Can we also review the boards 2019?  Like the saga of Bitcoin Swampy?  Missing books n stuff?

bitcoinswami brought a lot of laughs to the boards this year

My high point from 2019 is easy. Got to pick up Jim Steranko at Logan airport, spend a couple hours in the car with him, then helped him at his table the next day at my friend’s show in Concord, NH.

I will call it an okay year. It had the potential to be better but I made some rushed mistakes trying to sell some comics I bought and the end result left a bad taste. I wouldn’t say I lost out but I definitely didn’t gain what I was hoping. I consider it a learning experience moving forward as I continue to try to add to the collection.

I would say I read more which was good. Still didn’t acquire a couple books but I have been ever patient and will continue to be so. I feel the right deal will find me in time on a couple key ASM books.

The year before brought with it several big scores which I doubt can be topped soon but hey it’s a new decade and I am ever the optimist!

Are you buying stuff here on the boards? I don’t think I’ve seen you claim anything in the gold/silver/bronze threads

We can always count on you & Hollywood for some entertainment & laughs here! 

I should have put you correcting Holly on his grammar in my year in review!

Agreed

This thread is a year too early- Hindsight is 2020 

This was my best year, but almost too good. At least I got my "must have's" out of the way. I'm going to try to keep purchases down to 10-20% of what I did this year. Most will probably be Art and upgrades, with the undercopies being pretty much a guaranteed sale to my younger brother.

This year I finally got the last page of Action #1 original art-the cover.  Man I had to go to a lot of yard sales.

That's 12K? Man did you get ripped off.😳

Some of my goals were accomplished.  It was a great year for me.  I finally completed my Moon Knight 1st series in getting all 38 issues in 9.8 white.  That was a big win for me.  Also bought a few books that I've always wanted.
