Collecting full runs. 1 1

5% of the weekly comic collectors.

 

I think variants and renumbering has chased a lot of them off.

And I can't blame them.

I think most people would be surprised how many people would still like to have Amazing Spider-man 1-441. I know I have a runs problem or is it a problem ?

This.

 

This has put me off of worrying about new series runs. I mean, I still buy every issue of something like UXM but I don't care about the variants (though now that it's jumping BACK to the original numbering for 600, I'm going to be irritated & try to fill in the complete set.)

I collect full runs all the time, on way too many series. That is why I have too many comics,

My man Dave!

 

Here is the 20 year list 1-1960 to 12-1979 of every comic Marvel released. Quite a few full runs in there. Been looking for my Doctor Strange #169 to post it in the clubs thread....and I can't find it....so maybe I don't have every issue released. But I remeber buying it....think I filed it wrong. Talk about finding a needle in the hay stack.

I do too although for some reason I won't or can't stop buying DC's still, which I know minus winning a lottery I will never finish some of those runs

[Gatchaman]

I collect full runs of a lot of titles.

Yeah, it's a damn shame Marvel stopped publishing in 1979...

I collect full runs. If I collect/read the series , I try to get the full run JLA, CLASSICS, FOUR COLOR

the list goes on and on. Guess that is why I have over 20000 books I my main collection

[1950's war comics]

Its very gratifying to fill holes in complete runs

[NP_Gresham]

I collect full runs.

I just never seem to get there

 

Strange tales 1-100- not there yet

30 cent variants - not yet

35 cent variants - nope

ASM 1-700 - Not yet

 

Collecting is quite different than completing.

I neglected to mention my other "full run", which is every Windstorm Universe title published & all of the variants (including those still under the Image banner) and one-shots & everything. I am down to like 10 issues total to knock it out.
