    ASM Journey

    By NP_Gresham,

    Focus?
    Keep taking a twisting tortured road in my ASM quest. My goal would be 1-20 6.0 or better,21-149 9.0 or better, #150-600 in 9.8, with .30/.35 cent variants 6.0 or better.
    Often my wandering eye diverts me from the goal. I jump from GA C.A to Hulk to EC to pre-hero marvel/Atlas to price variants. Doesn't matter if raw or slabbed my wandering seems directionless.
    Ahhh the joy of comics!! I find sweet satisfaction no matter where I turn..... maybe I need some signature series books... Brave and Bold... no wait X-men 1-93.. or....
    Oh Crrap, why should I be a completionist, the quest is where the joy lies.

    Market oddity

    By NP_Gresham,

    Hulk #377 3rd print. Is it really tougher than ASM #292 2nd?
    I have been looking for the very elusive ASM #292 "so much fun" 2nd print in nm or better for some time. It always struck me as odd how Hulk #377 3rd print commands such a premium, while the ASM is relatively cheap.
    The census numbers are not even close. 45 copies of Hulk #377, including a whopping 16 in 9.4 or better. The ASM by comparison has not a single copy higher than a lone 9.0. The registry would seem to indicate ASM has more 'completionists' than Hulk. I guess the numbers just lie?

    If it makes sense someone already said it better than I can
    In addition to raw books I enjoy great quotations.
    Just for the heII of it i will mix the 2. There will be no connection between books and quotes except my enjoyment of them both. Some of these books are gone and some still reside in my collection. The first one I have had on 3 occasions and traded out of it. I really miss this book.
