donsey-migration Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hey everyone - I enjoy seeing all of your great books. My focus recently moved toward attempting a #1-93 run; here are two books I received this week (I'm new to my scanner as well as to the boards, so I'm still trying to figure out the best settings for scanning): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etanick Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 welcome to the board, I have those 2 books in about the same condition also. I might want to adjust the brightness of your scanner downward so it isn't so "white" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1koko Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have been looking through the CL auction previews. There is a fantastic run of X-Men in the upcoming Feb Featured auction (not mine). X-Men were the books I grew up with and I always regretted selling my run (though nowhere near the grade of some of the books listed or here). Very tempted by a few. Just recently bought a reader set of issues (46 odd between 1 and 67) and I am enjoying re-reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, my wife is losing her job (she is a research chemist for Pfizer) and, with a kid on the way, our finances will be getting very tight, so I am selling my entire set to shore up our finances and put us in a better situation. I was not planning on selling my collection until I was much older but life had other ideas. It was a thrill putting it togther and is bittersweet to watch them go. It is a complete run from 1-514 with all of the annuals and three of the Giant-Size issues. ComicLink will also be selling my TOS 49 and ST 120 and others.

My brother is a chemist and he too had just got laid off at Sirtris Pharma. Three years earlier, he was laid off at Ariad Pharma, and 3 years before that, it was Pfizer. He is so down about the entire pharma field and he is about as brilliant as can be. He graduated from Yale with a PHD in chemistry at the age of 23 on full scholarship. He made ton of moneys from all the stocks all these companies gave him over the year but he felt used and abused...with little regards for his contribution.

I was just going to post asking who is the forum member selling their set. I thought it might be you. So are you going to stop collecting all together? Dam didn't I just sell you some X-men books. John PS...Very sorry about your wife losing her job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John PS...Very sorry about your wife losing her job. Hi John, Yes, it was a very sudden event for us. We knew it might happen but we were hopeful that it wouldn't. When the ax fell a couple weeks ago, it changed everything. It was not an easy decision but given the uncertainty the future now holds, I needed to put us in the best position I could. I will still be making my monthly trips to the LCS to pick up my reads, which aren't very many but I am putting my vintage collecting on hold. I don't know if I'll be able to recreate what I did but, as a fellow collector, you know it is in your blood. So I never say never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash105 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Crud, I hate to hear that. Good look with your sale. I hope it does well and I wish you and your wife the best. Money comes and goes but comics are in your blood for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
