My Top 16 acquisitions from 2010 - nice (idea and books) but does this mean you won't be buying any books this month? or that you'll just be buying the rest of the year?

Scrooge Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Oh, I'm buying books but nothing I've seen will crack the Top 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 So, as mentioned in the Have a Cigar thread, this is how you avoid scanning over a 1000 books. These are my Four Colors to date. That's 20 stacks of about 50 right there. I look at this and can only wonder how much the supplies alone set me back I did not see this when it was originally posted. Amazing. Careful your house doesn't sink into its foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 holy crud! thanks for sharing these with us! any chance of a closer look at that Jane "Oomph Girl"? and Hickory #3 I'll get those out (next time I open the crypt) and take some closer pics and interior shots. Somebody else was asking about Jane the Oomph Girl in private mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 This I posted in the General Forum. My Top 16 acquisitions from 2010 - Let's see -- the best Fight cover, the best Rangers cover, one of the best Wings covers. Good start there. Two of L.B. Cole's best, most colorful, and most hallucinatory covers. A couple of matching Bambi and Raggedy Ann covers. Nice GBA on the first one (good deer art). Excellent Wood/Orlando cover for Captain Science (probably the best cover of the run)... The one issue of Exciting Comics that I would kill a shark to obtain... Some superhero stuff I don't know much about, including Batman and Robin riding an eagle like Gandalf and Frodo... The best Buccanneers cover by Reed Crandall... A Baker romance with a face that is practically a template for every other woman he ever drew... The most notorious of all EC comics... Yeah, that's a pretty good Top 16 for the year.

AJD Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think it would be cool to own WDC&S 1-100. This will be a long-term project with a few diversions along the way, but here's where it stands today. Those of you who know the run will spot that I own precisely none of the hard or expensive books. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Yeah, coming from adamstrange I was expecting something low grade \ It could happen. Here are the others. Ouch!

skybolt Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I tried to pull my 40 favorites out of the groups above (the slabbed comics excluded), and this is what I came up with. (If I did it again I'd undoubtedly come up with a different 40.) Awesome collection........thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Scrooge 2006: Makes me want to get a digital camera just so I can take another group shot! Scrooge: you've got a pretty sweet setup in your basement. I like it but I have no cool books, i.e., no GGA, no Jungle, no cool Four Colors, no GA DCs, ... I guess I should say I don't have any thematic grouping, unless ... I could set up an Airboy display I guess Keep'em coming guys Scrooge 2010: after you took this pic did you dive in like a porpoise and burrow through the books? No, I didn't.
