Hmm, he said neither "full run" nor "complete collection." He indicated a "complete run." Also your assumption of "#1 to #539" excludes the -1, or flashback, issue, the 1/2 issue (although I think that was technically Spider-Man and not Amazing Spider-Man), and the ashcan. Do those count? There are countless others and rest assured, %90 of my post is just teasing.

First of all, congrats on the ASM collection. Secondly, I do not believe you. I am only being a super-pessimist about your collection because I am a super-duper-pessimist about my ASM collection. Complete runs of ANY collection usually need to be qualified. For example, do you have all of the price variants? Do you have all of the cover variants? Do you have all of the first, second, third, etc. prints? These are just a few questions that need to be asked when confronted with such a claim as having a "complete" run. It applies even moreso when that claim involves my own collecting bailiwick and object of desire.

 

Lastly, again, congrats on the run.

That was spooky, the way you channeled Ian Levine in your post. A chill went through me. spooky.

He's a board member that has accumulated EVERY and I do mean EVERY DC

ever published. Even the ones that come out every month and their variants and giveaways.

 

This total amount of comics is absolutely mind boggling.

 

 

needless to say, I am envious.

I've seen it.

And surprisingly it only takes up 4 walls of shelving in his collections room.

 

Albeit those shelves are approx 20-25' long, and 8' high, and those puppies are packed in tight.

 

But it is a bit daunting... I was all flustered as to where to start looking. Ian knew where each issue was... but it was like aladin's cave... where to start juggle.gif
