Having sold my collection in the early 80's, I am slowly and lightly getting back into collecting. This is a great thread as it was a question that I thought about posting to help get some direction on what to collect. My first 10 purchases are centered on books that I had as a kid that were purchased off of the old spinning racks or traded from friends, mostly 20 cent cover price issues, finished by two books that I always wanted but could not afford at the time.

 

1. Action 434

2. Superman 274

3. Superman 276

4. Flash 226

5. Justice League 118

6. Adventure Comics 431

7. Adventure Comics 440

8. Batman 227

9. Detective 395

10. Spiderman 121&122

 

Other "wants" are some other Neal Adams' DC issues and then I may be off to the Golden Age. The Esquire sell on early Batman issues on the Sell Forum really had me considering spending some serious money that I don't need to drop just yet. Batman 5 and Detective 33 are very high on my dream list.

 

Dang, it's easy to drop some dough in this hobby!

i think if my collection was destroyed, i would just leave the hobby. unless i got a nice, fat insurance check.
