Yes, raw-many, graded...takes time,money, and patience. 

So far my biggest graded collecting goal completed is, The Tomb of Dracula #1-70, and related Annuals 1-5 -in CGC 9.2 and higher. Took me a decade to complete. 

Im not loaded with cash :sorry:

but for me to complete that set was an incredible feeling.  :cloud9:

Dude, that is a great run to chase and finishing it is quite the accomplishment too !

short answer is "yes"

I started collecting Batman as a kid at about 12.  Since then I have completed the run from 1 to about 620. This pic is from when I finished the run.  Batman 10 was the last issue I needed to finish the run.  I look like a zombie because I finished the run shortly after my son was born and sleep was a big luxury.

That's an amazing picture. Congrats!  What is your fave Batman cover?

I have completed many collecting goals.

One is a complete run of Amazing Spider Man from AF 15 , ASM 1- 700

I am having a hell of a good time collecting Warren horror books.

I have completed my Vampirella,  Creepy, Blazing Combat runs. Still working on my Eerie run.

Damn AF15 and ASM 1-700 is incredible.  How long did that take you?

It took me years and years of collecting, but I completed 10/57 to 12/79 from Marvel Comics. Kinda close for completing all the Curtis Marvel mags too. Thanks for tagging me in this thread boys!!! At least a few are impressed with true OCD collecting. Haha. 

That's insane. Insanely awesome, just like your DD tattoos.

ah junk, i forgot! I did complete my Lucio Parrillo variant run on Vampirella this year. It took me about a year of almost daily hunting. I'm close to finishing one or two other similar small goals. I'm nowhere close at all to finishing two major goals (X-Men and Amazing spidey complete runs), but one day  :)
