Big Daddy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks Rick. Don't worry I don't have your kind of money. I have been trying to complete a reader set though. That will be finished way before my slabbed set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Here's a quandry I'm in and I'm sure others are or have been here also. Last year, I completed my JLA collection as I bought #2 and that was the last one I needed for the entire run. (Except B&B 28 and 30) There are still JLA's on my want list that I want in better shape. And when I look at Metropolis or go to a show, I'm still looking for these upgrades instead of solely focusing on other titles on my want list. I'm torn between focusing on titles like X-Men, like I did for JLA the past 7 years, or upgrading the JLA's. Now, this will probably logically answer myself (but sentiment get's in the way), I have no intention of selling my books. I have around 40 JLA duplicates now that I've upgraded but I still have no intention of trading or selling them. I do have the intention of giving them to my daughter or one of my nephew's if they ever have an interest in the hobby. (A great starter set that I would've loved as a kid. ) Anyone else find themselves in this situation? Sometimes I feel like I should move on to another title I like instead of getting another book that I already own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john72tex Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 I upgrade when the opportunity presents itself. You never know if you'll find a better copy at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I feel like I should move on to another title I like instead of getting another book that I already own. Shadow, I always feel like collecting another title after seeing some of the cool books in other threads...but I have so many JLA's that I still need so I make myself stay focused. Since you are pretty much finished and are looking just to upgrade, I agree with Tim that you could do a little of both. IMHO, I would probably aim for B&B 28 and 30 before going after more JLA upgrades or X-men books...Since the prices on the B&B's will continue to go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just focused my collecting on the JLA so much the past few years that it's almost habit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I would probably aim for B&B 28 and 30 before going after more JLA upgrades or X-men books...Since the prices on the B&B's will continue to go up I'm probably going to look pretty serious for a B&B #30 at this years Motor City Show. That book reminds me a lot of JLA #2 in that I tend not to find it in my price/grade range. I've wanted a VG to F grade but found them to be over-priced or over-graded. I might look more serious at a Fine grade this May because I'm bringing more money than normal for me. I'm afraid I passed up on a B&B #28 3.0 two years ago out of fear it was a PLOD. The price was only $300 but the booth was a mess and I felt something was wrong. I think I got overly-paranoid. On the other hand, I did get GL #76 & FF #28 instead. Both in nicer shape. Live and learn. I know I'll get the B&B #28 someday though probably only in Good 2.0. Who knows, maybe I'll hunt it down instead of the #30 this spring.
