would it not be better to have quality over quantity? I feel it would be a wiser investment

a TOS 8.5 CGC graded on average is 75 dollars. You might want to look into GPS before purchasing raw books. I mean no disrespect but showing something you might not be aware of

No disrespect taken. I am aware of GPS but it does not really suit my purposes. If I feel I'm out of my budget within each series budget for a book I won't buy. I'm not sure which # book you're referring to at 8.5 but the TOS 58 at mycomic shop in 3.0 is listed at $94 + shipping & fees, comiclink has a 3.5 on the exchange that just sold for $66 + shipping & fees and one 4.5 in auction that is currently sitting at a bid of $51 with 10 days remaining. Ebay has TOS 58 for around $100 + shipping for a 4.5. All CGC. I do feel that the TOS 58 I bought was a little over priced but in relation to Overstreet price, Online/Ebay it's not too high and it was still within budget. Plus sitting down and reading it, smelling it etc. was a great experience. It's probably best to think of this Journal as a midlife crisis and instead of a fancy impractical sports car, I'm buying comics instead. Cheers. 

understood...you do

have great taste in books...Keep it up.  I loved the Flash ones earlier.

Excellent mid-life sports car analogy ........

and that #54 presents real well !
