Do you keep a want list...

[seank]

When I was 20 years younger, I could keep my want list in my head. Now I use a small spiral notebook that mostly goes with me to conventions and LSC 50% off sales. Otherwise, I don't tend to buy back issues from random comic shops unless it's something I KNOW I'm looking for. (Like Shadow of the Bat 79 and 80 right now. Last two issues to complete the run.)

...in your wallet? Just in case you happen to pass by a CS, will you know what you need???

 

Why bother? . . . I want them ALL

I made one on Excel and use it at shows. It's always by the computer so I'm SOL if I come across a comic store. (Of course, most in SE Michigan aren't very good or have what I look for. - Bronze and Silver Age in VF or better. Plenty of Modern stuff. )

I used to carry complete lists of the Mad Magazines I needed in my wallet when I was putting that run together as a kid.

 

Now I have 6 sheets from a desk pad stapled together (one title per sheet) with each number from the 6 titles I am currently pursuing sitting next to my keyboard on my computer desk. I also have print outs from the CGC census, of books I want, put into a three ring binder.

 

I buy everything online right now, so no need to carry around a want list anymore.
