MutantKeys Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well, KC and mr_highgrade kind of raised the bar. I'm reposting the 98 because the scanned image was awful. Okay, you're probably saying "She bought ANOTHER #50, and in 9.6!?! Is she nuts!" What can I say? When I bought the 9.2, I wasn't thinking that I was actually going to win the Comiclink focused auction. But here it is Another favorite cover and with White pages!

rob_allan Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Actually, I just started (unintentionally) and X-Men SA collection thanks to Pirate. So I think my New Year's resolution is going to be to work from that issue back to number 1. (which will take more than 1 year.) I'd like to slab each book as well.

worldsbestcomics Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 New Years Resolutions: What are your resolutions for the coming year? 1) Finish my X-Men 144-201 run in 9.8+ - I just need three books (149, 182 & 198) 2) Be the first to complete a 9.8 run of Wolverine 1-189. This will be challenging since many issues currently have ZERO copies in 9.8. 3) Find 6-12 issues in my X-Men 94-143 run. 4) Possibly finish my X-Men 202-250 run in 9.8. Or at least make some pretty good progress so I can finish it in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least make some pretty good progress so I can finish it in 2008. X-.men wise, resolution looks like: complete my raw X-men 1-66 run (missing 2-6, 8 11,12,13, 61-65) Complete my 94-143 run.. . (or advance ALOT and finish in 2008 ) buy slabbed 9.4 steranko covers 49-51 maybe i have a newfound GA love that will interfere with the above ... what to do what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_allan Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Man I'm excited. I'm hoping X-Men 15 is still under the glass at the LCS on Wednesday. Yes, this post is out-of-the-blue. But you know how it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very busy 1) Fill in half my holes in my 1-66 CGC run. 16 books - currently 34/66 - goal is 50/66 (+16) by end of 2007 - at least 2 in 9.4 or 9.6 (currently own 4 books in this run at 9.4-9.6) - at least half of new books in 9.0+ 2) Fill in 5-10 holes in my CGC 94-143 run. 3) Make the registry top 10 with either the 1-200 or 1-66 run.

phoenix215 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ok you wonderful people i need suggestions on what to send in for my first slabbing experience. Should i send in my #'s 8, 9, 10 (and possibly a #6) coming soon or should i just test the waters first and send in #'s starting from #100 and move backwards from there, since i have 2 #'s from the mile high 2 group (my understanding is that CGC doesn't recognise them as a pedigree). Any suggestions would be appreciated, before i start considering some of my GA titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MutantKeys Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 3) Make the registry top 10 with either the 1-200 or 1-66 run. My other goal is to at least become #2 in 2007 and then that will put me closer to being #1 from 201-300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My goal is to maybe concentrate harder on plugging the holes in my SA run of X-Men in 2007. I've been lacking in the last 2 - 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
