Are You a Character, All Round or Genre Collector ??

[JuliusSeizure]

All-Round here. I'm a completist and strive to finish runs in the best grades I can afford (tends to be around VG-F). Most of my comics are superheroes, but not all - GI Joe is a notable exception.

How long till you complete your set (every horror comic)? How many are there?

So you don't even have a guesstimate? 5000?

 

How many different horror title & issues do you have now?

[deathlok]

I'm an Astonishing Tales #25 collector.

I kinda lost count, but I think I was around 75. I know I do own 8 slabs though.

I really wish I could be that focused. There's just too many cool comics competing for my collecting dollars.

Yeah I suffer from the same problem. I have GA, SA, BA, CA, and modern books. I have horror, romance, humor, superhero, western, and war comics. I have low grade copies all the way up to 9.9 slabs. I colelct whole runs of titles and I colelct single issues.

Seriously, It depends on my mood. I have been heavily character-oriented in the past (X-Men & Dr. Strange to name a few) but have recently been buying runs by certain writers or artists rather than characters. Since I buy books to read rather than as an investment this usually give me more bang for my buck -- even great characters have had some pretty terrible runs. I also like to pick up funny/obscure/interesting books if the price is right.

Late 60's - 85 DC's. JLA right now, but I often dip out of the JLA books and pick up good deals or nice keys--cashflow permitting. Only 9.2's and higher.

 

So I guess all around DC.

[Comicdey]

All around....but leaning toward genre.

Late Silver and Bronze

 

horror/sci fi 95%, western 5%

 

dc and to a lesser extent marvels

 

Essentially a genre collector on a title by title basis (there are some horror titles I don't collect). Based on my budget that's too broad so lately I'm focussing on wraping up one or two specific titles that are low hanging fruit (5 or fewer issues to complete).

 

Once these have been completed I will then turn to be a collector by artist, and go back and collect those missing Neal Adams / Wrightson issues. I've also been paying special attention to Jim Aparo lately. Deep down inside I also want to collect war books because I love the stories and really love those Kubert covers. Too much I like so something's gotta give...

 

So, I like tons of stuff (I used to have 25% of ASM CGC'd) but I have to keep focus.
