And as you can appreciate Oak, a few more of these. Vintage of course...

A sixties Rickenbacker,  and a 58-60 gold top Gibson is a holy grail for me. Those P90's on that gold top have a distinct sound and tone that is something every guitarist chases. Nothing finer.

Sadly I dont seem to have an extra 200K in my pocket.😪

I thought I'd go for something absolutely unattainable for me, and something I'd consider outside my normal focus.

The original art to these comic covers would be nice... 

 

Almost delusionally unrealistic.

I am a comic collector and reader and I have a modest OA collection (my comic collection is modest as well). My core comic collection are what I call the Fox GGA books. While I collect lots of publishers, genres and ages, over the last 30 -40 years I managed to put together complete runs of Phantom Lady, Jo-Jo, Rulah, Zoot, etc. That being said...

While not outside of those interests (comics and OA) my grail would be an Original Fox Comics GGA page (or gasp...a cover). I've never seen one. While once in awhile a Fox Crime, Romance or other OA page comes up (super rare as well), I have never seen a Phantom Lady (Fox), Rulah, or any of the other ones. I have been told they don't exist, but I struggle to believe that. If that impossible page turned out to be by Baker or Kamen...well, then I could just stop and smell the roses. What would it cost? Probably a lot. But a collector can dream...right?

I’ve wanted this book ever since I first saw it posted on these boards over a decade ago.  Just never actually went after one. 

And now, I’m priced out of a decent looking copy 

That’s a spectacular cover.

Countach= niiiiiiiice. I'm a Transformers fan so I'd have to have one in either red or yellow (Sideswipe or Sunstreaker) and you'd better bet it'd have the gaudy Autobot decal on the hood.

So which one are you hoping to add to your "collection?"

I had a Punch 12 that I got from Gator, then I foolishly sold it to finance a date. What a huge mistake that was!

A date? With a woman? I hope that date was with Jennifer Aniston…

[Larryw7]

I'd rather have the book than the girl(too much drama).

She was hot, but not that hot.

You like those Lamborghinis? I find them a bit boxie(is that a word)

[grendelbo]

I think I found one today in @greggy's new to my collection post.

So cool.

Ive always been attracted to the whimsy of the Inverted Jenny stamps.  A single stamp would suffice, but It I were ever serious about chasing one, Why not go for this block of four!  Whats funny now though, in 2022, is that our comics have caught up and probably have moe momentum going forward.

[Aman619]

heres the full history of the stamp, its owners and price history over the 103 years since it was released.  Warning:  just TRY not to state at the tooth!

Yes! Even without the power steering.  Love the retro style.
