Reaching 200

Is it just a number?

It's been a while but I currently have 200 slabs on the registry. I do have a few more, I guess some odds and ends, books that would not be worthy of putting on the registry. It's not so much the grade or the points but they were my own personal copies I got graded and do not plan on following up with others. Passive the books I have on the registry are currently in either one of my New Mutants sets. At least 10 of those are duplicates that I eventually plan on selling, but not below the price I think they are worth not to mention less than what I paid for.

With Wizard World Philadelphia 2011 fast approaching I need to at least save a little bit of money. Although I will not be there for the full weekend this year due to my APA obligations, I will however be there on the first day to drop off some books for the signature series. I am also (crossing my fingers) hoping that this year I will be going for free. This "free" ticket is something that not only will I be working for but something I am going to have to really work hard for. I will be one of the writers for Comicbooked.com covering the event. I hope to introduce others to the joys of collecting CGC comic books.

I hope to interview at least two people but I also hope to talk to dealers and find out what the ratio is between selling books from CGC and PGX. I don't look for books from PGX so maybe that is why I only see books from CGC. In my collection I am very biased on what I like, when I write I try to be as unbiased as possible. I have in the past questions my graded comic books right here on the registry, my latest one being a copy of New Mutants #81. I have no idea with as many spine stresses there are how that book ever achieved a 9.8. Anything and everything I report for Comicbooked.com I also plan on writing for the registry.

I know I plan on having 300 books by the end of the year. This goal seems to be more and more distant. Money is getting tighter. I hope that soon the changes coming change I plan to make and if I'm lucky this will help my goal 300 books by the end of the year not only achievable the plausible. After that goal 300 I have my next goal which there is a possibility that could be reached during my stretch for the next hundred books but I will not reveal that now not until I finish my current goal. I just don't know if the current goal will be reached by hitting 300 books first or completing my New Mutants set.

1. Finish my New Mutants set

2. Have all my original New Mutants copies I have graded

3. Start my Sandman run to be graded

4. Reach 300 graded comic books for the registry

5.

I left 5 blank on purpose.

Thanks for Reading
