Lol if all 11 are pedigree, that would be cool, I hear a lot of people say the current pedigree label really "pops!"

I'm not a fan of how the Pedigree label looks so I was trying to ask CGC if I could just pay for a custom label with the Pedigree noted (they said no), then I asked if I resubmit for a new holder if they could re-serialize the numbers so they would be XXX001-XXX011 (they said no again). So I am not sure which direction I will I go, lol.

Damn.  I was going to say it would be cool to have the run in Ped labels with sequential numbering

The same goal I had for 2022. Get myself an All-American #16. But if I can’t get that, then I’ll just settle on getting myself an All Star Comics #8.

A low-grade Hulk 181 within budget, a few more pieces of original art and have fun selling stuff to help pay for 'em.

Oh yeah - always sell more than I did the year before!

[fast eddie]

Let's see,,,,, I'm going to grab an FF#4 and an Avengers #4,,,,,,, I hope.

[paperheart]

Read 500 comics (after taking an entire year off)

Donate 500 comics (vs 300 this year)

Sell>Buy 1000 comics  (vs 950 this year)

I just don’t know

I’d like to get rid of everything except like two short boxes and start over. Then be way more picky about what I actually put my cash into. 

[universal soldier]

1) Finish my ASM run of 1 - today including Annuals/KS/GS. Down to three issues (carry over from 2022).

2) Complete the following runs:

FF 40 - 300 (Need 39)

Incredible Hulk 102 - 250 (Need 24)

3) Make headway into Iron Man, DareDevil and JIM/Thor. Runs in varying states.

4) Sell some books! Really need to have a sales thread in 2023. Likely start with my ASM dupes. 

[jas1vans]

Adjust my 2022 goals to just organization; what to sell/trade now, keep for now, keep forever.

Stick to a list of what I am looking for, while allowing a little stray spending.

Learn more about the market for certain books on my list.

Trade for a book on the PC list.

Buy from the boards.

Break my spending record for a single book ($110).

[SeniorSurfer]

Sell some higher-end books though difficult to get good prices in the current environment, and get the last two higher-end SA grails (JIM 83 and ASM 1) that have eluded me so far, though also difficult to get good prices in the current environment.  Paradox?

[Gary Strange]

Pay off PayPal credit for all the books I bought in 2022. 

[Wall-Crawler]

Continue to sell and save for an AF #15, ASM #1 and complete my ASM run to present. 

I was pretty disciplined in 2022 so the I'm getting closer to that AF #15, it will be low grade of course, but it's within realm of possibility now.

MAYBE get a lesser key or a few ASM run books I need to scratch the collecting itch but not put too big a dent in the warchest.

[PKJ]

2023 may prove to be tough in landing books for me. Have a move out of state coming with a new role so spare time will be at a premium I am afraid. 2022 was the first year in several that I did not hit a single show so hoping to get back to Baltimore and Charlotte at least this year.

Besides my usual of getting anything I find interesting out in the wild, I can think of a few things I will try to accomplish.....

Getting a nice graded X-men 129

Adding another L.B. Cole 

Picking up a few more PCH

Now seems a good time for X-men 129, seems down compared to what I paid only months ago!

I know that

Read more, fart less. Better work on the diet.
