Very cool. This is literally the first superhero comic I remember owning.

whiz 22 and silver surfer 1 are the only 2 books I have  personally collected multiple copies of... think I got to 50 whiz 22 and had 2 cgc boxes and diamond 200 ct box of SS 1's at one point (most all I've sold since hurricane 2018)

 

the reason, SS 1 was the first comic by dad bought me in 1972, so I used to buy every copy I saw for nostalgic reasons...and whiz 22 I bought every copy I saw for about 20 years for sentimental reasons

Based on my experience in the hobby, I have only observed oddballs having more than one copy of a book.  These people tend to have an obsessive personality and be in need of serious therapy.

For ones I have at least two of, a few of them anyway: Newsstand and direct!

Looks as though I started off the thread, so here are more "common" books

I got this 9.6 a few weeks back to go along with my 9.8. It's my first and only appearance in a comic book (published letter to the editor).

Spoiler

Although I do look a bit like the Will.

I picked these up at last weekend’s flea market. Here’s what 130+ copies of the The Iron Giant promo comic looks like. These came from a former movie theatre employee’s collection @cabinboy

You mean to tell me you once had probably some 600 copies of Silver Surfer 1?  The original one from 1968?  Good lord!

I have 10 copies of ASM365 that I bought with the intent to sell once Across the Spiderverse came out.  But I'm lazy, so they just sit on my shelf.  The only other book I have multiples of for re-sale purposes is FF48.  I'm still waiting for Silver Surfer to make his eventual debut in the MCU.

Every other book I have multiple copies of is for personal reasons.  I have multiples of Jim Lee's X-Men 1 because I like Lee, I like that cover, and they were cheap.  I have multiple copies of Ghost Rider 15 because I just love that gimmick cover.  Same reason why I have the 30th anniversary X-Men hologram cover books for Fatal Attractions.  I have several copies of ASM v2 36 because it's hard to see the 9/11 tribute issue and not pick up a copy.  I have multiples of ASM 298/299/300 because I put in simultaneous bids on lots that were going at the same time and turns out my max bids won on both.  The prices were good so I'm not mad.

I have some  miscellaneous others that are simply because I didn't have a great organized list of books I needed and on a few occasions bought books I already had.
