Popular Post Chief1332 Posted December 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hard to show my best three this year because every book I own, I purchased this year. Instead, I would like to give a shout out to the friend that helped me to start this collecting endeavor(first name only)… Mark - your love of the hobby reignited my own. And through several, mentoring type of conversations, I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first book, in over 40 years, from you... Thanks Brother. This is the book, a 9.4 cbcs dream come true for this old guy.. comicjack, bc, grebal and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Tough to pick just 3; I'm sure I'm forgetting some that are even more special. Cliff R., grebal, badback83 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpg Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 This is an easy one for me as I bought exactly 3 comics this year, and that was last weekend! High grade copies of Yopung Love 91 and 93, and a 1st print Dawn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on my 2019 list It's not that nice, probably a 1.8 or so. I'm trying to collect a run of ASM 1-10 coverless. I found this issue at my local comic shop. I might just swap it for a coverless issue, it really doesn't belong with the others I've collected. Not A Clone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the book, a 9.4 cbcs dream come true for this old guy.. Hey Chief! It has been a pleasure talking comics with you over the past year my friend. It's been an honor to share my passion with someone that has that same fire. I know seeing beautiful artwork and reading stories that take me to other places really takes me back to my childhood and that's what this hobby is all about. I've met some great people through collecting (many right here on the boards) and I'm sure I will meet many more. Thank you for loving what I love. Here's to a great 2018 of collecting and an even better 2019! P.S. SWEET BOOK! BIGS (Mark) Chief1332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
