 I thought you were waiting for my update, since mine were received at CGC on 11/8/19

Just because it might be me, ...... I called today, "the customer rep" said mine were at "SFG", but it hasn't updated on "my tracking yet"...... when it does I'll update the Current TAT thread  

It was YOU...I had to edit the post immediately when I realized it

Let's hear your collecting goals for 2020.  

To make a list of my collecting goals for 2021.

[lordisam]

To lose 20 pounds.

[D84]

1. Pre-Robin Detective Comics (Batman cover this time)
2. More Fun Comics (Spectre covers)

[Math Teacher]

Here's my most desired books to get in 2020:

1) Amazing Spider-Man #13 (CGC mid-grade) - I need to replace the CGC 7.0 I sold for $2300 in June
2) Avengers #8 (CGC 6.0 or higher)
3) X-Men #2 (CGC 6.0 or higher) - trying to complete an X-Men #1 - #20 run in CGC 6.0 or above
4) X-Men #6 (CGC 6.0 or higher) - see above
5) X-Men #10 (CGC 6.0 or higher - see above
6) Justice League of America #21 - #22 (CGC 7.5 or higher)
7) Tales of Suspense #57 (CGC 4.5 - 6.0)

Also, as someone mentioned above, another goal is to spend LESS money. I went way overboard in 2019.

Pull the trigger on an ASM #9 low-mid grade, that is reasonably priced. Actually purchased one years ago when I was young off Ebay for $75 (which was a lot for me back then). It 'got lost in the mail'. I was young and didn't know what options I had so I sucked it up as a loss.

[KCOComics]

My goal is to add 2 more marvel super keys to my collection. 

Lower grade ASM 1, FF1, TOS39 or JIM83.  If I get a good opportunity to upgrade my X1 or avengers 1 I will. 

Other than that I just hope to be activity growing my collection with cool SA and GA comics. 

[Mr. Spider-Woman]

My main goal for 2020 is to add Night Nurse #1 and #4 to my collection. Finding a copy of #4 shouldn't be too much trouble but I'm super cheap and even low-grade copies of #1 are often expensive. I'd also like to finish my original recipe Guardians of the Galaxy collection, which is missing Marvel Super-Heroes #18, among other early books featuring the group. Finding a cheap copy will also be a challenge.

3. Complete some runs. I am close to the Marvel Feature run from the 70s featuring Red Sonja. Same with her solo series from the 70's. I also want to complete some other oddball titles like Black Goliath, Champions, Inhumans and Supernatural Thrillers from the 70s. 

So doable, and really rewarding to revisit those runs for years to come!  

[Sargon]

I finished some major collecting goals this year, so next year will be interesting.

My run of Wonder Woman from 178-327 was completed along with Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and most of the Avengers from 100-300. I also finally finished Mandrake and Flash Gordon from King Comics.

 

I'm going to see what other Black and White Magazines I can find as well as working on my Phantoms from Gold Key, King, and Charlton.

Any chance I have to pick up nice Charltons or Dell/Gold Keys at affordable prices, I'll take it.

[Norrin_Radd]

To buy a comic book.  Haven't bought one all year.

[Pangolin]

A midgrade of ASM 14, the only Silver Age Green Goblin appearance that I miss in my collection

[Abibliophobia]

To go back to mom’s house and finally get my long boxes of 1980s comics packed up and shipped.

To complete my John Byrne X-Men run.

To save up for a higher grade X-Men 94.

To sell my Jr. Varsity X-Men slabs to put toward said 94.

To clean and press some worthy raw X-Men books and slab them.

To not spend as much as I did in 2019.

[southern cross]

Keep chipping away at my May 1972 collection. Only need 64 more books.

 

Also finish the Kirby 4th world collection.

And maybe one day finish my TTA run of 70-101 in cgc pedigrees. Only need 4 more books for that but I started it in 2007 so it's a case of slow and steady wins the race on those 😛

Don't plan on buying any new books in '20 unless something comes along my way that really catches my fancy.  In fact, this is the year I might trim some of my books from my already small collection.

I feel your pain.Deeply.Why I'm looking at more Edition Heritage rarities.Almost always in Loon,twoon prices and from Quebec/Montreal area.Helps a bunch.

If you ever get a chance,you're in GTA?Check out the Kitchener comics wharehouse,Wes is a great dude and the rest of the staff,and Guardian Comics plus Iceman399 on here are close to you too and great,great guys,Eric and Jim both.

I have dreams of turning about twenty long into a half dozen prizes-alas,I'm a lazy bahookie hoarder  

My problem is that when it comes time to downsize, I go through the boxes and suddenly it's "Oh, well, I can't possibly sell THAT one...oh, and this one has sentimental value...oh, and this one is part of that set, if I keep this one I have to keep these," etc. It's tough!
