I feel like all the DTR #1 first printings were made for me. Whenever I see them I scoop them up regardless of condition. When they are with someone else, they are not in the proper place. Their proper place is with me. My goal as I've stated before is to become the world's greatest comic book collector. 

I will not stop until every DKR #1 is with me. 

You can have my Tracey Returns if you want

I've got 1700 copies of Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man #2  

How delightful! That's not a particularly compelling issue, but fun nonetheless, and it does have an Omen reference on the cover. 

The parameters of the thread have been met, so I'm content with that.

Man, I'm making a poor showing as The World's Greatest Comic-Book Collector.

Alright, here's my pathetic entry.

I acquired this when I buying up collections a few years back.

13 copies of Supreme Power #1

I asked my comic shop for one of them TB. I said "Do you have the first appearance of Kiddley Lady?"

He said ""Don't you mean Kidney Lady?"

I said "That's what I said, diddley I?" 

 

 

 

I'll get my coat

Pretty sure it’s 2.  I tend to give away extra copies to friends, relatives, etc.

Awesome thread!  Love it.  

If you want to see some more examples, here's a good source:

Double Digit Multiples

Just an example (not my books)...

I'll be adding some of the examples in this thread to it.

Let's see some more!  Keep them coming. 

ugh--- that picture annoys me so much. I have been trying to pick up a reasonably priced copy of The Demon 1 for a few years now and this guy has over 50 in that one picture alone.

I know right?

These two annoy a lot of people too.

Here are 5 of the 6 graded copies I have.  I really need to get a couple of 9.6s to help balance the group.

Going through my DD Miller run and notice I've got 5 copies of DD issue #187. Got me thinking who has the highest number of copies of a single issue. Calamerica no doubt wins with his IM/SM #1 collection so the question is who comes in second. 

I would not so readily concede that Cal takes 1st place (with owning the most copies of a single SA book), however, I could be wrong (as I don't know his exact number).

I have read through this thread and appreciate the OP asking the question.

I think it is more interesting if we divide this into age categories.  Maybe Chuck (at Mile High) owns 1000 copies of some book no one would want for anything but to use as a fire starter, however, I would not put that in the same league as someone who owns numerous copies of some SA / GA book.

I am NOT trying to discourage ANYONE from showing photos of any book they have multiple copies of.  PLEASE keep the photos and posts coming (for any and all books).  I am just saying the playing field may not be level when comparing books from different eras.

Great thread!

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

Did someone say 'Cal?'

Whatever you do, don't say it three times within 24 hours.  Oh shoot...

Yeah, he's going to be difficult to compete with.
