I have nice copies of Batman #8, #9, and #11.  Guess I need to find a nice #10 in 2018.

Good luck on the 10, that was one of the harder copies for me to find with nice eye appeal.  So many of them have tanning on the side.  It was actually the last one I needed to finish the run.

In terms of Golden Age, I would like to pick up a couple of the following:

All Select 11

Famous Funnies 216

Superman 15

Action 36

Phantom Lady 17 or 23

I guarantee that I’ll be distracted by some other cool GGA cover...

I have struggled in choosing between Tec 168 or Cap 2 as my next pickup. The Joker is blazing hot right now and Caps 2-10 seem sorta cold right now. Maybe it’s time for a reversal.  I like that the Cap is a Hitler classic cover but I think Simon’s Captain America looks a little, well, dorky.

I’ve been a non DC guy, but maybe I’ll change that in 2018

GA: Nothing

SA: Hopefully a mid grade FF1 or a TOS 39 CGC 7.0 to CGC 8.0 (both would be even better)

ASM 1 in mid grade will likely be only for 2019 or 2020. But who knows if I can't find the proper FF1 of TOS39 and I find a really nice looking ASM 1 maybe that will be it for 2018 and the other two can wait till next year or the year after.

Geeze I'd take that over a lower grade universal label any day of the week.

 

My collecting goal is to grab more GA classic covers. Top of the hit list are Web of Evil 5, Voodoo 8, War Comics 11, Teenage Dope Slaves (Harvey Comics Library 1), CSS 20, and Blue Bolt 114.  I also wouldn't mind another copy of Ghostly Weird 122.

Get your mind out of the gutter and back into the four colour world of comics sir.

I’m not sure I should expect more though from a poster going by “woowoo”.

Is that a first or last name?

That sounds like some of the noise coming from posters on RicksNeatStuff sales threads of T&A and bondage books. hm

I resent the thought that I or my constituents add to any lewdness or lasciviousness in these hallowed halls. :devil:

Great Thread Peter Happy Holidays to you brother!!

Lets see how to answer this question. hm

Well for the past few years I have made a list a books that I REALLY want (top tier) then made a secondary list of stuff that I would make a run at if it came up as well. Thing is I try to keep a certain monetary value into my collection as to not exceed it too much so I usually sell something if I buy a few things and my collection has seemingly become full of almost all, "keeper" books for me and I have sold several things that I wish I hadn't but at the same time have no regrets as they were all in pursuit of buying something else at the time or I just couldn't say no to the ROI. 

All that being said everything I REALLY want seems to have exploded in value ever since I started collecting it. GA in general seems to have taken a nice spike in the upwards direction at least in regards to keys, perceived classic covers, and stuff on the rarer side of things (all things I chase after) 

This year I think I will take a good hard look at the Gerber guide again (I have looked at it MANY times) and try to pin down some stuff that I like but isn't quite so HOT but still cool (pun intended). Start exploring some other publishers until this current cycle cools off. I hear everyone say that it go in cycles and I will admit that I haven't been around long enough to see the ebbs and flows just this enormous climb in the stuff that I like but I do like to listen and gather information. This seems to be a sellers market if I am not mistaken. Just look at the selling forum for example. As soon as a GA book goes up for sale it is usually sold within a minute of being posted almost to the point that I don't really even look there anymore to buy stuff more just to see what stuff is selling for as I know I won't be fast enough to catch anything I really want as I can't sit here and hit refresh I just don't have the time at this stage in my life. 

A couple things I truly would like to add to my collection are a Larson book and a book from the collection of our very own JBerk. As a few of you know I stuck all my eggs into one basket (I kept it pretty quiet) when Berks books came up and ended up the underbidder so I would really enjoy adding a book of his to my collection this year. 

I am still having a Fantastic time and I am in this for the long play and fun of it all as it truly is my one of my highest joys. I just enjoy these old funny books so darn much. If I can't find anything I really want and is still underappreciated I am sure I will simply revert back to my old method for the year haha!! Either way I will have a great time participating, watching, learning, and talking to folks who share the same passion for this great hobby of ours!! 

As always Happy Holidays to everyone and Happy Hunting in the New year!!! See you out there, Gino

I actually took the time to look you up. hm

From wiki: -_-

 

A Woo Woo is an alcoholic beverage made of vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. It is typically served as a cocktail in a highball glass or can be served as a shot. It is also sometimes served in a rocks glass. The ingredients are usually shaken together with ice or stirred as preferred. A lime wedge is used as a garnish.

 

:martini:

Cheers then, lol
