high value but to a completest of Walking Dead this is probably one of those books that few know about and would probably want pretty bad I would guess. I like rare and hard to find stuff. One of the reasons I am pretty much a GA collector. Anyone, with enough money can complete say a Spiderman collection pretty quickly until you get into the giveaways and regional stuff. Pretty cool that Hyndai teamed up with WD to produce something like this for only one application. I hope you land one!

Popular Post comicstock Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) All Golden Age Daredevils: Silver Streak #6-17 (all slabbed), Daredevil Comics #1-134 (first 3 dozen or so slabbed and many later issues) & Slugger #1 (slabbed) Traded for DD #74 back in 1968 at the age of twelve and a few years later started buying thru mail order (Passaic Book Center, Donald Puff and others...). When I got my drivers license, I traveled and picked up more from comic stores in the region. Mostly mid/later issues. Great times! Started going to NYC & Philly shows and accumulated early issues. All during pre-CGC days. Ebay and websites finally completed the collection. The final issue needed was a Silver Streak #16 CGC (6.0) which i veered into one evening on eBay. Book was listed for more than triple guide but i didn't bat an eyelash when I pulled the 'Buy It Now' trigger. Today, I upgrade whenever possible. The mid/later issues rarely become available in 8.0 or nicer, which is what i want. I still think these books are undervalued.

Popular Post Gatsby77 Posted May 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) 2011 - I set out to build a "Word's Best Silver Age" set on a beer budget. That knocked out most of the Marvel and mainstream DC titles. I went with Gold Key Magnus Robot Fighter. Fits because I started collecting Valiant with Unity in the early '90s. Took me six years but by last year I'd completed it: Magnus # 1 - 46 (1963 - 1977) in average CGC 9.6. 15 of them are 9.8s. Only book below 9.4 is # 37.
