*Bronze age fan* Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Congrats! That's some collection! Love the feeling of finishing a long term comic collecting goal.....Then I miss chasing the comics and revising want lists and the feeling you get of crossing another one off the list. It's kinda bitter sweet to finish a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Lantern Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Finished my DD #1 - #100 in 9.4 ow/w or better!! (technically #105) I also have Spidey #16, #18 and JIM #16 in 9.4 ow/w or better, giving me the first 10 appearances of DD in funny books. I think it might be a first here due to my ow/w or better with the 9.4s. (I know, I know, ow/w from just an ow or white page CGC'd book - could be just the difference of a good cup of coffee with a grader or how much lovin they got in the sack the night before:) In my eyes, ow/w books were/are a good median for my collecting. Obviously it is not like some of the greats here: Captain Tripps, Ghost Town, Minty-Mint & Metheun Man.....but I think a pretty cool feat nonetheless. http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=22678 There are two class act fellow DD aficionados I must thank for helping a brother out! - Much obliged to Minty Mint and most grateful to Methuen Man. Issue #62 was the last book I needed and here she is: I started in 2007, so it has been a pretty long time coming!! Congrats! Looks amazing.

Love the feeling of finishing a long term comic collecting goal.....Then I miss chasing the comics and revising want lists and the feeling you get of crossing another one off the list. It's kinda bitter sweet to finish a set. You are so right about the actual sense of crossing one off the list. Because I have an actual hard copy (pencil and paper) where I love putting a line right through the middle when a book arrives. Totally bittersweet! It is still fun cause I only have about 15 books or so left to complete #1 - #157 and they are easy to find ones wether raw or slabbed and a lot less money the a lot!! Thank-you so much man for the congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andahaion Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Congrats, icculus308win! That's some display of discipline for Daredevil! Alliteration worthy, apparently. Really though, that's quite an achievement. Right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methuen Man Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hey Eric, As you know I rarely ever post except to ask Gemma to add a new title or two to the CGC Registry, but I need to make an exception for you. You have been working on this set for many years and it is great to see you finally completing the very challenging goal of a full 1 - 100 9.4+ run of Daredevil with OWW or White pages.This is truly an outstanding accomplishment. Congratulations!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Awesome set, and a great accomplishment! I know I will feel similar when I finish my Showcase run, though it won't be near the grades of your set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations!!! I am so grateful and honestly humbled by your congratulatory post my good Sir. I think it was 8 years ago that I sent my first PM to you. Thinking back on my post, I remember a #1 -#100 was basically a pipe dream for me. You have always been so supportive and helpful in my DD collecting and knowledge. You know more than anyone, the endeavor of collecting a set pertaining to not only about a certain grade quality, but revolving around PQ. Thank-you so much for the support and helping me aquire some books in my grade and PQ requirements. Honestly, without your help - my personal DD goal would not have been accomplished yet. Thank-you so much. Best wishes Sir - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from the DD Brethren who already, is one of the "greats" in his knowledge of and history with DD......but will shortly be amongst the "greats" in his DD set collection! Rob you are so right my man, I would have lost a million dollar bet on what book I would think - would be the last piece of my #1 - #100 puzzle!!
