Got this one coming to me in the mail this week. SOOOOOOO hard to find this issue! Its kinda weird but winning this issue felt better then buying the Amazing #3. lol. Even seeing it for the first time on Ebay...total shock and awe. LOL. If I would have lost it...people may have gotten hurt. The last few love type comics are by far at the top of my Want List...just because of the hard to find factor....just seeing one for sale would be a shock at this point.

I will follow this thread for sure! I get the same feeling when I am able to find the romance books I need.

Congrats on putting that collection together! I cant even imagine having to hunt down a copy of every freaking Marvel out there
I think i might have raw mid-grade copies of 1-2 of the books you still need somewhere in my sea of long boxes. I'll try to dig thru them this weekend and see if i can find them and shoot you a PM
btw, i got a couple sweet little statues i gotta show you including my all-time favorite, a badass Thanos statue

Whats up?
I have been collecting comics for over 25 years. I didnt set out to do this 25 years ago. Just always bought Marvel back issues. Which turned into where I am now with my collection....or some would call a horde..lol.

Its a great feeling seeing that book you have been searching for pop up! Then of course the feeling of not winning it or being high bidder...that puts your stomach in knots...lol.

Been good Bro. Thanks man. Nice to see you back in the hobby!

Cool man. About how long ago did you decide you'd make a real attempt to get all the Marvels, instead of just grabbing what caught your fancy?

I think in like the mid 2000s I saw that I needed a few hundred more Marvels for all of the 1970s Marvels out of over 4500 books that were released in that ten year time frame. So I started collecting towards that. During that time I would always also buy 1960s back issues...So when I finished the 70s I figured out what I needed for the 1960s and so on...Nice to be under 100 books left to buy.
