Awesome to see everyone's pick-ups in 2022 -- LOVE the variety!

I've been trading and selling more since the prices rose, but have still managed some nice finds.  Here are my Top 3 for this year, including a fantastic Byrne/Layton DPS from the Champions.

Thanks!

Congratulations on some terrific pickups!! I especially love the Action cover, as the inking suggests to me a hint of the masters of comic strips, Alex Raymond and Burne Hogarth: Raymond the fur (is that Grodd?) and Hogarth the fauna. It’s an extremely well-executed piece!

Here are my top 3 pickups of 2022.  It was tough deciding with 6 books I purchased this year, but these are my choices

I'm not buying comics that much these days, but commissions are still fun.

Apparently I guess I'm into Golden Age books now?   The transition happened so gradually I didn't even notice.

These 3 completed my 1-40 run.

Personally 2022 was a bad year for me, so my purchases reflect that. I bought a lot of books (3 long boxes) very few of which were modern. For the first time I started a purchase log to keep track of my careless spending (just ask my wife) and it's worked out well. Curiously enough it was the best year for submitting books to CGC.
