Overall Comic Desires

My collection has to be complete. But what is complete? The New Mutants title has become stagnant since I need only one more. I finished my Magik and Longshot limited series and stopped with my Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars since they climbed in price. The Thing and Ka-Zar are both good backups, but I began to get something a bit more ragged.

I can't say when it started or which was my first, but it's those ripped up shredded well read graded .5's I love. I even went so far as to purchase a few raw to send in. I think I'd be disappointed if I got anything graded higher. My original Crazy! 3 graded a solid 1, a slight disappointment I might add. I truly wished for this comic that I had for as long as I could remember to be graded poor.

I won a graded .5 yesterday for a price that really couldn't be cheaper, but they could become expensive. A ToS of Iron Man's first appearance climbed out of my range at $970, a bargain if I ever saw one. The great thing about the .5's is that they are the only criteria. It doesn't matter how many I have of the same title, it's just not necessary to complete a run as it is to have the book, now only if I could get the story.

Thanks for reading
