spookley Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am a completionist at heart and would love to finish the entire run of JLA in 9.4 or better (#1-261, plus BB 28-30) But that clearly is impossible (since I don't play the lottery) The recent realized prices of the early JLA's have surged and there is no looking back.... so I am considering just collecting my favorites (ie: BB28, JLA#1, 3, 6, 10) and then all of the JSA appearances (ie: #21, 22, 29, 30, 37, 38, 46, 47, 55, 56, 64, 65, 73, 74, 82, 83, 91, 92, 100, 101, 102, 107, 108, 113, 123, 124, 135, 136, 137, 147, 148, 159, 160, 171, 172, 183, 184, 185, 195, 196, 197, 207, 208, 209, 219, 220, 231, 232, and 244) what do you guys think?

john72tex Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 It depends on what is more important to you-9.4 condition or a complete run with some books at a lower grade. For me, I'm going with the later(sort of). I am not even planning on completing up to 261, probably up to 125 or 150. I just want affordable nice looking books. For example, I will probably upgrade B & B 28-30 and JLA 1-3 to 6.0-7.0 and be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if expense is an issue in collecting 9.4 and above, then falling back to "only" B&B 28, JLA 1, 3, 6, 10, 21, 22, 29 and 30 in 9.4 isn't going to help you much either. The cost of acquiring the rest of the entire JLA run in 9.4 is going to be less than the cost of acquiring just those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Uh, yeah...what Tim said. And even having the money available doesn't guarantee you can get the books. To wit-- a reprint of an earlier post: Besides, unless someone has a 9.4 raw set already, I don't see a slabbed 1-30 9.4 set ever coming to fruition. Ever. Unless the Kentucky owner decides to keep what he's got and make the attempt. Then he needs to come after my #6 ...and Tim's #4...and the two #5s...and one of the two #9s...Tim's #10 ...2 #16s...oops no #19 higher than 9.2 (so much for a 1-20 set in 9.4)! You're gonna need more than a crowbar to pry most -if not all- of these books away from their current owners (2 of the books on your list are up there, Johnny).

You are right, I will have to settle for 9.0 or 9.2 copies of the first 5, and probably 9.2 for the 22 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
