Back in the day, I ordered massive quantities (for me at the time) of some comics that did not pan out for a long time via my mail order comics service that needed 3 months lead time. (New Teen Titans #1 and #2 Baxter Paper, Man of Steel #1-6 Direct (Byrne), New Mutants #18, Camelot 3000, Thor #340 (I had to go around and pick up extra copies of #337-338 from local drugstores and shops), Crisis on Infinite Earths #1,  Alpha Flight #12 and #17. The list is too numerous to count. meh

For the X-Men, Miller Daredevils, and other popular comics at the time, I picked up only 2-3 copies of each issue usually. Maybe 5 copies of issues like X-Men #166. 

Much easier to order multiple copies when comics were only like 40 cents each after discount. (shrug)

This rings way, way too familiar to me  :D 
Especially NTT & MoS
