Sometimes, it's the things from ones own youth that you want the most.

Doctor Strange and Sub-Mariner have always been favorites of mine, but they were always underdogs. Both had series in the late eighties, but never seemed to thrive. It was the age of the mutants. I like the Sub-Mariner because of issue 38, an origin issue. Imagine an origin issue 37 issues after the first ones instead of just starting over...anyway...

After reading it over and over with a few other random issues it became the catalyst for my future collecting attributes. I didn't get another issue of this series until many years later. And I decided to go after a 9.8 of issue 38, losing the first time. I would like to get another of the series eventually and complete the series, but what if I go after Doctor Strange?

There are so many series out there that are rather limited. These are series I always thought I could achieve a full set of. Marvel Team-Up, Marvel Two-in-One, and Doctor Strange. These are series that ran a gauntlet of artists. Some were vibrant while others showed a scene so majestic it couldn't be fit into the book itself.

Could I collect these? Could I collect them while collecting my current goals? And then there is my desire to send in some of my original collection. And most importantly can I continue all this while paying off a car? By the way, the car is so worth the consequence of not purchasing as many slabs.

Thanks for Reading
