2023

 

Love it!!!

[october]

Here are my top 5 for the year, all bought in the first half of 2023. 

Goals for 2024: buy nothing and hopefully start selling off pieces of my collection. Probably won't happen, but going to try.

As stated previously by @GreatCaesarsGhost, it’s been mostly a year maintaining.  Did end the year on a high note, both OA and comics. One show kindled my passion for animation and comic collecting with fond memories of trips to Camelot Comics with my father to buy the books off the stands.

Other OA

Not a lot of big purchases this year,  but I did get a personal grail I had been after for some time. 

I also added a few Baker non-romanace covers and a several Atlas readers.

Couple of acquisitions I'm happy I got this year. Goals - just chip away at my wan't list,  mainly Lou Fine and L.B. stuff.

Good job, Professor

For 2023 I feel like I mainly got silver, but here’s my golden purchases. But don’t own the MM 56 or US version of the Haunted Thrills 5 anymore.

Nice Silver Streak!

Those Atlas readers look familiar!

I bought a bunch of fun, inexpensive books this year, but nothing major. These were my four biggest purchases, and they were all under $1K each.

In 2024, I hope to pick up at least one personal grail. Otherwise, I'll probably stick to midgrade books with with covers that I like and nice pages.

Thanks Mr. C. Most of the books I'd like to add to my collection at this point have gotten really costly. So Slight to Moderate it must be for many of them. I'll still go for a Blue first but if a nice Purple comes around I'll take what I can get just to have a copy.

I'm in a similar spot. I won't necessarily stop buying but I need to make sure my resources are being directed more strategically.

Buying only takes a couple clicks but selling takes real time and work 😔💵

beautiful books by the way

I bought a bunch from you and a bunch from another boardie.

I'm a sucker for Everett's Atlas covers!

Yep. I think it will take years for me to sell my collection, if and when it happens. 

Thanks.

My 2023 pickups in thumbnail form. Love those bright colors, stylish illustrations, bold chonky logos. It's a very "me" mix. :-)

Every time I think of you, chonky is the first word that comes to mind.
