TheDanimal Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I love that number 10!!! I'm eyeing a similar raw copy at my LCS. Might be more like a 8.0 tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsey-migration Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks, yall - I had been eyeing various tens since I got back into the hobby last year. I'm really stoked about it! First time doing "price negotiations," so that was a bit of a learning experience. Edited January 20, 2010 by donsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDanimal Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) I was wondering something. I am trying to decide what I want out of my X-men run. What numbers in the run do people own or what are your goals? I can't decide whether I want the entire run, or just the silver age run?? I absolutely love the Clairmont era but really just want to finalize a stopping point so when I know exactly where it's going in the back of my mind. Any advice?

TheDanimal Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) I was thinking of doing 1-66 and stopping at the reprints. Then if I decide to move on to something else or keep going it will be easier. Edited January 24, 2010 by TheDanimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuckuss2003 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My x-men goal is the same. Fill in 1-66. And slowly acquire better graded copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDanimal Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wicked awesome books!!!! The books i've gotten so far are in the VF range or so though once I finish it would be cool to slowly upgrade as I see books I like. Those look like they're brand new!

I absolutely love the Clairmont era but really just want to finalize a stopping point so when I know exactly where it's going in the back of my mind. Any advice? I am going a bit broader and just lumping the original run and the reprints together as the run I'm going after now. I know I'll eventually want both and that 1/2 the time the books I pick up are due to what I feel is a favorable price presenting itself to me. The rest of the time are those books that I actively seek out. My eyes are constantly wandering, though, and I'm pretty bad at picking books up that are outside of 1-93, whether it be upgrades to later runs, pretty slabs, or whathaveyou. The one thing I am squarely focused on is the grade I'd like to stay within for each era, and I am aiming to pick up 1-3 SA books a month depending on what's going on in life. Definitely not in a rush - wouldn't be able to be in one even if I wanted. If you miss out on a book, there will most likely be another book out there that interest you, which is great. Or maddening. I can give myself temporary boundaries to play within, but in reality there is no stopping point.
