I get CGC policy on signatures but if it's orchestrated by the company I don't get why they give it a green label

I believe it's because they didn't actually witness the signing...

X-men 95 9.6 to finally finish off the mini 8 book run of GSXM to x-men100 in 9.8/9.6. Its been put off for the last year. It started with #96 back in 2014.

Really my goal has nothing to do with the movie. I've finally turned my attention to ASM 100-120 and I see 101 and 102 (and of course 106) as the biggest challenges

Are you looking for certified copies of the these besides 101 102? What grade range? Yeah you'd be hard pressed to find a certified 106 in high grade.

Yeah, I'd really like certified 9.8's across the board, and ideally with white pages. That may be a complete pipe dream, but I managed to do it with ASM 121 through 129 over the last few years, so that has emboldened me. I'm already seeing a big difference though; in the 120's there were always lots of nice books that met my criteria and I just couldn't afford them, while in the run from 100 to 120, I can better afford them, but they aren't there.

I actually saw an ASM 106 9.8 a couple of years ago with a lower page quality and passed. I wasn't focused on it at the time so I didn't think too much about it. I think about it now.

That is correct.

Then stop buying guitars 

Don’t worry I have a similar issue by purchasing busts now, I successfully avoided that for years

Don't blame you! I would love a Sunday but the wife just doesn't see monetary value in b&w art. Fortunately, she did let me buy a Carl Barks painting so I drool on that.  

I hope you framed it and put museum quality class over it before you drooled on it.

I only have 1 goal for 2021: Purchase the 16 PCH books I had my eyes on all of 2020.

[SuperBird]

My goal is to sell the last 2 shortboxes of raws I own, read a bunch of collected editions, and get a few pages of OA. 

[KirbyJack]

A key EC horror book. 

[rfhbv100]

Well, this year I plan to start making good money, so my desires will be great. I plan to add ASM 129 2.0-3.5, Avengers 1 0.5-1.5, Incredible Hulk 181 1.0-2.0 (or qualified 3.0-5.0) to my collection, and also want to get back ASM 300, at least a low grade. Or instead of all this I will take ASM 1 0.5-1.5, which I have long dreamed of

[Hamlet]

I want to dig through dollar boxes again.

[D84]

1. An issue of Detective Comics between 70-79, so I can finish my one from each group of 10 from 32 up.
2. Finish my silver age Spectre collection in 8.5 or better.

[felixthecat]

I want to finally complete my high grade CGC Freak Brothers set. I have been looking for the last 2 books I need for years.

[piper]

I think that it's awesome that everyone has so quickly identified new collecting goals.  I'm at the stage where I need some quiet time over the Christmas break to reassess where I'm at currently.  The quiet time should be easy since we are in lockdown for the next four weeks!

I've got a few bigger books that I'm in the process of completing final payment on.  

One goal for sure that I have is to do some more GA selling through one of the auction houses and put those proceeds towards an Marvel key.  But which key?

Came framed with museum quality glass so it is safe from my drool and my fingerprints.

Per usual, I have no goals. My collection has no focus. I just like to take things as they come. Buying stuff online kinda took the thrill of the hunt away from me, so a couple of years ago I just dedicated myself to finding what I could locally, at shops, shows, etc. And its been a lot of fun. So, I guess I'll continue down that road. I just pick up cool stuff I like as I find it.

The one book I may make an exception for is a low grade X-Men 1, if I can find one at a not-stupid price. I sold my 2.5 two or three years ago, which was a bonehead move. Would like to replace it, but will likely have to pay 2 or 3x what I did for the last one. I'm probably going to have to resort to the internets to make that happen.

Otherwise, we'll see what happens!

I'm horrified about the pricing on XM1's right now.  I may have to sell a kidney to get an entry level copy.
