I will definitely be selling it here on the boards. Hopefully, I can find someone who has one that is willing to accept time payments.

I know the feeling. 

*looks at silly 2021 price on ASM 3

Sell 100K worth of stuff and buy about 25K of a very select few books, if they are reasonable. This year, I doubt I won 3% of the stuff I bid on.  In the past, if I didn't get my A list stuff, I'd spend some on Plan B or C. Hopefully there is no Plan B this year.

[Fisionbomb]

Scud: The Disposable Assassin #1, CGC graded 9.8

Since no one will sell me theirs (at a fair price) I've had several of my PC copies in CCS/CGC limbo for around 10,000 days. They were borderline 9.6/9.8 so we'll see how in turns out in another 10,000 days.

[D84]

One book only.

Detective Comics 73

[ConcreteMob181]

1 - FF #52 in a 7.5 to 8.0 (white pages)

2 - Read 600 comics (which would nearly catch me up on my current backlog)

3 - Finish my 2021 cull (about 70% done).

[MattrixAlien]

Most peoples goals are to buy less it seems, but mine is actually to spend a little more  but still modest aspirations compared to a lot of boardie's usual investments 

ASM #298 to complete my run of McFarlane Spidey keys

Batman 357 or 366 etc to add a nice Don Newton pencilled Batman key to my PC

Swamp Thing 37 to complete my run of Alan Moore swamp thing keys. Probably too much to get approval from the missus. In a similar vein New Mutants #98 

This is a cheap one. It's just a matter of finding it on the hunt as I don't want to pay postage for it. Justice League America #33 (1989) to complete my Adam Hughes' Justice League run. 

There's also a couple of Alan Davis Excalibur's in the 40s I'm missing. 

The Miller Wolverine & the Zeck Punisher minis would be cool too. That's enough for now

Getting back into collecting a couple of years back I realized the reason I stopped buying certain titles as a kid was due to an artist I liked leaving, rather than laziness. For a while I considered being a numeric completion-ist collector. Getting every issue from 1-50 for example. But when I actually picked up a couple of the gap issues and read them, even decades later, I still couldn't handle paying good money for bland, unappealing, hack artwork. In that regard at least I haven't changed over the decades 

Anyway Merry Xmas everybody and I hope Santa brings you all the books you want

I see I had no aspirations from last year, according to the posted time capsule thread in the first post.

Seeing I think I did ok this year, pretty much the same then next year.

In reality I might dial it back a little and save some actual cash, for the future, not sure.

[Namtak]

Win big at lottery and get action comics 1!i can dream can i!?

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I plan to buy 1 book this year. It is not a Tec, and it's one of my top 10 favorite villains.

[comicginger1789]

Just keep buying, just keep buying, just keep buying buying buying (and sell a lil bit along the way

[Yale Stewart]

ASM 1 (1.5-2.0), before I get permanently priced out of it. Hopefully I'm not too late. Maybe a few more ASMs if I can swing it, since I'm down to 17 issues remaining for a complete run.

Maybe a ANMNPO #1 at 9.8.

[oakman29]

I really only have one goal.

To get anything that has been signed by Frank Frazetta. 🤞

[Qalyar]

Im planning a fairly low spend year, but we'll see how it goes. Some things I'd like to pick up assuming they present themselves:

• The two Labyrinth: Coronation #1 convention variants that I still haven't found.
• A copy of the Diablo: Tales of Sanctuary promotional variant that doesn't look like it was dragged behind a speeding car.
• A copy of Charles Burns's Drawn from Memory.
• If the comics genie is granting wishes, a copy of Burns's SSSSSSSS remains one of my all-time grail books.

Depending on what else happens, and how much my wife and I blow on some international travel this summer (COVID willing), I might putting together a couple more conventionally desirable sets, too. We'll see.

Buy more of the few books that I am speculating on/hoarding.  Buy good deals that I find on books that I think are cool.

Sell enough books to cover those purchases.

I'm surprised to see you being so decisive.

Continue no longer actively collecting, as I began this past summer
